Today is Shrove Tuesday. Otherwise known, in Britain, as Pancake Day, and in other countries or languages as some variation on Fat Tuesday. The day on which the eggs, milk and butter – all the rich foods – are used up before their banishment for the duration of Lent. Hence the pancakes in Britain. Traditionally,… Continue reading Notes From My Office: March 2022

(Brief) Notes From My (New) Office
It’s been a little while since my office wasn’t being pulled apart or rebuilt, but I am now fully settled in my new office. I’ve even managed to roughly organise all my crafting supplies so I’m not surrounded by boxes of stuff without homes. I have a better view from this office: it looks out… Continue reading (Brief) Notes From My (New) Office
Notes From My Office: May 2021
It’s been a quiet month, work-wise. Especially for the last couple of weeks. Photo by Alena Shekhovtcova on Pexels.com On the other hand, that did enable me to get further along with the map-project, even with having to redo a large portion of stitches. And now I’ve had the first dose of my Covid vaccination.… Continue reading Notes From My Office: May 2021
Notes From My Office: April 2021
Sometimes, I build up a backlog of Archers Omnibuses (Omnibii?), and then I settle into my office (in its guise as my craft room) and spend an afternoon catching up while I craft. It’s easier, I find, than remembering to retune the radio from 3 to 4 every evening at 7pm (or tuning in on… Continue reading Notes From My Office: April 2021
Notes From My Office: March 2021
Ah, the beginning of British Summer Time. Clocks went forward yesterday, though it doesn’t feel very summery yet. Still blowing a gale. Photo by Thirdman on Pexels.com It doesn’t feel like we’ve got through nearly three months of 2021. To be fair, though, since the beginning of the first lockdown this time last year, time… Continue reading Notes From My Office: March 2021
Notes From My Office: February 2021
It seems a bit odd to think that I’m only a couple of weeks short of spending a full year working from home. I’ve read lots about how people have been reprioritising their lives over the last year, since the first lockdown gave them room to breathe and think. Finding some way to rebalance a… Continue reading Notes From My Office: February 2021
Notes From My Office: January 2021
I had thought to be back in the swing of work by this time, even if it was still from home. Full, busy days. Such, though, is not to be at this time, and probably not for several months yet, at least. Alas, alack. So upsetting, that I have half days here, two hours there,… Continue reading Notes From My Office: January 2021
Notes From My Office: November’s Words
I’ve been getting better at crafting around the computer. Or do I mean working around the crafting supplies? Perhaps that. I’m trying to remember to tidy up as I go along, or as soon after I’m done with the crafting as possible. But I don’t always. And then I have to work around the paper… Continue reading Notes From My Office: November’s Words
Notes From My Office: October’s Words
At the end of last month, we thought we’d be returned to the Office by now. Now, of course, that plan has changed, and we’re still at home, and likely to be for a while. We’ve stopped trying to guess when we might return. I decided not to wait until the work-computer has gone before… Continue reading Notes From My Office: October’s Words
Notes From My Office: September’s Words
It seems we still have at least another month before we return to the Office, although as with so much this year, that is subject to change. Who has the crystal ball to tell us of the next few weeks, or months? But my home-office has changed a bit, with a couple of shelving units… Continue reading Notes From My Office: September’s Words
