Friday's double post: Part 1
It's Friday so I'm writing a double post. Why? Because I can. This one is mainly links though. I did mention something about not having much to do since I got here but the day after I wrote that post, work rained down on me like...well, like rain actually. Now I'm up to my long neck in legal research and casemap. However Friday is the slowest day of all. Cedric the French intern walked in at 10.30 and 15 minutes later I met him downstairs having a coffee break with Nikki. Yes, a coffee break before you have actually started any work. This place literally runs on coffeebreaks- never mind the two hour lunch break, I know people who have three or four cofee breaks for up to twenty minutes for each break. It's a wonder we get anything done.
Reading: This other Eden by Ben Elton (who co-wrote the wonderful Blackadder and also wrote The Thin Blue Line) I've been reading so much depressing stuff lately that this is quite a welcome treat. It's a kind of post-apocalyptic comedy.
Anyway this week's links:
One of the best posts I've read this year. It comes from a Ugandan blogger who calls himself maatachi.
