I had such plans and the days have zoomed by!

Being out on site visits and whizzing around the A3 and soutg circular really leaves little time for much else.

Evenings have been taken up with trying to keep apace of work admin that doesn't get done during the day when out on site visits (failing), personal admin (failing), decluttering (failing) ( Read more... )

Work is still super busy and I've been out on sites much of this week which means a backlog of admin. I'm hoping to catch up today and this weekend, as well as get on those backdated entries and #SFC posts. Next week is another with 3 days of sites visits so lots still to do.

It seems Meat Loaf has shuffled off this mortal coil - I feel a need to ( Read more... )

I've not yet achieved my cunning plan of backdating entries because I have been doing ALL the work...lots of site visits which by the time I've driven round the south circular, found a location, done the people thing, driven back around the south circular and made an attempt to write up notes leaves me wrecked. I did three site visits today and ( Read more... )

Things went boom on the work front last week hence my absence and I'm going to shamelessly use this as an excuse to backdate my entries.

In terms of bigger more planet wide booms - if there's anyone who hasn't seen it yet (and some of the equally awe inspiring and terrifying footage) the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano went Boom big time. The ( Read more... )

My sleep patterns have been all over the place and I'd been feeling a little under the weather (annoying minor phsyical issue is back - gah!).

So when I woke Thursday morning and felt like pants I called in sick and afer 20 mins browsing social media crawled back into bed.

I intented to nap for an hour or so and then get up and try and do some work ( Read more... )

My feelings on AUs, fusions and cross-overs have ( Read more... )

My profile is a bit out of date so the basics are in this sticky.

Who am I?
I'm Ruric, and yes, my user name is unashamedly stolen from Mary Gentle's Golden Witchbreed character of the same name, for she was awesome. I'll be 60 in 2023 - no idea how that happened - and I live in South London with 4 cats and an allotment. I've also got a cottage on ( Read more... )

I was dithering about whether to try and do some entries for the SFC this year and then decided I may as well give it a shot so of course am now behind! Oh well - still time to catch up.

Today's

I missed the final weekly roundup for 2021 - whoops!

Technically I know we're only two days into this year but I'm trying to establish some good habits here and become a bit more of a completer/finisher to use Belbin jargon.

Meanwhile here I sit sipping a rather large glass of Merlot (one thing less of the leftovers) typing up this entry while ( Read more... )
