Dog Cat Days

So, August has happened.

It included:
- Nine Worlds convention (++good, many interesting conversations and overall fun, all my panels went well apart from the one that [thankfully] nobody turned up to)
- Loncon3 convention (less good, mostly because I spent a lot of time running around and saw old friends only in passing, usually on escalators or between programme items; my panels were a mixed bag though I did get complimented for moderation! also, was pretty ill)
- Shoreham Air Show (AirCon) (+good, EuroFighter v loud, wingwalkers v constrained by 'elf&safety, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden in a vintage WW1 plane, also there was a Lancaster but not the Canadian one)
- as much sleep / relaxation as I could fit in
- putting lots of stuff into boxes
- taking some stuff (= ozymandias_cat) out of boxes
- several relaxing afternoons on the M25

Morals of August:
- do not participate in two conventions over consecutive weekends
- spend less time on the M25 by moving inside it
- quitting werk to spend time on beach is a surefire way to bring RAIN
