A week ago Friday (the 17th) I was in London for the day for a work-sponsored "Computer Systems Validation" course. The content was very dry but the tag-team lecturers and the lunch/facitlities were quite good. After, I stayed to wander around Regent St. & Oxford St. to take in some of the christmas lights and holiday displays. Unfortunately the trains from Paddington back to Oxford were hosed & I had to travel via Reading on the slow service, not getting home until after 9.

Then next day was the Gran's 97th, and though it had only been two weeks since my last visit, I made the trek up there to throw a card and some gifts at her. I think she liked the sack of spuds best.

My pain from my RSI has largely resolved itselft after only 2-3 days of anti-inflammatories; I need to email my GP to see whether I should continue or keep my physio appointment next week. I've also been given the opportunity to make any required adjustments at work that are necessary to alleviate the symptoms.

This past week went by in a blur as I rushed to finish the last 2 projects of my course work. I regret not having spent more time on them, but on the other hand factored that they will contribute only 20% towards my final grade in the class. Only six weeks to go until the 3+ hour final exam....

I was off Thursday doing the last of the projects, not really aware it was Thanksgiving too until my next door neighbour brought over a slice of pumpkin cheesecake.
