Postcards from the Edge...
No! This is not Boo & QR!
Lovely to exchange my army boots for sandals!
Love a bit of rock exploring...
Here we are in Spain- staying in my mom's apartment having made "The Great Escape". QR really needed a break- some "kicking back" and "doing nothing" time (See her blog for more details). I'm trying (very I'm told!) to stay out of her face and behave myself- we'll see!
As for Boo- well I'm heading for a very stressful time in my work. I love my job- I manage a support service for 350 vulnerable elders- I have a staff team of 30 and the contract has just been given to a different company. We'll all get taken over to the new company but you can bet that there will be massive cost saving exercises and little if no autonomy. I'm hoping that it won't affect the service but I do feel responsible for the service users and staff.
So here I am in Spain charging up my batteries ready for the many steep climbs ahead.
Onwards and Upwards! (can't wait to get the puppy mid May I hope)

My dear Boo, I just popped back to say a couple of things for the record. I know that we've talked about what's going at your work but it felt proper to say something here.
Your many readers won't know that, with you at the helm, your service has changed beyond recognition. Previously, it let down both staff and vulnerable clients and in the hands of the present company it would revert to just that without your input. So, as you know al too well, the contract being moved to another organisation will be the best thing for staff and clients.
You've been able to turn the service around because you have the welfare of vulnerable people at heart and are an amazingly skilled people manager. This isn't just the view of a besotted girfriend - your reputation in the field speaks volumes. Love always
