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 60 – Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time
A flyer offering a master class in ‘Eliminating Silo Mentality’ had to be of interest. Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time. It’s a perennial problem and probably a fundamental part of human nature. People like to be part of a group and the easiest way of being part of something … Continue reading Unfolding plans 60 – Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time
Human Zoo
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
Writing
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
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
Oh to be famous
Day fifteen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. It seems that being famous is not the domain of the right handed. There are plenty of lefties out there who have gone on to do great things, so many in fact that there is a day set aside each year to celebrate their success. August 13 … Continue reading Oh to be famous
Not just your hand
Day fourteen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’ve passed the half-way mark. This means two things, firstly I’ve broken the back of the challenge and, secondly it is going to get harder and harder to find something interesting to say. All of the easy stuff has already been done and I’m going to … Continue reading Not just your hand
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. I thought my tie was bad enough but I’m starting to master that yet laces are in their own league. There’s a problem in that recently I’ve learnt that … Continue reading Laces
Unfolding plans 52 – you must come and talk to us about
I was stopped in the lift by one of my colleagues. She said ‘you must come and talk to us about…’ At this point I braced myself ready for whatever problem was at the root of her statement. I guess it’s a hazard of my profession in that most people stop me when something goes … Continue reading Unfolding plans 52 – you must come and talk to us about
Unfolding Plans 51 – not the best time for a photo shoot
Perhaps this morning wasn’t the best of times for a photo shoot. By nine thirty when we had all gathered to have our pictures taken the moon had made its way across the sun. Our two greatest celestial bodies had combined to turn day back into night. I know that the eclipse, however partial, had … Continue reading Unfolding Plans 51 – not the best time for a photo shoot
