Hot but cool

I've been working from home today which has been warm but not nearly as warm as negotiating car, train and tube journeys in London. I actually had a good night's sleep last night - despite the heat and cockeral that thinks morning starts at 3.15am. So, refreshed and with a clearer head today has... Sign in to see full entry.

Meetings

Am having a week of endless meetings this week but this is balanced by me being able to work from home on Thursday and Friday. When I'm at home I sometimes feel as though I should be in the office taking part in meetings so either state is slightly unsatisfactory! Feeling a bit anxious today for no...

Dull but not cloudy

It's a bit dull in the office today but less cloudy. I know that makes little sense in meterological terms but things do feel a bit lighter with the day job, even though there are often days when I do wonder what the point of it all is. I suppose, after a lovely weekend like the one just gone, I do... Sign in to see full entry.

A different drum but the same glorious beat

I walked down into the village this morning to collect the Sunday newspapers then spent a lazy couple of hours with susan, the radio, coffee, comment and crosswords. It's a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning and we both look forward to it every weekend. This afternoon we biked to nearby Reach on... Sign in to see full entry.

A beautiful day in Cambridgeshire

OK actually it rained a little bit but was mostly dry and sunny and certainly warm today. Susan and I headed off to the cottage to bring back the washing from last week's holiday tenants and pick up some gear for the motorhome. We were due to pick our new bikes up and needed the rear bike holder on... Sign in to see full entry.

Cast pearls among swine

We have an outbreak of swine flu in the village which I wrote about earlier in my Fen Creative blog. all of the children's activities have either been cancelled or postponed as they are worried about gatherings of children - however small. So, we're now waiting to see if the church fete is cancelled... Sign in to see full entry.

Medical

I had my annual medical today at the BUPA Wellness Centre which is part of Cambridge Lea Hospital at Impington - just a few miles along the A14 from where we live. I left early as the traffic was really bad when I went there last year and I had arrived late and even more stressed than usual. Today,... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy day

Another frantic day this morning on the day job but I'm also trying to incorporate some of my own blogging and social networking into my 'working days.' It's a bit like taking a coffee break, only working on Fen Creative instead. You can catch up with any of my non-Blogit posts at: Fencreative We're... Sign in to see full entry.

Positive so far

I'm in the London office and having a positive day so far. It's sunny here and not sure if the weekend sunshine has rubbed off on some of my colleagues but people seem a bit more relaxed and mellow. Or is this the lull...? Lots to do but it somehow doesn't matter that much. I will always have too... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunday in the garden

We had a very busy day on Friday and then again yesterday. Although Friday was a holiday day we went to look at a new property we're interested in buying, then on to the bank to see if they'd lend us the money. We'd arranged to meet an architect at the property. When he got out of his jeep he... Sign in to see full entry.
