We have just had the most brilliant last day with the children . Weather is glorious, hot, sunny and just what was ordered. Everyone met us in the park, mums, dads, grandparents, older siblings, younger siblings and of course 'our' children, for a picnic and play. we took over a very large area, children had fun playing and families all joined in, parachute was very popular with everyone, children directed the play! Looking from the sidelines for a while made us very proud to have such a friendly supportive group of parents, all were together and enjoying each others company. Lots of extended family there too and a surprising number of Dads. Some will re…

I've got a job interview on Wednesday and have had some slightly scary details through today. As part of a whole morning's activities ( ), at 9am I get given a presentation title - and have 15 minutes to prepare before presenting to a panel at 9.15!

I think I can cope with the idea of having 15 minutes to prepare something but if I also have to struggle with unfamiliar I.T. equipment and use my basic I.T. skills to put something together then that's VERY scary! Has anyone been faced with the same situation - and did they give you a laptop o…
