When I first started this blog, I wrote it because I wanted to share what I knew – because I knew some stuff other people seemed to need/want to know and keeping it all to myself seemed wrong. I joined Twitter around the same time, and there was a big group of people in localRead… Read more »
Maybe those are the best kind? I am struggling to find the space to fit the words in. Or rather, the space to let the words out into. So we shall have a go here and see what comes. Local government is a strange place, I’ve decided. Nothing happens at all for months. Or atRead… Read more »
I am struggling, a little, to write with the same frequency I used to. Not because my words are going elsewhere (though they are) but because my time simply has contracted in an effort to keep up with all the things I have committed to do, as well as keep up with the sudden explosionRead… Read more »
IWD has never even been on my radar prior to this year. I didn’t know there was one. Normally, I don’t like celebrating differences. Times, however, have changed, and so have I.

She’s a granny who keeps in touch with family across the world usingRead… Read more »
The clues in the title, don’t bother reading on if you find admitting to have them indulgent. Emer Coleman says humans are messy. Well so is this post, because it’s the culmination of two weeks which have affected me deeply, but in which I have felt, very much, as if I had no right atRead… Read more »
I love the word, but that’s beside the point. An old ex boyfriend found me today on Twitter. No dramas, we parted company reasonably amicably and time passes and turns reasonably into water passing under bridges. We swapped details, little has changed, he’s doing very well for himself as a PM at Channel 4 andRead… Read more »
I don’t have any answers. Lets get that clear right up front. What I do have is some questions and some personal experience to share. If you’re looking for numbers – wrong place. I’d send you somewhere else to find them but…well we’ll come to that. Return on Investment is a big big deal atRead… Read more »
