Happy birthday, serriadh!

Well, phew. And FLOPPP

No really, after I do this thing tomorrow my dance card is practically blank. Okay, I have a work presentation but that is reprise of thing I did elsewhere, and another work-related thing but that is an 'in conversation' type of deal, and a day workshop (at least, I think there is - things have gone a bit quiet) at which I am just there to be an informed discussant.

Oh, and do some really minor edits on a article which has been accepted (so I have two peer-reviewed articles on the way to publication, a chapter in a volume that's suppose to be out this year, and three more chapters in various stages of maybe getting published sometime).

Gosh, this might even mean that I could get back to sorting out the material from my research trip and doing some proper planning on the New Project and putting together a proposal for possible funding.

Well, there is a paper I'm giving in the New Year but think it will largely be reworking existing piece with different slant.

No, really, have I forgotten something?
