Still busy....well no!

I was sitting in a training room yesterday morning wondering where everyone was. At 9.30 I went to see the client account manager who was on his second day back in the office after holiday. He left a message with the client to find out when we were to expect her trainees. At 10.00 she returned his call to say that the training course had been postponed and didn't we know.
So all of a sudden I had 2 days free so I put the work I was going to do on Saturday and Monday into the now-free time yesterday. That left today so I decided to complete a piece of work I have left off for a while and then I decided to take the rest of the day off. You can not believe how good that feels apart from a sneaking sense of guilt that I am not doing anything! I expect I will survive.

Busy again

I had intended to write something every week but time has rushed on with the start of the Guiding year as well being extremely busy at work - 6 days a week instead of the 4 I am paid for.
Anyway here are some of the things I have done this month:
  1. Been at the opening of Guild Wood at Herons Wey
  2. Climbed the playframe at Weyside together with several ladies in their 60s who are still yong enough to want to try.
  3. Run a Japanese evening at Guides
  4. Bought a new Guiding sweatshirt
  5. Discussed with the Exec how to focus on volunteers next year. One Division suggested calling it "Year of the Leader"
  6. Taken daughter to Manchester University
  7. Picked sloes for sloe gin (for my husband you understand!)

More about Year of the Leader later.....

Welcome back!

I hope you did get a break over Summer. I did and it gave me some time to actually think about my unit and meeting plans. Now it is back to Guiding - a little refreshed.
