I had a think about what films I’ve seen recently and whether I liked them or would recommend them or not. Anyway, the ones I can think of include:
Sleuth (2007)
A real disappointment. Michael Caine and Jude Law (a good line-up you might think) but not a patch on the original. The original film is one [...]

I’ve now found out that they’ve offered me the job.
Was in quite a state of shock when she called me to tell me. The basic salary they’re offering is more than I’m on, the bonus (the whole scheme is different) is less. But their pension scheme is better and some of their other staff perks [...]

Not a lot of news today. The agency called and said they’d had (positive) feedback from N, who I’d met yesterday. But AFAIC (as far as I’m concerned) that doesn’t mean all that much as he’s not the decision maker, just an influencer. He’s meeting the Director (of the corporate function I perform) tomorrow and [...]

Yet another update.
There’s not a great deal to say unfort. I met the guy at lunchtime and we went for a sandwich. Turns out he’s only been there 2 months and is himself on contract. The role would involve working closely with him. I got on pretty well with him (he’s middle aged, married with [...]

I got the feedback from the agency today. Was horrendous. There’s me, sitting at my desk with my personal mobile on the desk, knowing it just may ring, with feedback following my interview last week. I have it set to ‘meeting’ mode so it won’t alert people to the fact I’m taking calls. I spend [...]

So today was perhaps the hottest day of the year so far. Crazy weather. It reached 28c in the shade in ‘A’s garden.
I woke about 7.45am and was at the gym by 9.25am. There was a tramp on the train, in my carriage. I pitied him (he was drunk and didn’t smell very nice). Must [...]

Front page of today’s Telegraph Weekend section was an article about mothers who blog. Was fascinating. I was at ‘A’s and as soon as I opened the paper and saw the article I said “OMG I bet Hen is in this!!!”. Her blog wasn’t listed (probably much to her relief) but it was a very [...]
