Taking more responsibilities…

Well, I feel like I have been thrown in at the deep end – with a pair of concrete shoes.  Simply because I have been asked to take over a load of the work that one of my colleagues in the playpen does, whilst they are on secondment to another department.

I don’t mind, as I deal (or have dealt) with the stuff in the past – there is only one thing that has changed since I went near it, and there is a manual for me to have a read of.  It just means that I have to raise my game, but since I was put out to pasture (AKA furlough) I am in a better place mentally when it comes to my work.  

Partly because I am meditating and partly because I have started to listen to Classic FM on my headphones.  Yes – I can still do my job, but I am isolated from the noise and the distractions in the office and people that I don’t want to speak to.

Nasty as this sounds, I am more than happy to be in the corner – away from everyone, so that I can get on with my work - and be left alone to work in peace and quiet.  Whether that stays that way remains to be seen..

Guess I’d better call it quits – my poor little phone is making pathetic beeping noises again.

Back when I get chance..

Wildlife in the garden

Living in Darkest Warwickshire has its advantages...  Especially when I see things like this in the garden...

Considering the ground feeder is about 6 feet away from the house, the pheasant didn't seem worried that I was sitting in the conservatory taking photos.

But that's not the only visitor to the bird table....  We have had a family of Greater Spotted Woodpeckers coming in.  Not been able to get a photo of the adult female, but I have been able to get photos of the male fledgling....

Ah well, guess I'd better put my phone on charge - poor little thing is bleeping at me again...

Back when I get chance.

Well, it's a brand new morning

And it's the start of your new life

Yeah, it's a brand new morning

You'd better try and get it right

Brand new morning

You've been awake since early light

Brand new morning

So spread your wings and you'll take flight
