Keep the Wolf at Bay…window

First day back at work since 23rd December and I'm sooooo looking forward to getting back! Aside from the fact that I very much enjoy my job and the people I work with, I am, on the whole, a creature of routine and planned work days, in both lives. I've written before about how I [...]

Turn That Frown Upside Down

I'm having a bit of a sad day today...not because of anything personal but because of the constant reminders all around in the mainstream media and social media of just how horrid people can be these days.

Listening but Not Hearing
