Has anyone in any of those nicely warm places got a spot of on-site consultancy that would last a few weeks about 2 months from now, that would be just right for my skill set (whatever that is) and that pays really really well ? :-). That should be just about the coldest wettest most miserable time of the year here. Or to misquote "Oh to be in England / China / Asia / anywhere warm, now that summers there ..." (Truth be told, it's not overly terrible here at the worst of times, but ..= ..)
