Work/life balance

Well, I've been living in Newcastle for nearly two months now. Beyond the daily grind of my job, life is proving somewhat vexing. Though I am managing to get out much more than when I was living in Lancashire, as yet I haven't had chance to really develop a social life. Part of the problem is that the company I now work for is rather small and is simply the kind of business where there's so much going on that socialising isn't a real option. Hence I'm trying to explore other avenues to develop a life around here - I'm thinking of trying a book club, maybe taking some classes, that kind of thing. Though it does remain to be seen how things will work out

On the DA side, 'work' work is taking up so much of my time and energy that I'm still not writing much. However, I do have the bones of a series of short stories, which I will get around to fleshing out at some point. Watch this space.
