Well its a been a year! Well it will be tomorrow but I can't see me getting anywhere near this tomorrow! So Happy Birthday to my Blog!!
Today has been spent manically beavering away over work items, stored procedures, methods & classes and aspx.cs pages... that's Project Management. Honest! After an early-ish start (not helped by tube network being totally up the spout) I managed to produce my PLAN!!! Leaving office at 7.30pm. Effort in equals, well, we'll see! The pressure of a deadline helps, half the office being on manoeuvres also helped! Peace and quiet!! It reminded me of my youth and doing my homework. Music and method. Yes I am off to the Paris office Wednesday morning for 3 days. Looking forward to it - but just want everything sorted before I go. Got a work event at Vinopolis tomorrow pm and then Thursday pm the Anchovy project is being celebrated - would feel a fraud if my end of the bargain was half cocked.
Spent the weekend here and in Kent - a flying visit home. Seconded the official wedding photos - there are some really good ones in the set! Aah happy days - all seems so long ago.
So what have I learnt over the last year? Like so many aspects of my character, that I have acquired, the blog started prompted by somebody I fancied. He and I were short lived. We are still in touch but I suspect it has no mileage - I haven't seen him in over a year despite the fact he is now in London. Shame really. Meow!! :-) I have a tattoo which was partly cos of someone I fancied and those amongst you who know my past may say my long hair was heavily influenced by a love interest. Hee hee! The rest unfortunately is fairly and squarely me! Cynical. Downbeat. Bubbly. Slightly mad. Slightly sad. Overly emotional and totally misunderstood. Still determined mind you and loving my current climbs. Just loving being me at the moment. Rollercoaster. It's a new ride every day.
Whilst looking for some ear phones in my cupboard in my old bedroom I stumbled across my journals - wow! I shuddered when I read some of the tings I wrote about. All the crushes I had - usually on people I had not even spoken too. Oh I wonder if the poor sods realised! The letters, printed emails and things I wrote - not much seems to have changed and yet everything has changed! Were have those people gone? Suzanne S, Jenny S, Rob Jones, Andy, Jo F, Nicola S, Gillian, Gill, Sarah Thomas, Bina Bagga, Sonia W, Sam Pick, Kevin Mansell, Dave 'lead bollocks' Ferra, Pete, Hitain, Darren G, Chrissy D, David L, Adam E?? All names from the past. Wonder who they are now? And the recurring names! Baggy, Ziggy, Dr Marc, Konrad, Sean and Lisa. Friends for life despite the ups and downs! AND of course all the new names harvested over the last (almost) 6 years here in London in this job, Swansea Jack, Maccer 40p, Camilla, Vaughany, Simon Morley, Lord RDM, Mikey Gee, John Dicko, Furry, etc etc. So I have learnt that life is always a tapestry - a never ending weave of threads. The circular nature of certain relationships - they ebb and flow but I am truly content - fit to bursting in fact - with the knowledge that for every dark time there has been a lighter time!
So thank you readers - thanks for the contributions all of you who do - always a pleasure! Thanks everyone for the memories, learning curves, love, angst, influences and laughter!
And now for a footie score I think!!! Saturday's result - Bristol City 3 - Gillingham 0 - does not bode well for cup game. Question is should I go?!
Right I need SLEEP!!!!
SO Assume Nothing!
Question and attempt everything - you never know where it may take you.... :-)

you look like a WAG in this picture. Time to dig out Danny Spiller's address?
And happy anniversary too. Your blog is definitely the best London-based soap and I am looking forward to many more postings. Especially about the mystery dinner dates...
Blimey - what a photo - you look fab!
Sarah Thomas - there's a name to conjure with. I wonder what became of her? Those boots! And as for old Stoaty Trousers, he's got a kid, lives in Cardiff with a posh lady ...
Does a WAG look fab?! I am now confused! Yes - that's me at my bro's wedding - in a dress with full clown make up on!! Nice!
Stoaty Trousers - there's a sudename to reckon with!! Ha ha!! And I was never going to be posh!!
Cars!
yes WAGs can look fab. What about Cheryl Tweedy and Jamelia - they are almost as gorgeous as you
