It is with some sadness that this is the first time in over 25 years I haven't played in the Armidale pairs bridge tournament, which is on this weekend. My name occurs on the shield more than anyone else apart from my regular partner, Barbara Gates. However, she was unavailable this weekend and I doubted my ability to survive 17 hours of play.
So, instead, I turned to some academic work. Tomorrow, Monday, I'm presenting a seminar on housing affordability and I have to prepare the powerpoint presentation. Immediately afterwards I'm attending a planning meeting for a new Professional Doctorate degree for which I am preparing some of the documentation. Then it's on to writing two articles, one of them commissioned with a deadline of next Friday and refereeing a manuscript I received yesterday.
Dot is freaking out, warning me not to go so hard! It doesn't help her that I keep bumping into colleagues who ask after me and commenting that I look really well.
