I've been contacted by a recruitment agency
for a bank job in London (database development, not safecracking). £65000pa and it sounds like I could do it. It would mean moving to London, though.

Would you?

I would, that's a good salary.

So So, ran 3 and 4 miles on Thursday and Friday and went surfing yesterday
today I was too tired and sore to do any significant excercise apart from some body surfing. Tomorrow I intend to do some more surfing.

Sadly, I'm not feeling terribly optimistic about running at the moment.
