Hmm a new week and a much happier Caz. After an absolute nightmare of a week which seemed it would never end last week I was positively happy yesterday for the start of the week on site. Why? That would be because of the return of the person I was covering for sick leave on has returned! Its amazing the joy of seeing the car of said person parked up in the compound can bring! So I’ve started the week a lot less stressed and happier about leaving site towards the end of the week to go off to Gascit. Its always nice to be able to handover to a person when you go on leave or return from leave rather than leaving bits of paper.

Mind you I’m still tired even though I had a big lay in for me on Sunday (to 9am!), but at least the shoulders aren’t aching as much this week … and I’ve pretty much sorted the paperwork yesterday :)

Just have the delights of the M40/M42 on Wednesday night after work between me and Gascit yet to get past. Packing gets done tonight after my first (and I feel somewhat pointless, but it’s a hoop I’ve got to jump through for my PH mentor) parents meeting for Pack Holiday. They get to see the photos of the new adults on the scene … will Little Sis and Dr T scare them? Let’s hope not!

Tents: Backpacker 1 Mountain Hardware 0 (well I can't be doing with hassles of the mountain hardware after a long car journey ... mind you this might change and I end up putting both tents in the boot!)
