There’s a difference between a release valve and a redistribution mechanism. Sounds obvious when it’s written, but in practice it’s not the same. For example having taken on a week’s worth of work hassles and pressures on the job, some look forward to the end of the week having a drink or two (or more). […]
Read More The Release ValveI was reminded about something recently. There’s a school of thought that suggests there are two approaches to learning in the compulsory educational system. One approach to learning is because you love the subject, the other approach is to learn to be able to pass the particular subject. Those who love the subject do not […]
Read More Keep This In MindAll expenses paid. I love that aspect of work. The task needs you to spend a period of time away from home. You’ll need transport, accommodation and food covered and some might even allow something in the way of entertainment. You keep a record of what you’ve spent and as long as it’s reasonable, those […]
Read More Your Expenses Are CoveredThis blog is not automated by robots. As yet I don’t think there is available technology to produce entries automatically and post them. From that you can be sage that I am still populating this blog with the updates its received. I’ve read a little bit here and there about how blogging is dead. I […]
Read More Change and Blogging: A Dryden UpdateBroken. The pot was broken into little pieces. No one had an idea what to do, but it was clear that it could never be put back together again.

Worth remembering because of what it says about the journey you’ve made to this point. A point where those things can be of use to remind […]
Read More Make A Note Of ItHouseholds with more than one child are fun. Hey, I’m not suggesting that households with an only child are not fun, I am saying that households with more than one child are a lot of fun. One of the areas of fun for the parent is the challenge of appearing considered and fair to all […]
Read More What Is He Showing You?It’s interesting what can happen when the economy is doing well. More money for pleasure, more money for leisure, more to be spent and opportunities to get on the property ladder and invest and do well. For some it looks very encouraging indeed. It’s also interesting what tends to be promoted often during those times. […]
Read More Justice: One Way or the OtherMy Mum made ace shepherd’s pie. A large baking tray would come out of the oven layered with a smouldering mass of the stuff. I would look at it and my eyes would widen at the sight. Mouth salivating at the thought of consuming it all. Of course what I forgot was that this was […]
Read More You Won’t Get It All In One GoThere are times when you don’t have a clue who you’re talking to. There’s the episode written of a man in a tribe that’s part of a nation that’s being battered constantly.
