debithaThere is finally a decent sushi restaurant in Bath. I have been twice in 2 weeks. I have never had salmon so tender and delicious. Om nom nom nom.
My new boss started this week, so the new job is really kicking off. It has been kind of crazy this week with wall to wall meetings, (some at the office, one in Dartford and one in Bedford) but things are looking really interesting. Particularly as the client looks like they will be giving us a fairly free rein. We pretty much plan to run with it.
I am off to Egypt with the lovely TP next weekend. She would probably really appreciate it if I got my shit together and sorted out some transport and accommodation issues... (I'm on it, I promise!)
I am a few weeks into my Iron Age archeology course, which is really interesting. Although the lecturer keeps trying to talk us out of preconceptions which I don't have, so that gets a little weird sometimes. Not savages constantly at war, complex trade and social set-up, I get it. Move on. Hillforts (frequently not on hills, and often not actually forts!) are particularly interesting. It's quite hard sometimes trying to pull it all together. Halfway through a discussion about single bank and ditch enclosures on a flat area with evidence of maybe one or two structures inside it I suddenly thought (and therefore said), "Hang on, weren't there wolves and bears around at this point? Mightn't it be to keep the wildlife off your livestock?" Apparently this was a brain wave. Go me.
Anyway, I should go answer some emails. Ciao, beautiful people!

Are we still on for Greek Islands in 2010? That'll be awesome. We can geek out together. It will be nice not to get funny looks and patient sighs when I get excited about something.
