Gardening
As predicted in the previous diary, am feeling slightly annoyed about feeling guilty for not having done more preparatory work. Am trying to figure out if we can hire a van, but it's already too late. Anyway, I'm sure we can cope.

Having the parents over seems to elevate my stress levels by about double. They're lovely people, but they expect so much of me and I worry about disappointing them.

Work
We received a CV from an Indian consultant which was fifteen pages long. We were suitably impressed by his verbosity. See poll...

Listening
Got the new Royksopp album. It's not bad; there's some catchy tracks on there. One or two have rather too much of an 80s electro-pop feel for me at the moment. There's about seventeen tracks on there so I might need a few more listens to get an overall opinion.

Considering buying the latest albums by these artists:

• Goldfrapp
• Turin Brakes
• Foo Fighters
• Elbow

Thoughts?

* I rather liked this video of stone sculptures being un-destroyed.

This is taken at the bottom of the Mound, in Edinburgh, of the Gallery of Scotland. More Edinburgh photos here.

For maximum bonus points, spot where the CCTV camera was before I edited it out of the picture.
