1 week done, 2 more to go
So that's the first week in Cumbria finished. It's a nice place, but I didn't get to see too much of it this time around. Most of my time was spent wrestling with CAD / GIS integration. In true procrastinating style I got most of the easy stuff done, the difficult stuff awaits my return.
It wasn't all work though. I did get to sup a few pints in the local CAMRA-approved pub, The Bitter End. Nice beers, especially the Cuddy Lugs bitter. It's a nice pub too, it reminded me of The Loft in Falcarragh.
I'm back there again in a couple of weeks, which will give me a chance to try out the rest of the beer menu.
Now it's time for an overdue holiday, we're off to London and Glasgow, flying with Ryanair, EasyJet and Aer Lingus. As a compare and contrast exercise the flying itself will be interesting.

More travelling.
Are they trying to tell me something? If Syria wasn't enough now it's Sellafield.
I'm to spend at least a week in Cumbria doing GIS stuff with CAD data, flying out next Monday. All going well I'll be back there again for another week or two in early December.
I'm going to have to plant a large forest to atone for all of the carbon I've generated by flying this year. (According to the basic calculator on Carbonfootprint.com I've run up over 12 tonnes so far this year, perhaps I should support carbon-free energy such as, um, nuclear)
