Low...

I must admit that I've been feeling a little low lately. The problem, I think is that I've been letting things get on top of me. Generally, I've had a lot to do, and as usual, I've been trying to do it all at once as quickly as possible. I realised today that I need to sit back, take stock and do what I can when I can.

I had a good week for catching up with people. Last Sunday, I met up with James which was lovely. It made me realise that I see my hockey buddies throughout the hockey season, and then as soon as the hockey stops, I don't see them for a couple of months. I've decided that next year, I'm going to try to catch up with people at least once a month to see how they are.

I'm meeting up with Russ at the beginning of September and on Saturday I met with TT and had a lovely day out in London. We started with the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms, then had lunch at Tower Hill, and finished with a bit of shopping along Regent Street and Oxford Street. It was really nice.

Some jiggery-pokery went on with regard to hotel bookings over the weekend. No longer am I stopping in the Savoy when I overnight in Geneva in September, but I've managed to get a deal at the superior Warwick.

Out goes the Martta in Helsinki for the 2007 Eurovision, because following extensive negotiation with my travel agents, I've got the better and cheaper Helka in the bag.

All change please... all change.
