‘Why aren’t you getting ready?’ my husband asked. ‘Because I have plenty of time,’ I explained. ‘I am doing a course today and it is only 15 minutes down the road. I have loads of time. Look it is 7.15 am and the course does not start until 8.30 am.’ My husband said nothing. I […]
I did not post yesterday. I had a rubbish Friday (so bad I was going to write a post called Blue Day – I may still) and then ended up writing a much longer post than I had intended on Friday night when I got home. It was trying to do it in bed so […]
I was down at the park yesterday and standing in a group with other dog walkers. There were my two, Lucy and Archie, there was a mad caramel coloured poodle called Saba, whose mission in life seems to be to exhaust herself by running in enormous circles around her owner and occasionally pick up a […]
The last ninety minutes have been a bit hectic, to be honest. I had been down at the park where a toddler had decided she liked my moves as I aimed to amuse her with some exaggerted dancing. She is at the age where she has discovered the joy of being flung around in a […]
Driving to work the other day, I was waiting at a traffic light intersection for the lights to turn green. To my left behind the kerb were a number of mature trees that formed the border of a university campus, one of which looked to have lost its bark completely from its trunk, leaving only […]
Boy, the mornings sure are tough around here lately. The weather has been weird, really weird. I can not remember such a cool summer. I can not remember ever having seen rain in summer, let alone repeatedly. I have never in summer got under a duvet and shut the window at 3 am because the […]
The unit I am currently studying is all about managing oneself and others. I guess its principal aim is to encourage me to evaluate my management style and become more self- aware so I can conduct my business and interactions with others more effectively. We had an online meeting tonight as the first assignment is […]
Yesterday had been a distraction. I had been tired and also supplied unexpectedly with a number of movies I wanted to watch. These were movies that are not strictly available yet, but ones that I will end up buying anyway so I felt bad, but not bad enough to say no. I went to bed […]
It has been hard to adjust going back to work. I had a good few weeks off over Xmas, went back to work and came up against a long weekend, got through that and then a week after I started to hit a rhythm again, but then took a week’s holiday so my husband could […]
I was listening to an interview the other day with a historian who referenced the imprisonment of Marie Antoinette. She explained that nobody knew what happened to the infamous aristocrat while she was in jail ahead of her ultimate execution. There was for the most part, no record of how she was coping, how she […]
