A busy week...
The past week is a bit of a blur and I apologise to regular readers, who probably consider me to be a bit slack in providing updates!
On the home front, we finished birthday celebrations last weekend with a trip to DarkZone (laser tag) for my daughter and a dozen of her friends. A good night was had by all, including Deb and myself, who decided to don the game vest and proceed to run around for 15 minutes getting shot at by all and sundry... for the record, I'm blaming my loss on the fact that my *gun* didn't work correctly...
Our cat, for anyone who knew, is on the mend after a bout of cat flu'. Even though she's been vaccinated against it since Day 1, we think her recent stay at a cattery caused her illness. Very nasty to watch her sneezing, and coughing, but as I say, she is now on the mend!
On Monday, I received news that I was being promoted to a new position... without me asking or applying for it. I don't know how well I'll be able to find time for the additional workload, but we'll just wait and see.
Uni results came out on Thursday night, and to my complete and utter surprise I received HDs. Extremely unexpected given that I was almost positive I'd stuffed up one exam. Gotta love that Bell curve and the old scaling factor, I suppose. :)
And of course, there is my book... it's appeared in the Angus & Robertson database, and I've had a few sales (made by people who know me...) which is a good start. We launched the book with a competition for the local schools, and have recieved some feedback from that front already: more information is on the Kids Page of the website! (www.wyvernstone.com) Additionally, the local paper (Whitehorse Leader) are writing a bit of a story, and sent a photographer (Kris) out midweek to snap some photos of myself with the book. As most people who know me are aware, I hate having my photo taken at the best of times, and by the end of the "posing", I was all over the process. And though I feel sorry for her camera lens (!), I think Kris did a great job of managing to force a smile out of me. :)
Anyway, that's about it for now!
cheers,
Andrew
