Reentry from honeymoon to real life was softened a bit by this…

HomeCake

…which was waiting for us when we got home this morning.  Looks like the cake fairy got in while we were away! And the milk fairy had restocked the fridge so we could start making up for missed tea without any shopping delays!

It’s been a fantastic September so far, but it’s not over yet. The rest of the month I will mostly be:

  • Married!
  • Unpacking
  • Going back to work tomorrow- urg!
  • Catching up (what’s been happing the last few weeks? Anything interesting?)
  • Writing lots of thank you letters
  • Looking at wedding photos
  • Looking at honeymoon photos
  • Finding out why @jthouse is frozen
  • Working on my second CurrentCost development board circuit (this time sensing pipe temperature- any clues?!) inspired by the homecamp blog
  • Taking things apart
  • Going to another wedding!
  • Other stuff I’ll find out about when I risk looking at my inbox in the morning

But first, of course, I’ll be eating cake! (And sleeping!)

Four thousand words

I’ve been looking for suitable photos I can use for a presentation I’ve been working on today. It’s my first attempt at the more pictures than words approach, although it does have bullet points as well- I don’t think my target audience is ready to let them go completely, and I don’t do enough presentations to get away with it.

I’m quite pleased with the selection of photo’s I was able to find, so here they are:

A big thanks to the photographers and for the creative commons license that enabled me to use their photos.

Only six days in to October and I’ve remembered to update my monthly wallpaper- sometimes takes most of the month before I realise it’s time for a change! This month’s Ordnance Survey wallpaper is Perranporth, Cornwall.

Just flicking through this month’s IET engineering & technology and one of my current favourite photos jumped off the page at me! I should have been expecting it really since I already knew Roo was speaking at the 30th IET Mountbatten Memorial Lecture in November and he has used the photo before but I think it will catch anyone’s eye.

Update: More from Roo about his choice of photo, Darren being published by the IET and a taster of what to expect on the night.

Little fluffy clouds

Before kicking off, a quick thank you to Jo who texted me a photo of a cloud that looks like the UK. I like clouds. Look up, it’s now the spangly new header image for my blog. By complete coincidence, BBC Breakfast had someone from the cloud appreciation society on the next day!
