Until I came to cambridge I was completely from worcester[1], but for the moment I'm thinking of cambridge as home. Not the current house, despite my initial hopes, but the network of friends.
However, mum was born in Yorkshire, though partially raised in Lancashire, which seems much more 'sticky' than any of my other blood, so I tend to think of my original *enotype as 'northern' since worcs isn't really anywhere we have a tie to other than having lived in.
Also: how long is it going to take me to finish the mind-numbingly boring spreadsheet I am fiddling with?
Never. You're going to mark time making minor improvements until something more urgent comes along, and then relegate this to "soon" and then "good enough" and then "finished"[2] and neither you nor anyone else will bother to confirm it because it's too boring. Do you have any other dreams I can crush?[3]
[1] "As in the civil war" is how I'd like to put it, but "As in the sauce" produces several thousand percent[4] more "Ah!"s.
