I get paid to do this?

I've asked for some work, I really have. However in the absence of any being forthcoming I thought I'd set up another blog. Not only does this give me the opportunity to spout forth my own opinions again, it also makes it look like I'm busy while I'm tapping away at the keyboard. Two birds, one stone etc.

So, in the seven weeks since being made redundant... I chilled for the first two, worked for the next two at a lovely place in Waterloo, went to see my sister in Tenerife, then worked here for last week (small agency in Richmond) and am booked for the next three days too. Touch wood the work keeps coming in. I've written about trains, people with arthritis, tourist attractions in Bath, and ex-service people who have lost limbs amongst other things, which has made a pleasant change from technology.

I've also approached two other local outfits (one of which I've had to turn down three times so far on account of being too busy) so we'll see.

In the meantime, I can cycle to and from work, the people are nice, there's free coffee and tea and I spent this morning surfing the Interweb for cottages to spend Christmas in. So I can't grumble really. And now it's time for lunch... Brucie bonus.
