Missing...tracking through social media!



So she's definitely out there, alive and well, but we've heard very little from Abi since she disappeared off to Somerset. We know she managed to get from Mum & Dad's to Kerrie's house. We know she entered the flower show, even managed (possibly, we aren't sure) to win a prize for her miniature garden. We know she's had a fun day out today - we've seen the photographic evidence... We think she's been on her iPad (we had a request for a new game)... but we've barely heard from her directly. I did mange to get her to answer the phone today, but it was brief and clearly I was interrupting whatever else she was doing because almost immediately I got "can I go now?" We believe she's back tomorrow - I hope it's in a good mood after all this independence. I've missed her, even if she hasn't missed me. Oh well, sometimes it's good not to be needed... I think!
 
So while Abi has been off doing whatever she has been doing, me, Glenn and Izzy have been happily hanging out at home. Izzy went off yesterday to ride and then happily pottered around at home doing stuff. Today she did more pottering, helping me briefly in my monumental weeding marathon (all 250m of the garden path over 2 days), before going to Pikey Heaven (local 'theme park') for Harrison's birthday party. At her request we went for a brief run (she wanted to wear the new leggings she'd found upstairs) - she managed a mile and a half quite well round the village, despite the complaints at the half way point! She was interested to see the photo's of Abi and Kerri having fun, but not so much that she felt she'd missed out. Basically she likes being at home. Given how quickly this is likely to change, I'll bank that while I still can.

Welcome Albert James!

So this week has been full of new things - Jess and Chris have welcomed Albert James Wilkinson Rayner to the family, a tad early but all doing well apparently (and so cute!!), I started my new job, Abi has her new shed and Dad got sorted on a phone that wasn't invented before the kids were born!! I always knew this week was going to be full on and it certainly has been. The first thing I had to do was try and sort out my diary which had been filled from dawn to dusk by my predecessor with meetings. I decided to set out as I mean to go on and immediately took out those that started before 9am. While I can get into  the office for 8am , it's a pain and requires me to be on the 6:30am train which is just a bit much every day (stating the obvious). I then made it clear that we don't need to be joined at the hip for the next 4 weeks which is a sensitive process - even though he is retiring it's hard to let go and he is understandably keen that the team are looked after. ...

Diary management!

This part of the summer is definitely typified by me trying to remember who is supposed to be where and when. Abi likes to be off doing something with someone while Izzy is happier to know she's close to home and so for the last week they've gone their separate ways. Abi has been down in Somerset making the most of Ben and Laurie being about. From what I can tell she's having a lovely time. Apart from the covert phone call one evening to tell me she was 'starving'  (Mum was cooking for the hordes and so it had been delayed), I've barely heard from her. The few calls I have had have very quickly ended in "can I go now" like I'm making her speak to me! Today she switches from Mum and Dads to a night or two with Kerrie - not sure who is more excited! Izzy didn't want to be away for that long so she opted not to go. She's very conscious that Abi and Laurie are joined at the hip when together and Ben has his own things he wants to do so she ...

Ypres

Walking around the lake in Ypres while waiting for the rugby to finish! A wet Monday evening after a lovely long weekend away in Ypres - just the two of us and just what I needed after what has been a relatively stressful few months of decision making. The decision is now made however and on Monday I resigned my job in order to join a new company in January. This will be the same role, but a company that hopefully offers more long term stability than my current one. It's been hard going through the initial round of telling people.Despite only being there for 7 months I've made some good friends and very quickly become established and everybody who I've told has been happy for me but very sad that I'm going - it hasn't made it easy. I do feel like I've been through the mill a bit this year - what with leaving EY, ramping up to a big new role, finding out it probably didn't have the longevity I was looking for and then going through the process of finding ...
