AUDIOBLOG – Please click here What I should really be doing is getting ready to go to work. Putting my face on so I don’t scare the children. What I find myself doing is stretching my feet across the coffee […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I sit here at the keyboard, with absolutely no idea in my head of what I’m going to write. I had thought I would be posting immediately, but I have found what I needed […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here The danger with a funded project is that you spend such a long time making sure you have the books balanced, promoting, marketing, networking and managing, that it becomes difficult to fit in doing […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I’ve compared my current state of mind to that of air traffic control. The items in my head are the planes. Some can circle the airport for a week or two, plenty of fuel, […]
