Finally ordered the blinds for the lounge, Against all the odds I've gone with wooden venetian. Same as the rest of the house. But this time...a shade off white.
This week I also announced to the LinkedIn world that I am available for contracts: "I'm on the lookout for an additional communications contract with the flexibility to work from home / client office. I’m working four days a month for the International Paralympic Committee - working hours to suit me and my other commitments. I am willing to take on full or part time hours - copywriting, change, transformation, customer or colleague communications." Then proceeded to ignore any messages suggesting suitable roles. Maybe what I would like to say, if I was being more honest (which I could never really do on LI - it wouldn't be professional) is: "I'm on the lookout for an additional communications contract - working from home office. With no travel whatsoever. I’m working four days a month for the International Paralympic Committee - working hours to suit me and my other commitments (the local sheep, my garden, decorating, baking, snoozing, family visits, online shopping). I am willing to take on a few hours that pay really, really well - writing about sheep, my garden, decorating, baking, snoozing, family visits, online shopping." LinkedIn is a funny place:
I haven no idea why I scowl. I am pleased for them. I don't have their ambition. I like to keep stress to a minimum. So therefore I'm not jealous. For real. But anyway...maybe a scowl is actually my bless-them-didn't-they-do-well, go-to face. The fact that I hate LinkedIn so much suggests to me that I'm completely done with the rat-race. Ahhhh. Rats. I'm actually quite fascinated by them. But they are wrecking the borders with their rat runs. Anyway - this morning Stu found a rather large dead one on the paddock. Seems Zip (neighbour's dog who we're currently looking after) managed to catch and kill it. We love Zip. If he could just catch the rest... I don't have a particularly relevant pic today. So here's one of Zip with Patch (neighbour's dogs) in their mobile accommodation (dog caravan), looking like they've been naughty.

Hi Debs, I totally agree with you about LinkedIn and about going back to corporate. I think once you have bowed out of the program for a while and given yourself time to find your own peace, no one chooses to goes back x
