I followed up a run of 5 consecutive gig-nights the previous week (and thus, 5 consecutive doses of late-to-bed-and-early-to-rise), and a weekend that included openings for a couple of friends' art exhibitions, dinner with one of the gallery owners and assorted hangers-on, a documentary film premiere, a leaving party for some friends, and a farewell dinner for a favourite former-Beijinger who was just passing through again for the week, with.....
Spending two full days in the recording studio.
Suffering a more than usually stressy week (well, three days that seemed like six) in the job job.
Attending three evening speaker meetings.
Wrestling (unmanfully...) with a bout of gastric 'flu.
Hooking up briefly with best friend 'The Chairman', to meet his sister and other friends visiting for a few days.
Trying (and failing, but at least trying) to hook up with gal pals Dishy Debs and Sexy Sarah and their coven.
Hooking up with a friend up from Shanghai for a few days.
Hooking up with FG for dinner (and bar crawl).
Finishing a novel (in one week - remarkable for such a slow reader as myself!).
Extensive text-messaging to try and arrange something for the dratted birthday this weekend.
Phew..... such is the crazy pace of life as we live it here in Beijing.
The weekend is now here again, and all I want to do is sleep.

Ah froog, you do manage to fit about a month's worth of activities into 7 days, don't you.
Yes, it often seems like it.
Last week was two months' worth, I think.
