The Man with No Time

I've finally made it back to my parents after the most hectic 10 days that I've experienced in a long time.  Since leaving St Andrews a week ago on Friday I've Drive to Sheffield Helped out at 2 days of the RLSS National Speed Championships Driven to my parents Had a two day conference at the Royal Society in London Had a two day discussion meeting at Chicheley Hall Driven to Bath Panicked at the last minute preparations for the BULSCA Student Championships Overseen 2 days of the BULSCA Student Championships Driven back to my parents I'm not even home yet - I'm driving back up to St Andrews tomorrow. I intend to take my time over it! I've not had time to blog about my experiences as I go along, but I'll be posting about all of the things I've been doing over the coming week. But first, I need sleep. Lots, and lots of sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Later today the blog will be going quiet for a bit, as I'm about to embark on a road trip around the UK. The next 11 days will see me drive up and down the country travelling from event to event. I'm starting off in Sheffield at the RLSS Speeds Championships this coming weekend. Two days of the fastest lifesavers competing to be best in the UK. It should be fun, but I'm not competing; I'm going down to shadow the organisers and get some last minute help and tips for my own competition. After that I'm going down to London for a two day conference at the Royal Society, before heading to Chicheley Hall (near Milton Keynes) for the associated discussion meeting. I'm particularly looking forward to the latter, as it should be a different atmosphere to a normal conference. I'm expecting a much less formal structure, which will be a nice change. While I'm at both conferences I'll be poking around to see who's got postdoc positions opening up so...
