Time to actually fulfill some of my threats promises. One of which was writing about the Gib airport (s). The title, by the way, also refers to um, a photo shot weekly thing, but more of that later. A while ago, I noticed the new airport shooting up, and quickly snapped some pix of the […]Read Post ›
Something tells me I’m not a joiny-in sort of person. Wherever you look on people’s blogs, they all seem to be joining in something. Primarily photo challenge things, or sometimes books, or sometimes just ‘write a post about whatever word/s we suggest’. One of the reasons is apparently to get people to blog more often, […]Read Post ›
The immortal line in the 007 films. As distinctive as the theme music. In my quest for light reading at the local library (I’ve now read all the Chris Ryans, Graham Greenes, and various others) I suddenly chanced on the Bond novels by Ian Fleming. For some reason I never read them in my youth […]Read Post ›
So, taking a break from all the stress of seeking work, and – even worse – finding it, we cleared off to Spain for the weekend. Initially we had been going to stay for at least a week, finish the bedroom, be in for the water meter person to read the meter, pay bills and […]Read Post ›
For anyone following the exciting saga of our current Gib jobhunt, here is the latest update. We both had interviews this week. Mine was in the gaming industry and his was in construction. I enjoyed mine mainly because it was more of a discussion about developing a new role within the company. Given that there […]Read Post ›
No Internet. Yet another proposed invasion of people’s freedom. Thanks to Iquitoz on South of Tonight. With which I shall dutifully sign off the internet for the rest of the day.
And – some white collar tales of the job thing. I signed on at the Gib Job Centre a couple of years ago. There was nothing there remotely in my line of business of course, and I got bored with wandering up every week and dutifully signing on (for which I received no benefit before […]Read Post ›
Back into the serious side of blogging now, after the minor distractions of cat bites, cavalcades, the living Nativity, and everything else that characterises the average Christmas/New Year break. Let’s start with employment, because for 150 or so people, the first week of the new year did not bring good news. This is totally anecdotal, […]Read Post ›
It’s always exciting to tick off another first in life. Or maybe not. I could have done without ticking off ‘cat bites.’ For anyone who hasn’t read the full story, it’s over here on Clouds. As I now consider myself to be an expert on cat bites and treatment thereof, I shall share my amazingly […]Read Post ›
In topsy turvy order, this post is about new year’s eve and new year’s day. Topsy turvy in as much as it should sequentially have been posted before the last one. Who cares? So there we were, happily sitting out on the terrace on new year’s eve. The door frame had been painted up, so […]Read Post ›
