bookzombieYeah, not posting much again. No particular reason, just not really feeling very communicative right now I guess.
We had![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pennski's Grandma's funeral last Monday, which went as well as can be expected for that sort of thing. I know Pennski is still processing her feelings about it, especially as they were quite close.
Work continues to be interesting. It looks like I'm getting a new manager shortly; it's likely to be someone I've worked with a lot over the years. He usually has his heart in the right place, if not his brain (and certainly not his morals, which is an entirely different discussion.) He wouldn't be my first choice but I know he likes my work so we should be able to make it work.
It's likely that I won't have the SAP ABAP developers reporting to me, which will delight some and disappoint others. I've got mixed feelings - in some ways I'll be glad to get rid of the responsibility, but on the other I'd still like to make sure they are being looked after properly.
Other than that we are still finding out how the change of ownership will shake down. It seems that my job is fairly safe at least for the moment, but what will be happening in another year or two is difficult to judge. It would be nice to have a bit of a period of stability - it's been three years really since things have been settled - but it seems unlikely. We'll see.
With less than four weeks to the show rehearsals are going reasonably well. Should be a lot of fun, but at the same time I'll be quite glad when it's done. The next show after that is 'The Sound of Music' and I haven't decided whether I'm going to be in it yet. I'll decide a bit nearer the time; in another four weeks I should have a slightly better idea of what is happening at work.
We've invested in a 'SAD' lamp in the hope that it might lift the autumn blues a bit (we're already getting up when it's still dark.) We'll see how that goes!
Pennski has been making an astonishing amount of jams and chutneys with the produce of the garden, we've had to have a wasps nest removed, we've become obsessed with Strictly Come Dancing again this year, the new Sarah Michelle Gellar series Ringer is trashy, but entertainingly awful. My thoughts on the second half of this year's Doctor Who will be up on the blog eventually (summary: didn't hate it but was left a bit 'meh'. Liked the idea of the Doctor becoming mysterious again though)
That's it for now!
