So I’ve just landed myself a 5 day training course next week in Java. I am exceptionally pleased about this. I am really looking forward to next week now. At the very least, the training course is damn close to my flat. It’s not quite walking distance but it’s close enough. Most days shoud be over around 4.30 and I’ll get some more Eve time in (what!?!)

I have also made some decisions and have come up with a bit of direction. It is one that I have been thinking about for a good while but I am actually going to follow it through now. I just need to get some cash together and I’ll see what I can do about that in the next couple of weeks and then get going.

I am the man with the plan, if I can follow through on this plan it will make the coming weeks, months and indeed years rather interesting and rather tough too. I have no idea if I can handle it but I’m damn well going to give it a try.

This has been a very social week. I’ve had lunch with 4 different people and will head out out to the pub for our usual Friday semi team lunch. Going to go a little early to get a seat outside as it’s starting to become really nice over here. I’m hoping that it will be a nice weekend. I don’t have much planned, I want to pick up a few comics but mainly nothing planned. I may hit the cinema a couple of times, the Prince Charles has some stuff on that I want to see and a cheap quiet weekend sounds good.

Dublin is all confirmed. I get there on the 8th when I’m on holiday until the 11th. At that stage I’m attending a conference for next 2.5 days and back to London on the afternoon of the 13th. In a case of good timing, my dad is in London at the time I’m in Dublin on a course of his own. It overlaps a little, I’ll see him in Dublin before he leaves and then he is staying with me the weekend after. Some beers involved there I’m sure.
