The travels continue apace.

I've spent this past weekend in Aberdeen, catching up with friends and also going to my sabbatical reunion, which was all very nice. Us four ex-sabbs went to a Turkish restaurant, and it was absolutely lovely, not least for the novelty of eating a kebab at a table, before 1am, and with a knife and fork.

It was beautiful weather – freezing cold in Aberdeen and surprisingly mild in Shetland, where I was for Monday and yesterday for work – and I have a couple of good photos to share but I will have to post them next week when I get five minutes.

I had one day back in the office (today), then am on travels again for the rest of the week in Perth and elsewhere, and after a Saturday of catching my breath and Christmas shopping, I am off on Sunday until Wednesday of next week to Liverpool for a conference.

Then the week after… well, I honestly haven't thought that far ahead. Some time to myself would be nice!
