Good grief, I've got a lot on at the moment. All of it self-instigated, I should say. That's right, I've not had pressure shovelled onto me from above; I've shovelled it over my own head. Only a fool would do this of course were the work tiresome. But in my case it's not.
Firstly I've decided to (re)start transcribing my diaries. I began this Herculean task last year, but I was doing it on a laptop at home, and in MS Word. This made it a torturous and slow process. It also meant I could only work on it when indoors. Predictably, then, the work ceased pretty quickly. So I've decided to change tack. This time I've created a Google docs spreadsheet. I've use formulae to render all the dates and the days of the week. I simply transcribe the words associated with each, pre-existing, date. I even do it all lowercase, so as to minimise the effort required from yours truly. Also, as it's web-based, I can work from home, the office, anywhere. I'm flying.
In addition to this, I've signed up for a spinning class at the Olympic Velopark. The first one is this evening. I've also started going to non-league football - specifically Clapton FC. Oh, and I'm learning to become a bike mechanic. And learn Spanish. All in all then, a busy schedule is pretty much guaranteed until they hand me the gold-plated carriage clock and retire my squad number. I'm enjoying every minute.
