Day 30

Posted on November 30, 2007 by jenny

Hooray, I nearly made it, blogging every day throughout November. There were a couple of times when I just couldn’t get to the laptop or I just couldn’t think of anything to write. Tonight we are on the Isle of Wight having survived a pretty turbulent trip over the Solent. I managed to complete my…

Day 27

Posted on November 27, 2007 by jenny

I am so glad it’s almost the end of November. Blogging every day is hard! I spent this evening making Christmas cards and wrapping presents. We’re off to the Isle of Wight this weekend and swapping Christmas presents so I’ve been super organised this year. There’s a big pile of presents ready to go. I…

No posting yesterday as we didn’t get back from the Amy Winehouse gig at Brixton until after midnight.She was absolutely brilliant, and only 45 minutes late. Today we have been searching all over London for a replacement fret for our fireplace. No-one was willing to see us the bit we wanted so it looks like…

Day 22

Posted on November 22, 2007 by jenny

I was on yet another course today (why do they always seem to be on Thursdays?) and had an early start as I needed to submit some work before I went. So I have spent the evening relaxing, catching up on my google reader and doing not much. I came across this great meme here….

Day 21

Posted on November 21, 2007February 19, 2011 by jenny

I attended a really demoralising team away day today. To cheer myself up I had lunch looking across the Thames over to the South Bank. It was a wonderful sunny day, perfect for people watching. The day finished early so I walked through Covent Garden which was decorated for Christmas. I headed over to the…

Day 20
