As from Monday I start a two-month sabbatical from work. I've been here for seven years so they give me some time off to go and achieve something. Not sure exactly what yet.
I'm still going to do APG stuff so I won't be completely out of touch, but it'll be nice not to worry about day to day work things.
I'm going to try and post daily for the whole two months, so I can see if I do actually achieve anything.
Plans include:
Losing weight. Doing exercise. Writing more. Doing some music. Doing some long walks. Posting more to eggbaconchipsandbeans (which may not square exactly with losing weight). Hanging out much more with Arthur. Going to cultural stuff and watching lots of daytime telly.
what a tremendous gift a two month sabbatical is! my advice: find a new hobby! I have always wanted to learn to play the fiddle and learn to sea kayak. While I certainly don't need a sabbatical to achieve those goals, it would make it easier. Have fun!!
(if my boss reads this: I've been working for company X for over 12 years; don't you think I deserve one of these?)

You lucky sod! What a nice company you must work for. Hope you enjoy your time off. Don't waste it all watching Balamory and Big Brother like I would.
