So last week was a return to posting, I then went on leave for a couple of days and then ended up being off sick, now I am back at my computer nearly a week later.
A few lovely events have happened, I managed to win a Phil&Teds buggy on eBay. I can't believe how popular these things are. I love buying bargains on ebay, but getting one of these as a bargain is a hard thing to do. I even did the searches for peoples spelling mistakes - there was a website for this, but I can't find it now. But simple typos by people mean that less people can search for it - great for the buyer! Anyway the buggy has finally arrived after problems with the courier and Mrs Stretch thinks it is brand new which is great.
So as I mentioned I was on leave for a couple of days, I was actually on the Isle of Wight and if I had foursquare I would have got my "I'm on a boat" award, but I haven't, so I didn't! I did however have a great time with the guys from church. If you didn't know that I go, then "surprise". Don't worry I will not be going on a christian crusade and slaughtering you all :-) It was a very inspirational time and lots of male bonding with bonfires, golf, go-karts, croquet and lots of table tennis aka whiff-whaff. The top quote from the weekend was "Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we've ever known." Which when you have kids is a great motivation to achieve so much more for them to be able achieve so much more.
So today sees me at a Starfleet office, hopefully accompanied by Golfy if he can be bothered to travel! :-)
On the opportunity front, it seems I am not going on the route that I expected. It seems I am too valuable and they can exploit me further somewhere else. Which suits me at this point. Now I just have to tell the man who has the dog that the dog is not wanted (for now)
