3BTs – Music, Sunshine, Hard Work

1. Getting out of bed listening to my favourite play list- provides a spring to my step.
2. Even though I’m still suffering the effects of coming from 32 degress down to about 6…it’s lovely to see the bright sunshine.
3. I decided to get in the garden and dig those borders I’ve been talking about for a [...]

Trucks

OK, so I’ve just returned from a great holiday in Texas – the home of everything BIG…and I need to rant…(you knew I’d have to have just one little rant about something ).
So, here in the UK we spend a lot of time and energy complaining about the taxes imposed on us car drivers. [...]

Post holiday jet-leg…

That’s it, the holiday is over…boo hoo. A fantastic time was had – now it’s jet lag, colder days and lots of redundancies at work, it seems. I heard through my US counterpart on the second day of the break that she and a whole bunch of others had been let go…not the best start [...]

2. Making lists of things to take with me on holiday and things to do before I go…cat sitters, light timers, cancel the veg man, put out the bins etc.
3. Counting down to [...]

Burning bridges

There’s always a lot of talk about people burning bridges. Today I’ve had my eyes opened to this in quite a big way. I’ve heard through a long-lost contact about a previous employer and some of the things that have been done since we left a former company. It’s amazing that people burn bridges in [...]

Pending…

It’s been a while since I last wrote on here – life just got busy. If it’s not something to do with work, then it’s running or getting away from work to have some fun.
Running is going well, although I finally took AJ’s advice and went to see the asthma clinic about the wheezing. It’s [...]
