Has anyone been busy doing anything and if so what?

I have been very busy blackberrying, as predicted. What has anyone else been very busy doing? It is quite different from all my underwated activities as a younger terrapin. For a start, blackberries only seem to grow above the water, from what I can see. Discounting the Underwater Blackberries of Doom, obviously. No-one in their right mind would try and pick any of THOSE. (my friend Ced had one once and fell into some awfully bad luck.)

TOP TRUMP

now that it is autumn i am thinking of either joining the race for the whitehouse (america) or taking on one of the football clubs that have lost their manager recently and need a new one. I would have a bit of catching up to do with the whitehouse option but i wouldn't mind that as long as i won it, or came at least second. With the football one i might need someone to help me with the actual football, if anyone would like to, but i know a lot about the psychology of management and half-time analysis and i know the names of all the clubs and wags, so i should think i am more or less the top trump as far as the auditions for a new manager would go. The only thing is, i went blackberrying at the weekend and it looks like i could well be spending quite a lot of my time doing that over the autumn, for certain complicated reasons, which i would have to make sure didn't cut into my football manager/presidential candidate duties, but i shouldn't think it would, not too much.
Has anyone reading this ever divided their time between blackberrying and other similar high-pressure activities and might have some tips?
