Tuesday and Wednesday made a formidable combination.

Tuesday involved clients, videos, precious metals, small dogs and very, very expensive burgers.

Wednesday involved long drives, reunions, strategy meetings, document drafting, venting, more driving and eventually some relaxing.

It’s made for a busy couple of days, but it was good to finally catch up with Currin, who is now back from the US. We worked out it has been pretty much a whole year since we saw each other last, and it really is remarkable how well our collaborations have progressed considering all communication has occurred over Skype and Google Docs.

I’m a good way through Seven Years In Tibet now. I read Palin’s Himalaya recently, and to be perfectly honest, was a bit bored by it. Not that I don’t like Palin or his style (_Sahara_ is a fantastic read), but I just never found the appeal in this one. Seven Years on the other hand, is a really great read (written with clarity, despite the strangely over-complicated preface) and I’m lapping it up.

But that’s my escape. Otherwise, it’s most certainly a time to knuckle down.
