Day twenty six of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. I’ve made it to the end. I’ve managed to write over thirteen thousand words on a subject I knew very little about until now and made some new friends along the way. So what have I grasped (pun definitely intended)? Firstly that being handed is not … Continue reading Human Zoo

Day twenty three of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. Oh dear. I’ve tried to write with my left hand. I have ended up with the hand-writing of a four year old and the vocabulary of a fifty four year old. It is as if I am back in infants’ school, sitting at a too small … Continue reading Writing

Day twenty one of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. I’m now at number 918 in the list of challenge entrants and we’re at the business end of the month.

Day thirteen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. I’ve struggled with many of those gadgets that have been designed to make our lives easier yet I should not have worried.

Laces
Day eleven of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I have picked on one subject that merits its own blog – trying to tie your laces.

Day eleven of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ For me the kitchen is a room of mixed blessings. It is a utilitarian place where food is prepared yet it is the heart of the home. The bedroom, the sitting room and the kitchen are the holy trinity of the house. I must spend ninety per … Continue reading Kitchen

Day eight of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’ve discovered that another member of my team is left handed. Stop the press! I never knew. Tony does everything with his left hand except play the cornet while Paul, the only left hander I thought I had, does everything with his right except write. I … Continue reading Handy

Day six of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’m now at number 1030 on the list of contributors. Some must have fallen by the wayside. It’s nice to be part of the blogging community. I’ve been thinking about those things I have failed to do. Failure is a harsh word. Choosing to try something … Continue reading Failure

Unfolding plans 58 – Not everything is always sweetness and light
Not everything is always sweetness and light. Is it ever? We had our ICT Customer Board meeting last week and had an interesting conversation about culture. Words and phrases such as Camp Tanfield or Camp Meadowfield were raised with the clear implication that we reside within our functions and that visibility of managers and team … Continue reading Unfolding plans 58 – Not everything is always sweetness and light
