      They're big blighters, to be sure!

       

      They come droning up our road and thud into the windows, then amble around looking stunned before flying off again to annoy someone else....

      Once sent a text to my other half advising 'I have broken down at the hospital'........ a combination of sausage fingers and auto text thing meant that the phone changed it to and sent it as.....'I have broken down at the ubersexual'....

      Also replied to an email from  a female supervisor who asked me how things were  going. I had seen her earlier that day and she was a bit busy at the time. My one liner ,courtesy of spell checker read....

       

      'Saw you earlier. Didn't stop. You looked really busty'

    A bit of classic aviation over the office this morning with Avro Annie heading eastwards. Lovely sound.

      Lucky you!

       

      'Avro Annie' sounds a bit like an adventure-seeking lady pilot!

      Assuming it was G-VROE and not Shuttleworth's Avro 19, glad to see she's still getting some air under her wings! Had a few interesting flights in that, including loosing some bits......

      Yep, I hate it when there's only 7927 cornflakes in the box! (and more seriously, everything being designed to serve 4, when there's only two of us. Used to be even worse when I lived on my own)

    I can see more people are responding to blog entries thanks to the way the Activity Streams work.

      Quite agree! It was one of the reasons why I posted less often on here as I'd liked; I love the blog format, but found the lack of integration meant views were a fraction of what layout topics would achieve. I'm excited to start posting now! Thanks again for all your hard work Andy - it really is appreciated by most!

      Blogs were always a bit difficult to see up till now. Having new blog content shown in the activity list means that I will now get to notice all the good things that I would have missed on the old software.

      You cannot check your own work, and if blog entries receive more views then they should get more comments too, and this can only encourage collaborative working. Good.

      Now, can we have square frames for our avatars, rather than these silly post-modern portholes?

      Please?

    It's not often you go to photograph a layout and be given the produce of the location of the layout. Thanks Joe!

      This is starting to sound like one of those "meerkat" ads: "Whilst you open the fridge for the 27th time today - naughty!!"

       

      OK - perhaps not - but everyone needs days away from work every so often - that's why weekends and holidays were invented.

      Therein lies the curse of working from home, Andy. Been there, done that. 

       

      But, where ever you work from,  there must be breathing space.........There is much to be said for shutting the office door and driving away.
