End of an EraI've just entered the last hour of a job that I've been at for 7 years. What started out as a 6 week contract turned into a 6 month contract, then a year, then two years, then a full time job. To cut a long story short,…
- Having nothing to write about
One of the common comments regarding my blogging proliferation is "Oh, I'd have nothing to write, I don't do enough to have anything to write about." Usually, when someone brings up the subject of blogging, it means…
Meteorite or meteorwrong?Occasionally, our house regurgitates something that one of us have found and brought home. Yesterday, it unearthed this object that my wife found whilst we were 'out and about' once. We can't remember where she found it…

Quite a significant thing has just happened at work. I've processed the last 'new, assigned to my department' brief that I'm ever likely to process for my current employer. For the last few years, I've been a manager of…
A Midsummer Night's DreamLast Wednesday evening, I had a thought. I was stood in the magical grounds of St. Dogmaels Abbey (which I waxed lyrical about a few days ago in [[1-Projects/DragonDrop-Adventures/posts/2013/2013-08-01-abbey-watch|this…
