Day 216 – 15 December 2014 I know it’s getting close to year end yet all the big projects are showing their faces this week. Digital Durham is there of course and my first meeting was to present a progress update to the Economy and Enterprise Overview and Scrutiny Committee. This is another meeting that … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 216
A year of work in progress – day 215
Day 215 – 12 December 2014 Number nine on my list of ten things to achieve this year was to finish my book. Well technically this one is in the bag. I’ve finished it but haven’t published it. I keep meaning to read it through and am thinking of publishing it for the Kindle. I … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 215
A year of work in progress – day 214
Day 214 – 11 December 2014 Assuming that I am not struck down by pestilence or God’s will then there are ten days left of this blog. You may recall that I set out to achieve the same number of things this year and so it felt like a good idea to finish off with … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 214
A year of work in progress – day 213
Day 213 – 10 December 2014 Despite the weather bomb the 4:45 pulled away on time from Newcastle Central Station. Leaving home at such an ungodly hour reminded me of the years that I worked in Cambridge when I would regularly leave at such time in the morning. All that was on the road were … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 213
A year of work in progress – day 210
Day 210 – 5 December 2014 Some months ago, when it was warm, Tony and I agreed to help Alli and Ashley to do some leaflet drops (Tony then claimed to know nothing about it!). It was all to improve the Digital Durham take up. Today it was very cold and it didn’t seem such … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 210
A year of work in progress – day 209
Day 209 – 4 December 2014 There is a bridge in Paris across the Seine to which lovers have attached thousands upon thousands of padlocks as tokens of their undying love for each other. They write their names on the padlock and toss the keys into the water below. The bridge is called the Pont … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 209
A year of work in progress – day 203
Day 203 – 26 November 2014 If you want a coffee in Morpeth there are plenty of places to choose from. Tea is also available. If you want to do business at the same time however there are really only two choices. There is Costa on Bridge Street and Central Bean in the Sanderson Arcade. … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 203
A year of work in progress – day 201
Day 201 – 24 November 2014 Recognition at last. I’ve joined the ranks of the most influential people in the North East according to the Journal. OK, I was on page fifty five of a sixty six page pull out and I was only in it because I Tweet a lot but it’s a start. … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 201
A year of work in progress – day 199
Day 199 – 20 November 2014 I’d never been to Abbey Leisure Centre. I’ve driven past it many times on my way through Pity Me but never needed to stop. Anyone who knows me (or has seen me) will know that leisure centres are not really my thing – too much sweat and Jeyes Fluid. … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 199
A year of work in progress – day 198
Day 198 – 19 November 2014 Last night’s Dynamo board was really interesting. The drive there wasn’t. Getting across the Tyne these days is a nightmare. South to North or North to South, it makes no difference. All the roads have been dug up. Getting from Tanfield across Newcastle to get to Hoult’s Yard by … Continue reading A year of work in progress – day 198
