Though . . . I seem to have agreed to QA and reference-check the entire new draft of the coding manual. All right . . .
. . . and I seem to have agreed to help organise (and probably do most of the organisation) of a Murder Evening (or couple of hours, at least, over supper) for an awayday in November for the team of 15 . . .
Odd how these things happen.
