So all the usual 'home' activities have to be packed into the weekend. Yesterday morning ... http://www.boraston.net/blog/2008/11/30/sunday-at-home/ I have finally managed to connect to the hotel's Wi-Fi network - only taken two days to get the laptop connected, although the PDA connected almost immediately! The hotel is near the office, and more convenient than travelling backwards and forwards each day. I seem to be settling in, the ... http://www.boraston.net/blog/2008/11/27/wednesdayfrom-the-hotel/ Lots of changes this week, and I did start a post on Thursday, but didn't get round to finishing it!

The other activity has been the preparations for ... http://www.boraston.net/blog/2008/11/16/sunday-10/ Back home again, and in fact I was actually discharged on Monday, and arrived home in the evening, but yesterday seemed to go in a haze of catching up on the last week, and I felt surprisingly weak, so I didn't get round to the blog! Many thanks to Mark for ... http://www.boraston.net/blog/2008/11/12/wednedsday-home-again/ Talked to Peter this afternoon and he is in good form. He dictated the following: Feeling well, expect to be in for another 2-4 days. Tests tomorrow to see how well the treatment is going. Biggest problem is boredom. But the good news is that the food seems to have ... http://www.boraston.net/blog/2008/11/09/blog-update-via-phone-to-mark/ Hmm - looks like I spoke too soon - just had Guy's on the phone - I have a potentially nasty viral infection that needs urgent treatment - 5 days in hospital. Will post more when I know more or when I get back! http://www.boraston.net/blog/2008/11/05/wednesday-a-bit-later/ I didn't stay up for the US election (not something I had a stake in) but the predicted landslide happened, so we will see what the next few months brings! On the domestic front. tme seems to be flying by at the moment - with quite a lot happening. Socially ... http://www.boraston.net/blog/2008/11/05/wednesday-new-dawn-in-the-usa/ Well it was certainly snowing on the M1 last night as we made our way back from Bletchley Park, home of the wartime code and cypher breakers.
