It's hard to get used to spilling your guts on the web ... hence my lack of entries this week. Experience tells me that, while life seems mundane in the extraordinary at the moment, in just a few short weeks it will all seem so fascinating. That is why I must get better at blogging.

I've just finished work on publishing the TIMEeurope.com contribution to TIME's 9/11 Memorial special. As always these things take a little long than expected, roughly 400% longer, even just to put up a series of copied links. Oh, and of course there were the six dozen tweaks to the site templates, which I've been meaning to do for ages and never get round to it.

It should be a quiet week in the office, certainly for the first couple of days. Andrew is taking some time off and since this was the low-stress 9/11 issue it seemed like a good time. Looming is the Fall/Autumn Fashion Special: here's to topping the last effort and winning some plaudits from my colleagues!

This is also a week for the kiddies to wend their way back to school, leaving me and their mum -- the Gorgeous Beastie -- with more time to be a couple again: isn't compusory education a wonderful thing?
