Dog Chases Tail. Life begins at 9.

What a day. Many would say I've been productive and I do like days where you clear hundreds of little items off your to do list. However I do hate days when I start my real work at 9PM. Thankfully I don't have too many days like that and thankfully I am waiting for my wife who will only return from Paris at midnight tonight, otherwise it would have been another, "your dinner's in the dog" evenings.

As regards the week overall, it's been successful. I've been up to Finland and I think I've managed to help a bit and put them on the right tracks. The bench has remained stable. I've managed to do all the group status reporting, and I've even managed to speak to a few of you on the phone. The next four weeks don't look to be a stroll in the park either - I start a major new RFP on Monday for 4 weeks whilst trying to keep 4 other clients happy too. Next week will see me visit two of my French clients and I may have to go back to Dublin some time soon as well.

As for the group in general, there are also other bits of good news floating around - Davide's orals in Dublin went well and we've been short listed there. We're expecting an RFP from a pharma company next week following my chat with them at the end of last month. We're also signing the contract on a major deal we won in January so finally we'll see the greenbacks roll in.

I have to say that at the end of yet another week doing RFPs, I'm looking forward to Easter. Apart from the fact that I can start eating chocolate and drinking Guinness again, I've also got a 3 days show jumping competition in San Sebastien in Spain so I'm looking forward to that immensely. Just so you know, I'll be in London next week Monday to Wednesday. I'll be in OB but let me know if you want to catch up. I should also be spending a fair bit of time in London over the 3 weeks after Easter too so don't hesitate to give me a shout.
