Posted on May 31, 2012 by Gary

Computer sticky things

Posted on May 30, 2012 by Gary

Today I attended my first committee meeting with the Talking Newspaper group. Actually, it wasn’t exactly a committee meeting. It was a sub-committee meeting. Still, given I missed my initial one, I’m counting this one as my first. It was … Continue reading →

Not fooling anyone

Posted on May 25, 2012 by Gary

It was back to work at the Science Museum today. After two weeks off, it’s always a bit of struggle getting used to the Tube again. Particularly when it’s hot as well as being crowded. A pickpocket’s dream come true. … Continue reading →

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Gary

Today was the turn of the fencers to do their thing. They turned up at 9am and set to the job at hand immediately. They very quickly had things laid out and had removed the old fence panels, although the … Continue reading →

A little off the back, please

Posted on May 22, 2012 by Gary
