Busy, Busy

I have had a busy few days.

I have

• driven south to spend a long weekend with old friends, catching up with CDs on the journey and spending some quality time behind the wheel
  
• been to the ballet, which was wonderful
  
• flown to London (and back)
  
• spent an evening and a day learning how not to kill myself on mountains – the day being spent in blizzard conditions at 800m in the freezing cold whilst hurtling down a mountain head first on my back (ok, that’s was just part of it, but you get the picture)
  
• been to a naming ceremony, something I had nothing been done before. (This is a modern christening – a secular event. I didn’t even go to my god-child’s christening – since it never actually happened. This is actually a good thing – I get to be god-parent without religion. But still, they could have had a naming ceremony.)
  

I want to tell you about all these things – and I shall – but I have been sufficiently busy (and knackered) to actually post much whilst this was all happening; plus when I was home, I wanted to spend the time with my wife rather than tied to the computer.

So I shall write about these things; but, in case I don’t, at least you know where I have been.
