Working but relaxing too

I've had a long but productive day online today across a range of clients, offering different challenges - seems I'm in London again three times next week! Oh well... Last night I logged off, prepared Ivan's tea and then sat and listened to the radio while reading a music magazine (Uncut - it's... Sign in to see full entry.

Online PR

One of the Directors of the company I used to work for but now consult for has asked me to manage her online PR and this has kept me really busy over the last couple of days. To be honest I didn't use to like her very much. I found her cold and emotionally unintelligent. She was also all over the... Sign in to see full entry.

Raining

Susan and I spent the day cleaning the house from top to bottom yesterday. We usually get to it every two or three weeks but this was a month's worth of grime as we've been so busy lately. Claire cleaned her room and helped with the dusting which was great. We needed to sort Ivan's room out as well... Sign in to see full entry.

Lots of bubbles

I've been working on various projects in the last couple of days. I like to have things bubbling away on the back burner and worry if the hob is clear! All seems to be good and the days have been quite productive. I've also been experiencing bubbling of a different kind. I've hd a sort of tenderness... Sign in to see full entry.

We've had a problem with our Sky TV box

We bought a new Sky HD box a few weeks ago and slotted it into the network around the house and all was great. It's nice because the children can watch television from their rooms and change channels there if they want to (mind you we normally always end up watching television together in the main...

Screen shot

My eyes are shot after looking at the screen all day. Do you have days when you concentrate so hard and fr so long that when you do eventually get up from the desk your eyes just need that extra time to re-focus? I do try to take as many 'natural' breaks during the day but working from home makes... Sign in to see full entry.

Creative

Firstly, many thanks for all of your supportive comments. Because I am so sensitive I try not to be too judgmental as have been on the wrong end of that feeling plenty of times. Our host on Saturday responded to my thank you note to say they'd thoroughly enjoyed it so that's the main thing!!... Sign in to see full entry.

Old friends and new experiences

For Claire's birthday last year we bought her an 'unforgettable experience.' You know the kind of thing where you get to do something you've always wanted to do? Christian had one for Christmas and drove a Ferrari earlier in the summer. Claire's was to go on a balloon trip! Susan took her down very... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to the novel

All appears to be going OK with the consulting work so now I'm thinking about my novel again. I'm up to chapter 9 (of 20) so it isn't as though it isn't happening at all but it often feels like that. I go to acupuncture quite often and my therapist is keen to treat all mental and physical problems... Sign in to see full entry.

A planning day

I think I could rather grandly call today a planning day. What that really means, of course, is that I haven't really been able to concentrate on any one thing for very long. I know I'm bored with my main client, though it is considerably better dealing with them as a consultant rather than an... Sign in to see full entry.
