I’ve been feeling very cheerful recently, because of my new job and also because the weather has become warmer and sunnier over the last few days.   Following our long cold winter, all the snowdrops and crocuses are out, and it won’t be long until the daffodils are out too.   Last year, I felt that I couldn’t enjoy spring properly because so many bad things happened in March 2009.

Last week I had my Polopoly CMS training course at work, which went really well.  I also had my official corporate induction session where I learnt more about the history of the company and the staff benefits etc.  After my training, I was then allowed to start setting up websites on the live server (previously I was only allowed to work on the test server).  I’ve also been editing stylesheets for several of the new websites, which has been fun and it has given me the chance to improve my CSS skills.

A couple of weeks ago I bought some books about XHTML, JavaScript, Photoshop and using WordPress as a CMS.   I’ve been reading through these in the evenings and at weekends.  I feel like I’m learning something new every day, which is good as I love learning.  Tomorrow I start a training course on another system called Prestige, which is used for publishing news articles to websites.

As mentioned in my previous blog post, I’ve applied to do a Photoshop evening course at my local college.  I sent off my application form just over 2 weeks ago, but I haven’t heard anything yet.  I just hope that the course will still be running, as it said that it’s subject to demand.  Anyway, it doesn’t start until the end of April, so there’s still hope!

Last Thursday I attended a quiz and chips night with the IVC social club.  It was good fun – there were 10 separate rounds and I had chicken and chips for my meal.  One of the people on my table kept cracking funny jokes which made me laugh.  It’s one of the best quiz nights I’ve ever been to.  My team didn’t win anything (there were prizes for the top 3 teams, and there must have been at least 30 tables as the quiz night was held in a big school hall), but I think we finished somewhere in the middle.

Talking of the IVC, over the last few weeks I’ve been building a new website for the club.  I’ve pretty much finished it now and it’s currently on a test server, so I’m just waiting for the chairman to give me the go-ahead to transfer it to the live server.  The new site will use WordPress as a content management system, so it will be much easier to edit and maintain than the existing site, which is all hard-coded in HTML.  I’ve enjoyed doing that and it will also be a good thing to add to my portfolio.

For Mother’s Day (well, the Saturday evening before Mother’s Day) I bought Mum and Terry a meal at Malaysian Delights.  We hadn’t been there for several months, so it was good to go back again.  On Mother’s Day itself, my grandmother came round for tea (we had roast beef) and my sisters visited us to give Mum her cards and presents.

This weekend has been very quiet and I haven’t really done that much, but I’m hoping to go on some walks round some local gardens next weekend.

I’ve been through a rollercoaster of emotions over the past couple of weeks. The main events that have taken place were my 26th birthday and my leaving date for my old job.

My 26th birthday took place on Monday and I had the day off work. I went for a walk in Wymondham, where we visited the Creme Cafe for a milkshake and cake. I then bought a book of facts (well, questions and answers) from one of the local book shops. In the evening, we went out for a family meal at Mambo Jambos, which is one of my favourite restaurants in Norwich. The food was served very quickly and the meal was good – the only bad point was that the chicken was a bit chewier than normal.

My main birthday present this year was a Nintendo Wii, which came with a Mario Kart game and Wii Sports. I played the Mario Kart game round my sister Suzanne’s house during the Christmas holidays and I enjoyed it, so that’s why I wanted to get my own Nintendo Wii. Other presents included a new silver necklace from my Mum, a Lady Gaga CD from Suzanne and a book about the weather from my sister Sarah.

It was my last day of my old job yesterday. It felt really weird walking out of the office for the last time, knowing that I’d probably never walk through that doorway again. After nearly 5 years, leaving your employer behind is a big thing. I had mixed feelings about leaving, especially as I had been there for such a long time, and when I first started working there I thought that I would stay there for most of my career. I never realised that the industry/economy would change so much and that so many people would have to leave. I worked in several different departments while I was there, picking up lots of varied experience and meeting many nice co-workers along the way. I always felt well-respected by my peers and I received good feedback from my managers and internal customers. Overall, I think it was a good place to work, it was just a shame about the instability and the fact that there were so many re-structures. I felt sad to be leaving my colleagues behind, although nowadays it is much easier to stay in contact with people using sites such as Facebook and Linked In.

