Gaps and Departures.....

.....discovered that several people I know are stuck in departure lounges around Europe at the moment; gaps at their desks at work and children missing from the playground.

Parted ways with a project manager from my work stream today. He's a contractor employed on the strength of a glowing CV, but I really can't imagine what he's project managed. I tried everything to understand and work with his unique brand of chaos and utter panic. Probably would have been kinder on us both if I'd taken the decision weeks ago.

Owen explained to me this evening that we are to keep our aging Mazda 6 in a garage forever, even when its only fit for scrap, as "it's an important piece of family history". Mmmm....not really keep sake size is it?
