I think my job is interesting. Well, it interests me, anyway. Not all of it, of course, but quite a lot of it. No idea whether it would interest anybody to read about it, though.

I find my library job fascinating even though it is about the worst paid job I've ever had.

I like most parts of my work and would be happy if it continues until I retire.

The last job I had (12 years ago) paid ok but wasn't what I wanted to do all my life. I wanted it to be a stepping stone in the way that it did a purpose at a time but wasn't what I always wanted to do.

Don't you mean "re-mode"?

Of course....

Would wearing my citizen cap this afternoon be considered bad manners?

PN Currently I have my domains at 1&1. They don't seem to be offering me a wordpress install (and even seem to want to charge me extra for webmail .

Who would you recommend for domain registration and hosting?

I use 1and1 for domains - because it's so easy to add a new one. Then I redirect the domain to my hosting. I find it easiest to keep ALL my domains with one solid/reliable domain company, all in one place - and it takes me under 1 minute to buy a new one.

I currently have 3 hosts I think.... the two I use for Wordpress both have one click installs and I have reseller accounts, so I can just add new domains on a whim. Here's a link to them both: myhosts

I can't decide which is best - I had this dilemma last week when I bought a new domain and needed to point it at one host or the other... I ended up flipping a coin.

My 3rd host is a specialist server/service, not relevant to WP etc, they're called PowerDNN but that's a one off hosting for one of my sites that needs special knowledge.

Where are all the nice people hiding?

Today involved work (just 1 hour) and some gardening.

I cut my grass and put down 10 litres of "mega" weed killer. Should do the trick!

Weathers been fab :j

Church
Lunch out at a pub with LNE's parents - it would have been his birthday on Tuesday.
Helping DS pack to go away for his Y6 post-SATs outdoor activities residential.

I am doing quite well at not letting him know how I feel about him going away, but I miss my mum. I want to ask her how she felt when her eldest first went off on something like that, and work out whether how I feel is just a general mum thing or a specific mum-of-fragile-kid-who's-been-through-too-much thing.

I'm sure he will love it Lydia. Kids manage a lot of things better than us grown ups. It will help to make him a more rounded young man.

I am hopeful for him (and lydia) too, but dear heart, if he does not love it that too is a growing experience. It must be so bloody difficult for you parenting a wonderful but fragile child, because life doesn't stand still for them. He is such a bright boy and even if we could make the world stop turning for him to pause i am not sure that would be any better for someone so bright.....it might just let the fragility grow.

Honestly, he is so outstanding a young man, i cannot see him not growing upto be all he could be.
