      Diwali. That explains it. And there was me cursing the lower classes kids.

        I found the best time is around April when the Sikhs celebrate 'Vaisaki' They cordon off half the town and pave it with stalls and stalls of free food

            Phone call from ex-client co manager earlier this evening.

            Ex-Client: Are you available at the moment?
            Me: Sort of, why?
            Ex-Client: We've got a really urgent requirement to get someone in, we are short staffed and can't cope. It's essentially doing what you did for us before. Interested?
            Me: Sure, but I have couple of other clients on the go so...
            Ex-Client: Not a problem, you can work from home. Can you start tomorrow?
            Me: Errr, yeah?
            Ex-Client: Great! I'll set up the paperwork ASAP and get back to you.

            Looks like I'm going to be busy in the run up to Christmas.

              Aren't you overcommitting a little?

              Nice to have the work but you have to say no at some point.
