Baby steps

Had an interview today.  First one in quite a while (since the Rio job).  Unfortunately didn’t get the contract, but I did read the interview quite well and guessed the reason that I wouldn’t get the job exactly right, so I have something to work on at least. I wasn’t expecting anything to pop-up until the [...]

Good life

My  life seems to revolve around catching up with people and eating at the moment.  Not a bad life really when you come to think about it. I am trying to stave off the calories with the commencement of my walking in the mornings, but I am going to have to try a bit harder [...]

Birthday celebrations

Sun!

Sunburnt already.  That is with sunburn cream and in only 21 degrees.  I am definitely not used to this aussie sun…
