There’ve been some changes around here since last summer. You might have noticed. I took longer to get back to writing and crafting regularly since taking August off than I intended. Partly this was due to a restless sort of feeling about the whole thing, and what I wanted from it and where it was… Continue reading Notes From My Office: February 2022

Notes From My Office: November 2021
This last month has had a lot of time thinking about and planning for Christmas. Here, with the updated Advent calendar and considering back-up plans in case of sudden restrictions (especially now with the Omicron variant), and in the Office with Christmas lunches and all the other festivities of the season. In some ways, I’m… Continue reading Notes From My Office: November 2021
(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
The Last Week of (This) Lockdown
Unless something drastic changes over the next seven days, my Return to the Office begins in earnest next week. As such, I’ve been trying to get back into the habit of at least drafting as many posts as possible well in advance. Like this one, which I drafted at the beginning of June, and which… Continue reading The Last Week of (This) Lockdown
Home or Office: Restrict or Relax?
I first drafted this a few weeks back, at the beginning of the month. I’ve since rewritten. You see, we were preparing to return in earnest to the office. Couple of days this week, a few more next, then full time on-site at the start of July. That isn’t now happening, for various reasons, for… Continue reading Home or Office: Restrict or Relax?
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: 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
Life in Isolation: The Return of Lockdown
Every year, I’ve always wanted to be able to go into hibernation from about the end of October until about Easter-time, with a foray into the world for festive feasting about Christmas/New Year. This year, I suppose I’ll get a taste of it, with this new lockdown. In theory, it’s just for a month, until… Continue reading Life in Isolation: The Return of Lockdown
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: June’s Words
Well, what’ll you know? That thing I said the other day, about setting up my craft room in time to turn it back into an office? Yup, that. It started with half a week of training - allowed under furlough rules, apparently - and then became back to work proper, although continuing from home. So… Continue reading Notes From My Office: June’s Words
