Normal home working service has been resumed
81 year ago
Apologies for the lack of blogs lately. I’ve been away for most of the last two weeks and without wifi for much of that time, which is wonderfully relaxing while it lasts, but of course means a backlog when you do get back online!
Firstly I was in North Wales for a week, staying in a beautifully [...]
Home working style page 2
121 year ago
I’ve been working on and off over the weekend to catch up with some of the backlog that built up last week while I was suffering with a cold (and cluttered up my newly clear desk!) One of the jobs I’ve done, with A’s help as usual, is create a new home working style page. We felt the first one [...]
Are you a hybrid home worker?
111 year ago
The other afternoon as A and I set off for our daily walk a cat crossed the path in front of us, a cat unlike any I’ve ever seen before. This cat had tabby stripes on its head and tail, and Siamese colouring on its body. A bit like those children’s games where you put together strange [...]
Home working v house work
221 year ago
Sometimes I meet people who don’t work from home who tell me that if they did, they’d have to make sure the house was clean and tidy before they started work. Mm, well, somehow I think that might change pretty quickly if they ever do work at home.
I tend towards the minimalist so naturally I like [...]
Don’t get it perfect, get it out there!
91 year ago
On Friday we published the new home working style page, despite my doubts about the page presentation, which seemed a major flaw given the subject matter! But I decided to go ahead on the basis of ‘don’t get it perfect, get it out there’ as advocated by my friend and mentor Nick Williams, and my [...]
Home cooking for hungry home workers
161 year ago
Hardworking home workers and their families need sustenance, but often we lack the time or inclination to think much about food or take long to prepare it. A is the chef in this household, and enjoys combining just the right ingredients for the right textures and flavours.
I love eating the [...]
It’s Work from Home Day
201 year ago
Apparently today is National Work from Home Day, which must be one of this week’s best-kept secrets. I’ve just checked back and last year it was on 15 May, so at this rate the next one will be early February 2012. However, I’m not one to complain about a cause for celebration, even if it’s not [...]
My home working hero
101 year ago
Several people have said to me recently that I’m very lucky to have my own IT department in the shape of my partner, Andy. I am indeed, and he is the power behind the site, keeping me on track with everything from setting up Skype calls to improving SEO, as well as working as a very insightful [...]
You’ve got to be joking
151 year ago
I’ve no idea how it happened, but apparently it’s Thursday again! The last two Thankful Thursdays we’ve had celebration of our home working successes and the little things that make us happy. Today I thought it would be fun to share what makes us laugh while working from home.
In Work from Home [...]
Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside
15
A and I are back today after a few days in West Cornwall, where we took advantage of a 60th birthday party in Penzance to arrange a long weekend in St Ives. We managed to stay out of the rain and enjoy the sunshine when it reappeared and finally arrived home last night after squeezing every [...]
What makes home workers happy?
251 year ago
I’ve been reminded by a tweet this morning by Heather Bestel that last week when I invited you to share your home working hurrays I called it Thankful Thursday.
Well, it’s Thursday again, it’s beautifully sunny, it’s the time of year I enjoy the most, and I’m fortunate to have a day without [...]
Pets for home workers cont
81 year ago
Further to my post last week about home working routines on bank holidays, I decided on a kind of half-way course – to do a post today but to make it a lighthearted follow-up to the piece on home workers’ pets.
As well as the comments on the post, I received quite a few tweets. Dog people came [...]
