Prepared

I’m currently feeling:Challenged. My thoughts creating this feeling:Yesterdays coaching course on Ethical Dilemmas was interesting and threw up a number of things I need to be aware of during, and even before, conducting coaching conversations. I felt challenged trying to achieve a satisfactory level of testing for my project so we can get training doneContinue reading “Prepared”

Sisu

I’m currently feeling:Thinkache. My thoughts creating this feeling :Mentally exhausted. I had a day of trying to resolve testing issues yesterday and even when I got home had to respond to some emails that required more than just a cursory answer. By the time I went to bed I felt a little brain dead. I’mContinue reading “Sisu”

Kvellful

I’m currently feeling:Obsessed. My thoughts creating this feeling :My colleagues and I are taking part in a virtual walking challenge where we pit ourselves against other teams to walk the same mileage as coast to coast across Italy from Venice to Genoa. The challenge started at 9am yesterday and runs for two weeks. My sisterContinue reading “Kvellful”

Active

I’m currently feeling:Flattered. My thoughts creating this feeling :I was sent a message last night from a fairly prominent ringer saying he thought I’d make an amazing Central Council President if I would consider being nominated. I replied saying I had been approached several times but declined each invitation on the basis I don’t thinkContinue reading “Active”

Ready

I’m currently feeling:Impressed. My thoughts creating this feeling :Yesterday was a good days ringing. A real mix of good and not so good bells.

Convivial

I’m currently feeling:Disappointed. My thoughts creating this feeling :I’ve been eating a mediterranean cinspired diet all week. Lunches were couscous with various salad, chickpeas, roasted tomatoes etc. Snacking was extremely healthy, apples, bananas, even a couple of boiled eggs. Evening meals have all been SW friendly, small portions, and mediterranean inspired. I got on theContinue reading “Convivial”

Panurgic

I’m currently feeling:Languorous. My thoughts creating this feeling:In a state of pleasurable inactivity. Got home from work last night and quickly fired out a couple of emails that were important to get done while C was cooking dinner. This meant I was able to enjoy our meal and wine without the worry of having toContinue reading “Panurgic”

Dolce for niente

I’m currently feeling:Italian. My thoughts creating this feeling:Over the last 24 hrs lots of Italian vibes have entered my world. This week I have been following a Mediterranean diet using Italian inspired ingredients. I was leafing through one of my Christmas presents; a book of Italian scenic photos. Then my boss invited us to joinContinue reading “Dolce for niente”

Voluptuous

I’m currently feeling:Relieved. My thoughts creating this feeling :Yesterdays training went well and I was also able to establish something working which hadn’t worked so far, which will make a big difference. I think my headaches of the last week or so could have also been stress related as almost as soon as I’d finishedContinue reading “Voluptuous”
