A belated Happy New Year before January runs out! This month has been a whirl of catching up with work, keeping up with some family events back in the UK, renewing passports, renewing visas and a bit more besides. No obvious pause in sight as accelerator pedals are being pushed in various parts of the office but in some ways “that’s the way I like it baby, I don’t want to live forever” (I. Kilmister). More news at greater length should follow before too long.
