Continue readingToday has been cold, cold and grey. And I’ve found it hard to settle today. I discovered that the other job I enquired about with Inspired Selection is actually the very same 6 month contract that I had an interview…

Continue readingIt’s been nice this, un-planned full-week off, and I definitely picked a good week for it with the weather. Daily walks on the forest with the dog, and afternoons sitting about in the garden, or be it a ragbag selection…
Continue reading1. Settled my stair carpet bill in town. 2. Thankfully Jessops didn’t have the Fuji Z3 in stock, so I couldn’t be tempted to spend money that I haven’t got in cheering myself with a new toy after the last…
Continue readingSo, Spring is on it’s way. Another gloriously sunny day, and a morning with early morning light over flooded fields down the Otmoor valley. The day did deteriate though. Vania, my colleague had to rush off home in tears to…

Continue reading1. Today was the second day of my Introduction to Project Management course. The journey into London was more straight forward than yesterday with all the tubes running, and actually, I ended up being the second to arrive. They’ve been…
