good but full day

Very busy day. Also had PDR, which went better than I'd expected (all right, so I was a bit paranoid, and memories of school reports are hard to entirely avoid) and was really quite encouraging. (Apart from the bits where I had to admit that I hadn't completed my development plan, hadn't been updating my action spreadsheet, and still hadn't managed to train other team members in a particular package. Ah well. My boss knows we're busy.)

Up tomorrow at Ungodly Early am to catch the 6.15 am train for Malvern, to attend the Quilts UK exhibition/fair/shopping opportunity there. Given that I'm going to be on the train for about three hours each way, I've packed a couple of books, my Nintendo DS, and some knitting. And will probably sleep.

Very much looking forward to a bit of fabric indulgence.
