Marie is still away on her trip to survey a cross section of Bhutanese farmers and distributers to better understand the dairy chain.  It&#8217;s her first time leading a team and she&#8217;s loving it.<\/p>\n<p>I, on the other hand, have been moping around the house for a couple of weeks.  The trip back from Varanasi left me emotionally drained, coming back to live in a rubbish dump didn&#8217;t help and neither did finding out about family problems.  Not that I&#8217;ve been completely idle.  Priority number 1 was getting the shelves up so that I could turn our rubbish dump into a home.  The result is fantastic, with a larger living room than I knew we had and a desk with room to put papers for reading.  Unfortunately, bricks in Bhutan look like cakes baked without a tin.  It was almost impossible to find two edges straight enough to create a stable base, but I managed to balance the opposing leans of bricks in most cases.  But the ones left over for my study were all convex so the shelves rock.  I don&#8217;t yet know whether the printer on the top shelf will cause the whole thing to fall over.  I&#8217;ve left tidying the bedroom for Marie as most of the rubbish in there is her work stuff and if I try to place it all on the shelves, she&#8217;ll probably claim she can&#8217;t find anything.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been working on the web site.  After numerous attempts to create a new look, I gave up.  I should be focusing on work and just want to get this done.  So it&#8217;s almost the same as before.  I believe I still need to find out what&#8217;s wrong with the RSS, but that&#8217;s not a priority for me now.<\/p>\n<p>And the time off, cycling, slowly cleaning up my personal life, has helped.  I almost feel ready to go back to work tomorrow.  Lots to do.  Tax reports to be made.  People to call.  Clients to find.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a long slow recovery.
