Three Quarters...

...of the way through my week back home. Although time flies too fast, it has however been fairly productive.

• All stuff to go to the US was packed and should be on the water by now.
• All stuff to go to storage was packed and is now in storage.
• The house is 99.9% empty, just a few things to collect and some stuff to throw away.
• Drinks were drunk with friends.
• Dinner was eaten with colleagues.

A reasonably large "to do" list has emerged, which needs to be converted into "next actions" ready to be actioned.

Being back in NL is great, if a little strange. I'd started to get used to how big everything in the US is. The roads, vehicles, food, drinks, buildings, everything really. It was nice to see old things again. Mother nature even sent some rain for posterity.

It's been really good to be away from work - okay, sure, I have the blackberry, but, I'm quite disciplined about my inbox these days;

• I check it when /I want to/ not every minute when a new mail arrives
• When I do look at my inbox, I action the emails - no reading and leaving for later.

The same goes for my Blackberry - I've been skimming through looking for anything that looks critical only and whilst the place did not fall down without me, yet, I see there has been some issues that I will have to attend to next week with stern consequences [sigh], but, that's /next week/ so right now, Party On.
