I went back to Cheltenham last night after work, for my brother’s 30th birthday. It’s funny when your little brother hits 30. It’ll be strange when my little sister does.
I decided to work in Cheltenham today, to avoid rushing back to Swansea. On the one hand this was probably sensible because of the extent of the flooding in South Wales with today’s thunderstorms (accidents on the M4 & A48M). On the other hand, it ended up being hard work, & the day was so busy that I should probably have driven back to Swansea first thing this morning (its about the same commute-time by car as my usual Cardiff-Swansea bike-train-bike). On top of this I’ve been getting crap from an insurance company that doesn’t want to pay for repairs after I got knocked off my bike. Useless.
So I’ve got work to do tomorrow. I’ll go back to Cardiff tonight & drink lots of beer.
Summer is a break for students from University, but not for lecturers. It’s a break for lecturers from students, I guess.
