Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Once again I was down in London the other day and had the pleasure of going through Kings Cross Station. Now I like the station and love what the architects have done with the front portico and waiting areas. It’s no St Pancras yet it is still … Continue reading Unfolding plans 67 – She was there to give a message
Unfolding plan 66 – the lone oddball
I must admit to suffering from the odd pang of... well I’m not sure what it is. I’ve been working for a while now on trying to change the way that the people work. It is over a year since I gave up my office, threw out my desk and became a nomadic worker. I’ve … Continue reading Unfolding plan 66 – the lone oddball
Unfolding plans 64 – The purpose of my visit was not architectural
I’ve already told you how I made my way over the hills and down into the dales on my way to Forest in Teesdale. The other place that I visited during April that I had never been to before was the National Savings and Investment building. For anyone who has ever been to Durham it … Continue reading Unfolding plans 64 – The purpose of my visit was not architectural
Unfolding plans 63 – I have to show you this
I was walking along floor two, on my way to a meeting with HR when someone barked my name. Three times they shouted ‘Phil – Phil – Phil’. At first I thought they were shouting for a dog but realised eventually they wanted to attract my attention. There may be easier ways of getting hold … Continue reading Unfolding plans 63 – I have to show you this
Unfolding plans 62 – Stuffocation
Before you start, I didn’t buy ‘Stuffocation – Living more with less’ by James Wallman. I borrowed it from my youngest daughter when I was last visiting her flat. She always has some interesting books to grab as if I don’t have enough to read already. We share similar tastes in reading material, a little … Continue reading Unfolding plans 62 – Stuffocation
Unfolding plans 59 – I’ve been on a blogcation
I’ve been on a blogcation. I set aside my normal blogging activities and went on a small adventure during April. The A-Z challenge was to try and write a piece every day through Monday to Saturday during the month. The catch was that the first had to start with a subject that began with A, … Continue reading Unfolding plans 59 – I’ve been on a blogcation
Generation Y
Day twenty five of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. Being left-handed has been a problem throughout the ages. Perhaps a mild irritation would be a better description or even a slight inconvenience. Either way I have been thinking about whether or not handedness will become a bigger or smaller problem in the future. The answer … Continue reading Generation Y
Unable
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. The last six letters of the alphabet are the hardest. Words beginning with U to Z noticeably thin out in the dictionary. Today though I’m going … Continue reading Unable
Toothbrush
Day twenty of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. If there is one area within the house that was going to cause me problems it has to be the bathroom. My whole toilet has been a left-handed learning curve. Let’s start with the obvious. I’m not cack-handed. I’ve tried but never will be. I’ll keep trying … Continue reading Toothbrush
Scissors
Day nineteen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’m struggling with scissors. They warrant a blog piece of their own. I’ve been on this earth more than half a century yet dread when the time comes to cut my fingernails. They grow at an imperceptibly slow pace, the same rate apparently as the spreading … Continue reading Scissors
