It's after 6pm and I'm still in the office. I'm just taking a few moments to myself before I start on the weekend. It's been one hell of a week and there's been very little time to catch up on the sorts of back-burner leisure activities like blogging. That's not entirely true, but I would say that my bloggage and facebookage for this week have been at a low ebb.

On the up-side today, I got some news about how I'll be working, which is nice, and I also took my team out for a nice lunch. Lunch is always good.

Tonight should be a big one. I've got a gig at 8pm tonight in Reigate, Surrey. After that, I'm driving to my house in Newcastle. The plan is to get some sleep, then I need to go to B&Q in the morning and get the necessary stuff to sort out the fence in the back garden that I didn't get the chance to sort out last weekend. I just want it done. Also, I'm increasingly of the opinion that I should get some use out of the Newcastle house, just to make the most of the huge amount of money I spend on it.

Saturday night I've a gig in Chester, followed by the drive home to Reading. On Sunday I wake up in Reading, maybe I'll do some DIY, or maybe I'll not. Then Sunday night I've got a gig in Reading. That's my weekend sorted.

Oh, and I forgot to bring a towel with me from home, so I'm due to drop into my parents' place between Newcastle and Chester for a quick shower on Saturday afternoon. The Newcastle trip will indeed be brief.

I've got that Friday feeling, for sure! It's been a very challenging week professionally and next week is the beginning of a whole new world for me... or at least I hope it is. We'll see.
