Bitty sort of day with a training session on a digital mapping service, a lecture on security, a talk on planning for personal development, a meeting with my boss on progress and developments and another meeting on the perils of Facebook.

Sadly, the only meeting of the day I'd been particularly looking forward - the book group after work - has been cancelled/postponed because so many haven't finished the book (it's 1000 pages) or didn't like the book so didn't bother with it. [1] Irritating as it's the first book of the group that I've actually enjoyed. (Suzanna Clarke's oddly intriguing _Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell_).

[1] So much for my dutiful plowing through 7 previous books which I didn't much care for just so I could be part of the discussion and feel I'd committed to the group.
