End of an exhausting, but successful week

Well, I got through my third and final teaching class this morning (lasted just short of 2-hours, all the time on my feet!). It was a good class, with great interaction from the students.

I must now prepare for my second teaching module, which is on the 23, 24 and 26th April. I realised as I went through this week that there are definitely a few areas for improvement, and I am going to work at these so that the classes are better next time round.

I also just finished, and submitted, my article on a Symposium I attended in November last year, for our internal newsletter. I am relieved that I have not missed any deadlines (!). Phew ...

This afternoon my wife's parents arrive for a 2-week stay. My father-in-law is bringing down a bicycle for me - my own bike was stolen a while ago, which was a pity, as it was a great bike, with 18-gears, and other gadgets to help with racing. This bike of Lisa's dad is much more basic, without any fancy racing aids, but it's a bike, and he's GIVING it to me (!), which is really cool, and I am grateful to him. I plan to use it to get to work and back - and in that way, save petrol. Lisa also will then have the car to get around more easily in the mornings.

I'll also use the bike to cross-train, to aid my running training.

Still have tons of work and planning for other work to do. I must make a start on these projects this weekend, otherwise there's just no way I will cope with it all ...
