Burns' busy-ness & rain, rain ,rain

I can't believe how January is seen as an 'empty' month by so many people. I've already restarted Sunday, Monday and Tuesday classes, given a lecture and currently I'm designing and printing seating plans (just the design and printing, the organisation is done by Irene, I'm not the clever one), bills of fare (organised by Doug, I'm not the clever one here either) and AGM posters (organised by Annelise and Irene, ditto) and checking all the other items involved in the Burns Night, from drinks tokens to table names. We will be decorating tomorrow morning so if anyone wants to come and help feel free to meet us at 10 a.m. in the Elea Club restaurant, many hands make light work. During this week I have been having physiotherapy for tendinitis in my left arm so I have strict instructions to take it easy - not something I'm good at, and possibly the cause of the problem in the first place, but the weather has been on the Physio's side and twice so far this week we've had to switch everything off because of lightening in the area - we do have UPS's for our computers but a lightening strike isn't something to gamble with so we play it safe and switch off - hopefully we wont have lightening tonight though with so much to do - and I better get on with it.
