Summer – Better late than never

Posted at 5:25 pm, Saturday October 1, 2011 by rich

You’d never guess it was the start of October today as summer has finally made an appearance.

We celebrated by having a BBQ last night, eating and drinking in the garden until we couldn’t see any longer.

This afternoon was spent geo-caching up by the Uni, followed by a quick wander round town shopping in glorious sunshine, and it’s about to be finished off with another BBQ.

Tomorrow we head up to Old Warden for the last Shuttleworth Collection airshow of the year, hopefully in yet more glorious sunshine.

Please note the following article which appeared in today’s inTheWeek;

Management development opportunities
The following courses are available:

Introduction to People Management

Minimising employee contribution and effectiveness

Recruiting the best staff

Crucial conversations.

Please book on ESR through self-service or the contact the Education Centre on xxxxx.

Should have read maximising employee contribution and effectiveness.

I think the original was more accurate.

Lazy days and Sundays

Posted at 9:34 pm, Sunday August 14, 2011 by rich

A fairly lazy weekend has just passed. I did very little on Saturday other than watch Alice in Wonderland and Hobo with a Shotgun. Today was spent buying and fitting some Thule roof bars and a bike carrier, then finished off with a fast 45-minute ride on the Firebird out to Bitton and back.

Only two more weeks at work before a week off. I can’t wait.
