So in less than two weeks:

• I had to find emergency housing for someone in crisis.
  
• I flew out to Sweden to see ghoti_mhic_uait and the children.
  
• My father-in-law was taken ill very suddenly, and died a few days later.
  
• I squeezed half a holiday with my dear friends pseudomonas and hatam_soferet and her husband and daughter, around supporting jack dealing with grief and death bureaucracy.
  
• I gave a talk about my research to an international audience.

And now it's my last week at work and I have a zillion things to finish off before I leave.

Most of these are things I don't want to talk about outside a lock, but the upshot is I'm not very present online at the moment. We are coping on the whole, but if you have extra niceness to spare please send it jack's way.
