2 months and 1 Christmas Later

...hello?...

The blogging return of both Pete and Stephen has encouraged me to type a little. I think attempting to recap on the whole Christmas and New Year period would be a little overwhelming, so it's almost suffice to say that it was relaxing, amusing and unique.

So back to January. We've been back in Dundee for 3 and a half weeks and, despite a blip of a few days towards the end of last week when I had an odd stomach flu and had to take a couple of days off, things have been going well. I am currently on a 'shadowing' block which means I basically follow round one of the junior doctors on the ward trying to pick up what I'm supposed to be doing in August(!) when I start working for real.

I have been attempting to compile a CD (as unfashionable as having music on those shiny things is becoming) of my favourite tunes from last year. I think the three genres (as unsatisfying/satisfying as classifying music is) from last year were instrumental, pseudo-folk and Sufjan Stevens. Concentrating on one task at a time is proving difficult as usual.

Yesterday we headed down to Edinburgh to see our good friend Tim who is now living in Hong Kong, teaching English to rowdy kids, but who returned to the UK to pave the way for his (second) wedding (within a week) during the summer. It was good to see yon Tim as well as some of other good friends...hm, should've taken my camera in hindsight as we went for a very pleasant walk in the Pentlands as dusk descended.

Back to the rock'n'roll lifestyle tomorrow as another week of early starts and as it is the last week of the block frantic computerising. Rock and roll indeed.

Out.
