Could it be true?

Sounds like a song title doesn't it - especially in view of Valentine's Day tomorrow. Our lives have been hectic since the ballet show weekend. As promised you can click on this review and, generally, it seems to have been well received with lots of great feedback. I'm really happy for Susan as she... Sign in to see full entry.

Is it really a week?

I genuinely can't believe it's a week since I last posted. I'm really sorry about this but was frankly astonished when I logged in just now! It's actually been a really busy time with client work last week but also some quality (hopefully!) novel writing time. Susan's mother and her friend came down... Sign in to see full entry.

Only two weeks to go

until that football match in Leeds against Coventry. Everyone is very excited about it and the team drew yesterday so the week ended well. We watched some programmes we'd recorded on the Sky Planner last night including a family drama series - 'New Tricks' - and a comedy programme called 'Not Going... Sign in to see full entry.

All good

Well the football didn't go as planned on Wednesday evening! Leeds played well and got a fantastic goal but Arsenal played better and got three! To be honest, as I said before, the league games are much more important and we're away to Portsmouth today. Our players will no doubt be tired but... Sign in to see full entry.

Out and about

I was at a supplier's offices in Nottingham yesterday and have to go to the client office in London tomorrow. In between times I'm doing my usual taxi service for the children between various schools and after-school activities. I always enjoy my railway journeys to Nottingham as it takes me past my...

Catching up

Sorry not to have been around for a bit! Client meetings went well last week. We had the annual 'President's Reception' on Thursday which was full of the great and the good and the old...and me! It was strange to be there as a consultant, belonging and yet not quite belonging as I did when an... Sign in to see full entry.

Indexing

I've been indexing client content on the web today. Because I helped to build the site, I understand implicitly the structure of the content so it's a role I can do fairly easily, making sure the right content comes up in search results etc. I can also do it with the radio on! Having said that, it... Sign in to see full entry.

Back home

Susan has spent the weekend in Edinburgh, returning home this morning. She went up for a 'girls' weekend' with some old friends and had a great time, including a late-night ghost walking tour (didn't know ghosts walked!). Though the trip started badly with her flight cancelled because of snow in the... Sign in to see full entry.

A bit weary this morning

I was in one of those really deep sleeps - you know, the ones where it's like swimming through treacle to escape the warm, snuggly depths? Claire was a bit out of sorts yesterday - I think the first day back at school flattened her a bit; Christian, on the other hand, came home full of fun after two... Sign in to see full entry.
