I’ve got a couple of months off after today! No detailed itinerary for you, webbiverse, because I want to dissuade stalkers and robbers, but the essence of the plan is to:

• Take Emily to meet her family in Malaysia and Denmark
• Train to do a half marathon as quickly as possible
• Finish creating a universe and write some short stories in it
• Help Amanda paint the living room and other assorted DIY stuff
• Spend a load of time with my girls, visiting friends, chillaxing

It’s very, very exciting. V. grateful to my employers, for giving me the opportunity (a benefit following 4 years service which I’m calling in after 7 years here!) and am looking forward to the break!
