I am the law
Image thanks to HipWallpaper Help me, I’ve fallen through the looking glass and ended up in a world that no longer makes any sense. Up is down, backwards is forwards and everything that used to make sense no longer does. The latest wease by the Prime Minister, to introduce an Internal Market Bill is just … Continue reading I am the law
That’s logistics
My first proper job was in logistics, even if I didn’t realise it at the time. We called it distribution back then, yet on reflection it was there that sparked my interest in having the right product at the right place and at the right time. Even today I maintain the passion, despite having worked … Continue reading That’s logistics

Whilst I have been able to get books delivered straight to my door throughout the … Continue reading Lockdown lifting
Thinking without speech
When I stop and think about something I hear voices in my head, a continuous string of speech that forms arguments about the best way to do something or not. A debate rages in my head and it is as if my mind is trying to convince me which way to go. I don’t know … Continue reading Thinking without speech
Importing health workers
The National Health Service is in crisis, at least that is what we are told every night on our televisions. The number of vacancies has rocketed, with nearly 50,000 nurses short alone and service levels at an all time low. The reasons behind this crisis are many and varied, with underfunding (either deliberate or by … Continue reading Importing health workers

We had started talking about putting on a cyber 101 boot camp way back in the spring yet dates didn’t work for us and the Digital Catapult until the end of November. It has been and … Continue reading Cyber 101 boot camp #1
