Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life…
I am onto a bit of a roll with my 100 hundred reasons to be glad. I am keen to get the project finished so I can start on the one I had planned for 2011. So please bear with me if you can 
I do have a few book reviews planned, I may squeeze one in this week or maybe you will have to wait until next week. My weekend is going to be busy again due to a family birthday

Or to be more precise a hassley week. The office move went ahead quite smoothly and the building is under it’s finally stages of completion. To co-inside with the move we also changed to a new way of working, but not everyone is fully on board with that yet which is causing me some problems.
My Mum took a tumble and bumped her head whilst stepping out of the way of a postman on his cycle. At least the postman stopped and looked after her and called the paramedics out. She seems OK now though
To top it all off, on the way into work one morning I had to pick up a parcel from town. It proved extremely difficult especially when I tried to park. I realised the car park was full and was going to give up and try on another day. As I was trying to reverse out someone parked up behind me leaving me no way to get out!!! I thought they must be trying to get out of the car park before me so I moved out of their way so they could. There was no other reason that I could see for why they didn’t reverse up a bit to let me out. The car then followed me round and completely blocked me in…
It seems the person was so desperate for the next available space when it became available that they were oblivious of me trying to get out of the car park and their way. Some people!!!
The parcel contained some free photo and video editing software and a voucher for a photographic course (courtesy of Panasonic), so at least the hassle was worth it.
I shall now share a little beam of light with you
PS: I forgot to mention I was awoken by the phone ringing at 7am this morning. It was my day for a lie in so I was NOT impressed.

I crept down 0.5lb this week. I am not quite sure how I managed that because I haven’t been able to plan my meals properly due to unforeseen circumstances.
The walking to and from work in the morning probably helped. The walk from the car park is approx half a mile and then there is the return journey. There is also a lot of walking around the office to get to a printer, tea point and the toilets. Currently I don’t have anyone working with me due to a sudden last minute job offer. This means I am sitting on my own and if I need advice I have to go on a little trek across the office.
Additionally all trade union files should be held in the TU office (according to a senior manager) which is in another building. It means taking more minutes than necessary to access files which should be under your finger tips and near by! I think that decision was wrong

I am not being self indulgent using a photo of me to represent this reason to be glad. My eyes reflect a mirror image of the eyes I would really like to have photographed for this thought. I have a beautiful memory which is only captured in my heart, maybe you can see it in my eyes
