This week was largely eaten by life admin
At least, that's how it seemed.
There was the flu jab accomplished (arm soreness gradually receding).
I not only finally rang the dental practice for an appointment for my overdue checkup, they managed to fit me in - with a new dentist, the former one having departed - this very week. (No work needed - yay!)
Organised jaunt to Scotland - I am attending an academic Thing next month and am extending the time and going with partner and doing a little tourism. Have booked trains. Have also, with much wailing and gnashing of teeth, succeeded in making hotel bookings for the days that have not been booked for me already by the university - I did this by phone, in hopes that this would permit of linking up these bookings, HAH! (possibly if I speak directly to Reception rather than Central Bookings, nearer the date?) - but, anyway, this took several further phone-calls to wrest confirmation emails out of them as they had taken down my email wrong. And when I got the emails, one of the bookings had an error I need to call back and correct. Deep sigh.
Also have just had to sort out an overdue charge on a credit card - cannot see that I actually ever received last month's account???
However, during the week did also manage to do the podcast thing mentioned on Monday, produce a referee's report on a journal article, and answer two queries relating to my spheres of expertise which turned out slightly more arduous than I had anticipated.
Plus achieved editorial work towards publication of next volume of CC's circle.
And today, met up with
redbird,
liv and
green_knight for lunch, followed by exploration of the treasures of the British Library, and ice cream at Ruby Violet at Kings Cross, all with the accompaniment of excellent conversation.
