JoBren Adventures!

Hi hi and hello!! How are you and yours?  And the apple of your eye?  The pomegranate of your ear?  The asparagus of your pancreas?  All thriving? Work is madly on the go and holidays long, long forgotten! (A survival mechanism to help avoid work place trauma). Our meeting rate is up to a minimum of 2 a day with as many as 6 a day not being an exotic thing.  Meetings can go on and on and make it feel like time doesn't just slow down, but go backwards...  There is also a LOT of renovations going on at the office! This was the last photo I got before a ginormous black rubber curtain was set up over the whole site, blocking our sight, which is a sight for sore eyes! Whatever are they building? New offices? A new work space? A mosh pit full of balls? (THIS!!) I shall keep you updated! An even a bigger mystery was them building this hardboard, long, long, rectangular THING smack in the middle between the gym (to the right) and the coffee place (to the left). I t...

Hi!!! How are YOU today? Are you up?  About?  EnerGETic?  Annoying because you are all those things and others are not? ✨ We are nearing the end of our lovely rainy month!  I will miss the clouds something fierce! Almost each day was a smorgasbord of photo opportunities!  Or just the opportunity to look up and up and up... The mosquitoes have been out in force as well - the dark, evil Yin to the rains joyful Yang... A battalion or more go for me if I ever so much as set a hoof outdoors Or indoors.  Or in the car.  Or the gym or... They are my biggest fans... Our skies are still fascinating to admire, and early morning walks are all crispy air and peachy-colored everything!    Still, I think grey is awesome!!! Some of the more soft-bodied, littler life-forms have also been out and about en masse!  We've seen an absolute delight of frogs pop HOP popping by,  and a whole French dinner of snails, some in some of the strangest place...

 Hi! Hello! Annyeonghaseyo!  <-- Hello in Korean! I had to Google it too!  How are you? What grabs your attention these days, all the marvels that steal your breath away? (and hopefully return it afterwards...!) I am officially nominating January as Best Month of the Year! Okay okay, it's the only month we've had so far this year, but still! We have had so much rain, and cooler weather, the world is so stunningly green, I think this is what it must be like to live in rural Britain! Or like Switzerland if someone stole the mountains!  Everything smells of living things! (Which can sometimes be a mixed blessing...) Rain is amazing!  My view from the car window as we, literally, streak by!  Zooooooooooooom!  To be fair, our driver's side window doesn't roll all the way up and when there is a lot of rain some droplets come in to sit on our shoulders or lap!  And if another car goes past into a deep, spraying puddle... more pet raindrops!! *shakes l...

Hello! Good day! Good year!  Tire brand! And there is our word association game of the day!  I do hope you are weller than well and ready to take on the day with the ferocity of a cornered shrew!  Any BIG plans for the year? I always find small plans tend to be less stressful and actually stick & work out, have you noticed? So saying I don't have any.  We had a lovely holiday, I actually thought it would be more along the lines of this:  But actually we were rather  out  &  about!  All over really! It was great fun! I did sneak into work from the 17th to the 20th, they still took the leave off, but I got to use the water here and have the whole place nearly to myself - it was GLORIOUS!  Mind you, guess which small, bouncy person worked on the only floor where they didn't put the lights on? I felt like I was at a casino!  Yes, fine fine, but what about the HoLIdaYs?!  <--aka the important stuff!  We did a lot of ...
