Ok, I am now officially exhausted. Out of the house at 06:30, got back at 18:15 with 3.5 hours driving up and down the M40 in heavy(ish) traffic, and in-between several hours of lectures on the latest version of Symposium Web Client Server 4.5. Now I need to get two heavy folders into work tomorrow in my rucksack!

The driving was shorter than I expected, and I am only just starting Chapter 14. The Astra was quite comfortable to drive, but my neck and shoulders are really still and sore now - I hate motorway driving.

I really should have filled the car back up with fuel, but I was only just back in time for Amanda to go out... So National will just have to fill it and charge a ridiculus 90p per litre. The advantage from my point of view is - Just one bill to claim back the money for.

Back in the office tommorow, and if I get time - I have a PC to rebuild with XP, and a Windows 2000 PC to 'Hand Over' to a user, neither of which is part of my 'Proper' job - but if I don't do it, no-one else will. I also have some more bits to tidy up on the Web server, as I am off again for three days next week. Decorating here we come again...
