I didn't go to the gym in the end. Nor did I cycle around the place with Cormac. Instead I went down to the boathouse to fit some decent shoes in the 7 seat that I'll be occupying for the forseeable future and then bank partied the Dev crew (which Keith is in) for a Head race on the river. It was an OK row but a lot of the crew really needs to work on their flexibility and timing (not that my crew doesn't).

The logistics and other things associated with Kris' continued presence in the UK has been on my mind these last few days since her return and run-in with the Border and Immigration people. I really don't know what we're going to do to solve that particular issue except that we have to if we're going to stay together. At least in England, where I'd like us to be. As we discover more information we can make more informed choices and I guess we'll take it from there. Suffice it to say that when those kinds of things are on your mind your mojo can take a bit of a hit right at the moment when you were hoping to use it.

Work is quite dull at the moment. I'm playing around with Fedora 11 on the assumption that it's going to form the basis for RHEL6 when it comes out some time next year (with the beta some time towards the end of this year). Other than that I've got rowing this evening (so leaving soon) and my appraisal tomorrow morning. Neither I nor my appraiser know exactly what we're going to talk about considering how quiet it is at the moment but I'm sure I'll think of some things to bring up with regarg to expanding my role and getting some more out of this post. For now though, I think it's time I left, met Kris, gave her a bit kiss and then cycled home in what's turned out to be a rather lovely spate of weather. Considering I actually left work early to avoid a torrential downpour and thunderstorm which never materialised I'm kind of assuming it's hiding and will dump on me and my crew this evening.
