A busy day!
I'm off visiting the CCF programme this week (I am not directly in charge, but I'm handy to help sort out housing and food details, and that sort of thing). Everyone seems to be settling in well enough. Students have a very busy and full schedule in front of them, but I'm confident that they'll thrive.
I've spent the past several weeks catching up on all manner of things that needed doing, including an extended visit to my parents, for a little bit of a breather before the complexities of the YPL activities. Mum and I had an extended conversation about some of the research she's been doing: I could not persuade her to post some recipes, so I'll be doing so myself as I get some time.
I've had a couple of days in New London, mostly taken up by meetings, but I'm looking forward to a bit longer in between the YPL visits, and am looking forward to seeing some more of the sites. I'm almost wondering if I should take up a lease on a flat for the next month or two just to make it easier to manage.

Re: Private message to Aurora
My own schedule's likely to be a tad erratic, if the cursed meetings keep going as they're going. (Tonight's was particularly bad: political debate, as much as a planning session, and very little got done, but I had to sit and smile through it.)
Besides, I'd tell you if I found a boyfriend. Though where I'd have the time to find one, I have no idea, given that the only time I've had to myself was those few days at my parents. I fear their orchard does not grow eligible bachelors - or ineligible ones, for that matter - on its trees.
At any rate, I'll plan to show up at Spencer House on the 22nd for a few days (we've the camping trip to deal with before that), be off with the YPL from the 25th to the 29th, and then come stay for a bit at night, though I may be off to the CCF camp during the day. (I'm rather hoping not: I don't feel like I'm doing much, and I do have some reading and discussions I'd like to have with some colleagues in New London if I get the time.)
