There’s no such thing as bad weather…

Thu 28th May 2026 A wise man once said "There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing1". This is probably right when it comes to wind and rain and snow etc but with this heat, it's hard to wear anything!! There are people complaining about people complaining about this heatwave. I for one am having trouble coping with my flat being a constant 30C plus all day and night. The AC unit can do so much but I can't have it in the bedroom at night, the window isn't setup for the […]

Day four… Heavens remain open…

Wed 3rd June 2026 The only thing on my agenda today is the dinosaur footprints at Compton Beach. Low tide isn’t till much later this afternoon so I have a good few hours to kill. It is still quite stormy with the wind and the rain so a trip to the animal sanctuary is a bad idea. Twenty minutes later I’m in the car park looking for a payment machine. The one inside the sanctuary give a discount so I’ll use that one. I’ll try to avoid calling Wildheart Animal Sanctuary a zoo because […]

Day three… Part two…

Tue 2nd June 2026 I exit the nocturnal area in to the refreshing cooler air. Turning left to make my way towards the outside animals. There’s a pile of Lemurs on the right, keeping warm in the cool breeze. Behind me is a noisy macaw, This one is the blue and red coloured one, the more traditional looking parrot. Along the path there are marmosets with impressive moustaches and at the end a pair of greater Rhea. It’s easy to see how birds are descended from dinosaurs when seeing […]

Learning all the time…

Wed 27th May 2026 We did it! Well, kinda. I had a meeting with ServiceDesk support to go through troubleshooting the Google Chat integration. Going through the API and the integration configuration there were no issues. We deleted some records to get a clean install and went through it again step by step, again no issues. We tested and checked the logs. There was one entry highlighting an issue with a record not being seen but navigating to the table the record was there and configured how […]

Ups and downs…

Tue 26/05/2026 Back to work today. Still cooking in this heatwave and the AC unit is working overtime. Picked up a new story, I am a little familiar with the requirements but the story was missing some key details. This one was logged by a close friend who works on another team. We both started on the first line service desk and through our determination managed to get out of it. We worked together on a project of discovery, well, seeing what we can do within our respective fields regarding […]

Day three… Part One…

Tue 2nd June 2026 Today I’m hunting for dinosaur footprints. They are apparently on the beach and are only visible at low tide. I’m going to have to wait as the tide is against me this morning. That gives me time to visit the Dinosaur Isle Museum. Depending on how long I spend there I may have time to visit the Amazon World Zoo Park too. Low tide is about 6pm but if I get to Hanover Point around 4ish I should get a parking space. First stop, Dinosaur Museum. It’s not the Natural […]

We made it to Friday…

Fri 22nd May 2026 As I type this I’m in the pub. It has been one of those weeks. I’m sure alcohol will help….. well…. maybe not but the momentary escape from reality is welcome, and we are in a heatwave! We are talking late 20’s with 30 forecast for the weekend! I need to take cover! This morning after the daily call I carried on tweaking the report I’d created for the ever absent user. A senior colleague had a meeting with them earlier in the week and their issue was discussed. […]

Time to get a Chine on…

Mon 1st June 2026 Day two of my holiday starts early. Waking up at 5am due to how warm it was in my room. The bed was comfortable enough but the duvet was a thick winter tog, not good for this time of year but I can’t expect the hotel to swap all the duvets in all the rooms, oh and it’s not technically a hotel, it’s a very nice b&b. Breakfast is from 8.30 to 9.30, with 7 rooms from what I can work out an hour is plenty of time. And what a lovely breakfast it was. Full English […]

Feeling reflective…

Thu 21st May 2026 Been feeling a little bit lost and out of my depth at work over the past few days, not sure exactly why. I think some of the stuff that I’ve been looking at and picking up I know they’re beyond me at the moment and I’m still trying to get my head around stuff about how records relate to records and tables and how everything to connect and where stuff is and how to find different things and navigate around the platform, everything basically. I’m just feeling […]

Not a productive day…

Wed 20th May 2026 I've been a little distracted at work today. With my sister being rushed to A&E yesterday I've been waiting for updates. She is awake and aware of everything now but still in a little pain. A CT scan revealed she apparently had something called a tonic clonic seizure and a stroke. She had an MRI this afternoon and is scheduled for a lumbar puncture then we wait for the results. At the moment it seems there's no lasting effects which is good. This could be credit to the […]
