Did a week really get between us?

We've had a busy week with dance rehearsals, consultancy proposals and lots of meetings but I really cannot believe it's been six days since I posted! As winter resists spring's temptations to break free, so there has been some resistance in letting go of those old feelings of employee oppression... Sign in to see full entry.

Quieter today

We had a very relaxing morning today. I have to say I felt comatose when Susan made tea first thing and it took some time to wake up properly. You know how it feels when you've been in a really deep sleep. Sometimes you feel completely refeshed as a result but on other days you never really wake up?... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Saturday

From the moment I made tea for Susan at about 8.15 this morning it's been really busy here. We had a man from one of the big double glazing companies come to the house to look at the window in Christian's room as it gets a lot of condensation. Our expectations weren't high - especially when he... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a quick entry

I've been on the screen all day apart from a quick trip to the butchers for sausages and to put the rubbish and recycling out at the end of the drive. Nobody else seems to have put their refuse out so I'm wondering if I've got the wrong day again... I've been working across four fifferent clients... Sign in to see full entry.

Is it really Friday again?

When I was a full-time employee Fridays seemed to crawl towards me. Now they have obviously hit the fast line and just speed past. I really cannot believe it is Friday again already. Had some good prospect meetings this week and have been issuing contracts so all is good but things are so hectic... Sign in to see full entry.

burweb is born

Hello everyone Firstly, many thanks for all your kind comments on my last post. Susan did indeed enjoy the flowers and cried when she read the poem...happy days! I do love writing poetry and will share more here. The issue I have is that there are so many fabulous poems posted here each day. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Valentine's Day

Susan and I don't really do Valentine's Day. When we first met we diid. We exchanged funny cards and even funnier knickers... I don't think it's a case of love waning over the years and us not taking the opportunity to celebrate it on this day. It's more a case that I love her even more each day and...
