We are getting another dog today....

...I’m going to be looking after Herbie, a Yorkshire Terrier, for a few days.

And Mr R is off on holiday for another week. He’s got a medical school reunion in Manchester tomorrow and then he and Kim fly off to Majorca on Sunday for a week.

How does Jack feel about this?

That’s my rose-tinted childhood! Where did it all go wrong...

I was wondering about that, I was brought up in Folkestone.

Just to prove that TVC is not the only one who hangs around with z-list celebrities, today I bumped into a guy whilst out walking the dog in the local park.

Chatted for a few minutes and realised it was a local radio presenter from the BBC.

No idea what he looked like but recognised his voice

I had a kitchen morning. There are delicious things going on here chez Casa Reynard.

But as it's a Friday, I'll be keeping schtum as to what.

In other news, Lexi brought me a mouse.

I’ve found the secret with one-to-ones in the past has been to try and gently turn them around so that you get your boss telling you how it’s going for them and how they think they’re doing. It’s tricky, but with a little finesse it can be done without them noticing.

My current boss is far too canny and so we don’t bother with one-to-ones at all unless one of us has something specific they need to discuss.

I used to hate the things when I was at work, now glad I don't have to bother with them any more.
