Lot of bits

Do you sometimes think that a hole is the sum of the bits? I often find that there are so many bits that instead of fitting together to complete the picture, the end result seems further away than before? I've been trying to tie loose ends up all week and still have endless lists of things to do. I... Sign in to see full entry.

All change here

Firstly, thanks very much for all of your fine comments on Susan's new ballet site. We really appreciate them. Feeback has been good so far and new elements such as the uniform order form are working well which will save Susan a lot of time and a lot of paper! We took Ivan to Guildford - just south...

New ballet school site

Phew! We had a deadline for launching Susan's new site on Tuesday 31st August. Having spent the Bank Holiday weekend on it I was determined we'd make it. I actually have a professional thing about hitting deadlines anyway but this one was special both because it was for Susan and I really believe in... Sign in to see full entry.

Another week...

It's been a really busy week on the work front but things are coming together I think and hopefully will be back to more regular posts. Had prospect meetings in London on Monday and time in the client office but am not travelling this week and taking some time off from my main client so that I can... Sign in to see full entry.

Beach baby

Susan, Claire and I headed off to the beach today. We went up to Hunstanton on the North Norfolk coast. We had thunderstorms last night and a good deal of heavy rain but it cleared the atmosphere so that we woke this morning feeling fresher than for days. Susan and I had a long chat about her site...

Still working

But it's under control. The new ballet site is coming together well. Susan has been managing the site and its content since 1996 - it was the first such site in our area - and though she can see how much it will be improved, she is finding it hard to accept that her offering wasn't good enough.

Photographic assignment

I've always loved photography and had various cameras over the years. I'm not very good but I'd like to get better and learn more about different techniques available to me - an aim going forward. Today I spent some time taking staged and impromptu shots of some of Susan's ballet pupils. I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Leeds United draw but it felt like a win

I had one of those Sunday mornings today that reminded me very much of the student days Ivan is about to embark on and, I'm sure, enjoy. I tumbled out of bed and went out for the Sunday paper, read all of the football reviews over strong coffee and then watched Leeds United - my favourite team -... Sign in to see full entry.

Saturdays

Susan had a great time on the TV show and met a lot of interesting people including celebrities such as 'The Satudays' a girl group that our boys are deeply envious about. Christian still hasn't forgiven Ivan for meeting Pixie Lott when he did the Britain's Got Talent show. Now, if it had been Mary... Sign in to see full entry.

Screen tests

It's been a really busy couple of days. My old Manager at the old workplace is on holiday so I'm covering for him for ten days. It's good to be back in the thick of enquiries and problems to be solved but it's also brought up departmental rivalries as per my previous post. I'm just focusing on what...
