work?

Back in December, I wrote about the fun of getting a new contract. Well, I got one. It started in mid-January and it's kept me pretty busy. I've been to Manchester, Preston, Penrith, Bristol, Colchester, Maidstone, Ashburton and London. I've taught classes of people about a new system they're getting. Now I'm waiting for the go-ahead for the next stage - coaching people on how to use the system once it's live.

Now you might think it'd be an idea to train people just before go-live. Yes, it is. But most people would rather be given a system that works well, than one that's close but not quite ready. So, wisely, the clients decided to fix some issues before go-live. Maybe a software company or two could learn from that?

But it does mean that photos just haven't been taken - until we had some snow on the tulips, and then again yesterday when we had sunshine on the bluebells. It means I've resisted the chances to buy yet more camera gear.

And it also means I've written no poetry recently. I've always been clear that I write when the muse calls me; I don't write to order. It's a shame, but it just shows how special that period was in which I wrote 100 poems in six months.

I'll write again.
