Busy, busy, busy

Well, 2017 seems to have sped by and I realise you've not had any stats from me for 6 months.  There's a good reason for that... wait for it...

2017 up to and including 28th December
paper cuts: NONE

So that's good, right?   Hold that thought... 

Glass cuts: two  So, yeah. That's not ideal.

Now we've got that out of the way, I expect you're waiting for some more Debs facts. I know, it's exciting, right?

Debs fact numbers HJ003486 - HJ003487:

• I've never had an imaginary friend and that makes me sometimes wonder whether I'm the imaginary friend. If so... I'm still here, Mandy.
• I have been unable to find a quiz which tells me what my police-given moniker would be if I were being hunted for a string of murders. If you find one, please let me know.

Right, enough about me... I've shopping to do - I've got a couple of birthday cards to get and I want the ones with a greeting already printed in them.  

If I'm going to be insincere, it may as well be with the least possible effort.

Exploring the Bay

So it was a glorious summer day out there. A fact I could easily have prepared for by, oh, I don't know... checking the weather forecast?  (Sort it out, Debs)

The winter coat was soon dumped and a race around parks began.  For today was part one of the parks tour for our new volunteer who will be co-ordinating our education and citizen science programme. 

I know, exciting, right? What could be better than getting groups of people into our green spaces, exploring nature and sharing the love? You know, apart from bubbles. 

We can do bubbles, too. In fact we already have a plan to incorporate bubbles. How could you not have anticipated this? It's like you don't know me at all 😮

We spent a few hours visiting various parks around Brixham, with one main potential site for some great events and I came away with a plan... next week, we'll do Paignton 😃 I can't wait to start planning activities in Clennon Lakes and Youngs Park.

August disaster

It's not all bad, I didn't handle any paper, yesterday, but managed to end up with a papercut-esque slice in my little finger. Cause unknown. 

Then, today, I managed to fall off  a stile into a load of stinging nettles.  It's not the best outcome for the weekend.

Still, at least no papercuts and that, after all, is what matters.

Making friends

Yeah, look, you're funny and clever, but if you're not old enough to remember Clippit, I don't see our friendship working...

The past few years have been amazing.  My 'career' took a bit of a massive detour and I have met the most fabulous people. People who have taught me more about myself than anything in the preceding 30-odd years.  So I'm happier, more focussed and have some fantastic friends...  some of whom don't have any recollection of our beloved Office Assistant, but I'm trying to not hold that against them.

So perhaps it's time for an update on those Debs facts? Ah, why not... you've been patient enough.

Debs fact number HJ003483 - HJ003485:

• I love egg fried rice. Possibly more than I love socks (just possibly)
• I am almost definitely probably not scared of the dark (coff)
• I would love to be a goth, but I am far too chatty and cheery ☹

I think that's enough for now.  I don't want to overwhelm you with Debness this close to big sleep time.

So have yourself a nice mug of tea and try to not worry about Debs' futile goth aspirations. I'll probably want to be a hipster,  after lunch (this definitely won't happen). 

Hakuna matata.
