Had a very expensive trip for sushi today, as the meeting I was going to London for was actually back in home base. So, travelled up, bought sushi for the addicts, and came back. Great way to waste a morning.

So, unofficially, I'm now 'at risk' with a very very high likelihood of redundancy. Just the paperwork to follow. Its a mutual decision, and I think its the right one, even if it will lead to job searching, which I HATE! The really awful thing about it, is that my one employee, who is seconded to me, will also be put at risk, and she rocks! She's the kind of person who when I ring with a problem, has already noticed the problem days ago, come up with a plan to solve the problem, and in fact, is already half way through fixing it. I adore working with her, and I will miss having her incredible competence behind me, making me look good. I've tried much much harder to find her a new role than I have for myself, but I've failed. Luckily, I don't think she is very upset with the situation.

Spent last weekend staying in Dover Castle (yes in!) It was wonderful, so thanks to J&M for making it possible. The castle is amazing, its been a working castle for almost all its life, and wandering around tunnels, through the napolenic tunnels and into those built for WW2 was really interesting. All that history! The weather was fairly typical, quite windy, but we did manage to sit outside and enjoy some wine, even if it did involve some blankets. And having read quite a bit about WW2, to then realise just how awfully close France is. I really had no idea, its not like you can see anything else from NZ. (except more of NZ!)
