When I started writing the Horse's Mouth back in the summer, I wondered if I would find enough to say every day. I needn't have feared, as here I am, months later, not wondering what to write today but wondering what NOT to write!
Every day, I learn something in my job. Ranging from how you use Tcl to talk to Internet Explorer and Excel (yesterday), through a recipe to encourage workmen to complete the job in hand (previous day) and what paperwork is necessary to complete the sale of a narrow boat (the day before). None of these made it here as a full article. And sitting on my "I want to talk about" list remains a longer article on SQL injection, and overdue reply to David on a comment he made - goodness - nearly a week ago, and an explanation of how a photo I took appears in the Calendar of a Reading Civil Engineering company next year.
But perhaps at times I'm getting too technical. So for today, no further mention of work stuff. Just a look forward to the festive season of Christmas, and to a homeful of people around the tree on Christmas day. Young and old. Family and friends. Now that December's here, the corner is turned and I'm looking forward ... to spending some more time with these people and with others that we'll be meeting up with for a drink here, a meal there, and an outing somewhere else.
