First Blog Entry - Friday 1 October 2010 - WHY ?

WHY have I decided to try a blog ?

Well officially my life has changed on 1 October (I've agreed to only work 3 days a week !) giving me extra time to do stuff like this - although I haven't yet got a proper plan !, I've mentally given myself until after xmas to work that out.  I have no idea whether the new part-time work arrangements will succeed either for me or for work as my first day has proved as I've  already spent a couple of  hours this afternoon going through reports needed for next week.  I did however manage to go to the girls school and see Adie doing her Judo  - Aged 7 and almost being the smallest but oldest in her group, at least she is described as being 'very ferocious' something her big sister can frequently attest to. There is definitely a school pickup social structure for parents that I have no intention of subscribing to, and will remain happy and consider myself successful having bundled the girls into the car in military fashion in as short a time as possible whilst avoiding questions from inquisitive Mum's.

I hope to add some pics to the blog as I go - My new camera lens however is currently at the camera lens hospital - It won't zoom ! and Mr Nikon told me to expect 4 weeks before I'll get it back, so I'm left with a macro lens which will only be any good if the birds kindly perch on my tripod - I hope the lens return is before a family trip toNorfolk which is only 3 weeks away.  I'm also a VERY amateur picture taker (point and click ) but other blogs I've seen have such fantastic pictures that I'll give it a go.

A few birds over the garden today- 3 Siskins flew north ,18 Meadow pipits, 50+ House Martins all W and the Chiffchaff that's been around for a week or so is still attacking all the Blue tits on the feeders.
