"...busy for the short time you're there," yes, I knew about the clash, and that you'll need to be having meetings on the Monday. I'm actually thinking of taking the week off after Eastercon and maybe staying in London, because my main holiday next year will be the fortnight running up to World Fantasy and I'd quite like to have a break between Chickenmanay and November.

But also, as I say, work will be taking a turn for the better-paid but crazily-more-busy starting in January and I'll be up and down a lot, so I'll let you know when I'm around.
