Ups and downs

Went shopping in Ely this morning. It's a pretty city, dominated by the Cathedral that has its origins in the Ninth Century. I'm not sure that many residents even notice it, to be honest, as they're too busy trying to kill each other on the roads. I survived several 'incidents' caused by impatience...

All on my own

I've been on my own at home for nearly four hours now! It's been a productive afternoon. I've been working on my new business website, which will be very simple but give me a presence on the web - especially if I'm to be a content consultant. Thanks to all of you for your kind comments on By Jove!... Sign in to see full entry.

Tea and tiredness

Yesterday was a very long day. I travelled to the client office in London so it was an early start. I actually got up even earlier as a bad frost had been predicted. So, at 5.15 am I was delighted to see that there was barely any ice on the car windscreen at all! You know what would have happened if... Sign in to see full entry.

Dancing all the way

We went to the Wymondham dance festival yesterday, not knowing whether Clare would be able to dance or not. Her foot was still quite bruised when she woke up. However, Susan had other children performing as well so we all went as planned. I went on to Norwich for a few hours (it's only 8 miles from... Sign in to see full entry.

Friday on my mind

I used to live for Fridays because it meant the week was almost over and the weekend beckoned. I know that sounds really sad but, honestly, I began to crave Friday from about 5.20 am on a Monday. The reason was purely having to travel and spend so much time with people I neither liked nor respected.... Sign in to see full entry.

Better day

Thanks for all your comments. I felt much better today - even from the point when I woke up to bright sunshine. It's amazing how much of an effect the light has isn't it? Actually we had quite a disturbed night. There was a loud bang in the village at about 4.30 am. The lights then kept flashing on... Sign in to see full entry.

Learning as I walk

I've had a busy couple of days. I was at a prospect meeting in London yesterday morning and then in the client office all day. Today has been spent on client work and learning the new features of some web software I've been using. I've had a headache all day and felt sick all morning so haven't... Sign in to see full entry.

Hard work and happiness

It felt great to be alive today! Yesterday was another hectic day of meetings in London. I had to demonstrate a client website we've been building to agency folk who are planners and strategists - so, the real brains behind many campaigns. The clients' site is simple but visually compelling, yet I... Sign in to see full entry.

Early daze

It was really cold when I got up this morning. I only need to travel to London about three or four times a month now and had forgotten that it is still January outside! I usually take a cup of tea out to the car with me and sip it while waiting for the fan to melt the ice on the windscreen. Even... Sign in to see full entry.

Screen test

Today has been a really busy day and I've been looking at the PC screen for most of it. I am juggling two clients and two deadlines - one for tomorrow morning and the other for Wednesday evening. I think it will be ok but there's still a lot to do. On top of that there were quite a few loose ends to... Sign in to see full entry.
