First Word

Baby Grace is clearly destined to be a biblical scholar..her first word is Hebrew - Abba..I feel very proud indeed!

Apprentice

I haven't watched all of the apprentice series but have caught a few episodes, and it has made me think about this whole formation thing which is talked about in training for the priesthood.

Over a 10? week period a serious of people have all their flaws pointed out to them, and we the viewers watch in astonishment that the people on the show haven't already worked out this stuff about themselves. As I watched it this week and last week I thought what an awful thing to put yourself through, but how incredibly character forming. And then..the penny dropped..I am in a three year process where i am having a mirror held up to me - often far more gently than Alan Sugar would. Hopefully - by some miracle - by the end of it all i will have learnt something!

Yours as ever

Assessed

I have just had through the write up from my current collage which is going in report to try and get me funding for an extra years training - so i will be able to do two years full time instead of one. This means i need a report that points out my weakness and highlights areas where i need to improve. Its still not easy reading though. My initial response on reading it was as ever to want to argue with every single point raised. However, that i am seen negatively should be valuable information for me - it should spur me onto change. Doesnt stop it stinging though.

As ever

Snotty

Baby Grace has been unwell horrible cough, snotty, and of course that means the long suffering wife has also contracted illness - two sick girls. They both are looking a little green around the gills. I wish i was the lovely sympathetic caring type - in honesty though I am really not good with sick people. They sound so aweful when coughing.

I know i know this makes me a bad person...but seriously i just want them to get better, and then reappear...I know i should be soothing brows...I am trying..

Yours as ever,
