feedback

ha! what a day! i managed to not set my alarm and wake up 2 hours later than i was meant to!! i was having a lovely dream about going to a harvest festival celebration at anjali's future outdoor learning school - lots of little kids had fruit trees to plant - and i was carrying around a beautiful apple tree :-) esther was there too...and then i woke up to discover that it was light and it was in fact 8 o'clock and i should have been at my desk and not in my bed! paniiiic! i was glad my manager wasn't in - i don't think i could have kept a straight face! later in the morning i discovered that nigel (who i do drawing work for) had left some feedback hidden on a drawing he had redlined for me, following a discussion we had yesterday about giving feedback about our department and the service we provide...i thought it fitted in well with this week's theme of reflection as it seems to reflect a lot about my current work life!
in the afternoon i went gardening and today's activities included planting mixed hedging, laughing, drinking tea and mainly chatting! elaine gave me a tour of the progress of work in the garden and spent quite a bit of time explaining about future plans for the walled gardens and re-building of the glass house :-) it was a bit brilliant and i had my first mince pie of the season! yippee! :-)
