Hanging in there

Good morning everyone from a blustery Cambridgeshire. Last night was one of those hot, sticky nights that really cried out for a refreshing storm. I kept waking up to the swishing sounds of the curtains, driven by a mounting breeze outside - but the breeze ran out of puff and the storm never came.... Sign in to see full entry.

Fish

We had a training session at work this morning which was really good. It isn't often that I'd be able to write a sentence like this and believe in it without ambiguity. It is based on a best-selling series of books which I'm sure many of you will have heard about. Based on the Seattle fish market it... Sign in to see full entry.

Still happy

Continuing with my new-found 'happy and healthy' focus, we had a wonderful weekend. We went up to a place called Horsey Gap on the North Norfolk coast where the sun shone all day. We took our motorhome and had bacon sandwiches and mugs of steaming tea by the sea. As there were five of us it felt... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy and Healthy

I had one of those moments of truth driving home from Cambridge last night. As you know I've been worried about my life at work and then about my life slipping away while I endure it. I have always looked ahead or behind but rarely at the hear and now. This has been the case ever since I was a child... Sign in to see full entry.

Pointless

It doesn't help that it's Monday and that the sun is shining outside and our eldest son, Ivan, is home from school, but I seem to have a morning of completely pointless meetings. It's so hard to get motivated at the moment. I'd really like to just throw myself into other creative projects but I... Sign in to see full entry.

Training

I'm on a training course at the moment - PhotoShop CS3 - which is showing me how I can manipulate digital images. The course has been paid for by work and is going to be very useful. It's main use will not be in the 'work' that I am currently paid to do but in the work I plan to do in the future. I... Sign in to see full entry.

The Holiday is over

I've had such a lovely week away from work that the last day has really been a coming to terms with the fact that I have to go back to work tomorrow. It's depressing in a way even I couldn't have expected. I say that because I'd been experiencing anxiety attacks for a while and I thought putting a... Sign in to see full entry.

Seaside

I am having a week's holiday and am enjoying just not thinking about work. On Monday I went up to my favourite part of the Norfolk coast, near to a place called Happisburgh which is gradually falling into the sea. I will talk more about this in another post as it has had a profound effect on me... Sign in to see full entry.

Family fun

We've had a lovely weekend so far. Yesterday we got a call from Ivan, who has now turned sixteen, that he was going to be on the 9.15 from King's Cross. after a frantic tea-making session and bath we picked him up in Ely and then waited with him for an hour and a half while he queued to have his...

Logging off

Because of the web build I've been writing about, I haven't really had a proper break for over a year. I know I'm not alone and others don't get the opportunities for holidays or even weekends either. I also know that many people work a number of jobs to make ends meet. However, my only real break...