Having said that, I’m really looking forward to my new job, especially as it’s been my dream for many years to become a web developer. It will be a great new opportunity to me, and I’m pleased that I’ll be able to undertake more training.

On my penultimate day, my manager presented me with a leaving card signed by the whole department, and they had also organised a collection for me. My leaving present was a £30 Chapelfield gift card. I didn’t have one of those large presentations where all your colleagues gather around your desk and you have to make a leaving speech. My manager thought I’d find that too intimidating, so he took me to one side for 5 minutes and gave me the card and present privately. I was surprised, but in some ways I was relieved as I was worried that I might feel upset doing a big presentation. I remember my Mum saying that she had a big presentation when she retired from her typing job a couple of years ago, and she felt a bit tearful.
I spent my £30 gift card on a Super Mario game for my Nintendo Wii. It brought back memories of when I used to play Super Mario games 20 years ago – a lot of the characters and music are still the same.

On Friday 5th February, I went out for a big family meal at Zaks restaurant, to celebrate being offered my new job. I know that seems like quite late considering I was offered the job in early January, but that was the only date when the whole family was available and not working.

You may remember that last year I had my blog turned into a book by a company called Blurb. I decided to re-do it so that I could include all my blog entries from January 2005 up until December 2009, so that it would cover a full 5 years’ worth of blog entries. This time, I had 3 copies of the book printed, so that I could give copies to my sisters. I handed out the copies at our Zaks meal. Sarah has already read her copy from cover to cover – she said that she couldn’t put it down and she also said that I should be very proud of it.

On Sunday, I went on a snowdrop walk in the woods around Morton Hall. I had never been on that particular snowdrop walk before, and I really enjoyed it. I took a lot of photos which I have uploaded to my Flickr page. As it’s been very cold this winter, some of the snowdrops weren’t yet fully open, but it still looked pretty. I love the flowers of spring, especially daffodils, snowdrops, crocuses and bluebells.

As I haven’t updated this blog for over a month and it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to write a proper update for several days as yet, I thought it was about time that I provided an explanation and put up a “on hiatus” message.

Why the long break? Basically, most of my free time is currently being taken up looking for a new job, as my current contract comes to an end next April and I’d like to find a permanent job as soon as possible because I don’t like too much uncertainty.

During the day, I am working in my current job as normal, and in the evening I spend most of my time filling in application forms, writing cover letters, researching potential employers, preparing for interviews and revising for tests. This means that during the week I have very little free time. I started looking for a new job 3 weeks ago today. So far I’ve had one interview (I should hear the result this week) and I have two more interviews this week. Preparing for these is my main priority at the moment.

I hope that this hiatus won’t last too long and my blog will be back to normal again soon. In the meantime, I am still updating my Twitter statuses so you can still find out what I’m up to. The next time I update this blog, I will hopefully have been offered a job!

The last few days have been very exciting, with several good things happening. Firstly, my Dad and step family have come over to visit from Thailand. They originally moved to Thailand in April 2006, as mentioned in my old blog entries here and here. Until last week, I hadn’t seen them for 2 years, so I was very pleased to see them all again. I was on holiday from work last week, so I was able to go out with my Dad and step family – on Tuesday we visited some friends and relatives, on Wednesday we went to Yarmouth and on Thursday we went to Sheringham and Hemsby. I like being by the coast, although it was too cold to sit on the beach. On Sunday we had a carvery at a restaurant in Hethersett, with Dad’s friend Alan and his wife. I went back to work yesterday, and fortunately there wasn’t too much of a backlog. My Dad and step family won’t go back to Thailand until Monday though, so I will still be able to see them this weekend.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been hard at work on my new online portfolio. Yes, I’m still a bit worried about what I will be doing in terms of a job next year, as there’s a chance my secondment will end in April and as my previous department was involved in a re-structure, I have no other job to return to. So I thought it would be a good idea to get my portfolio sorted out early. My online portfolio is mainly focussed on my web development and programming work, although I also have my CV and testimonials from co-workers on there, so I can mention it in just about any job application.
The website is almost complete now, in fact all I have left to do is finish the testing. During my testing I discovered that the layout doesn’t work well in Internet Explorer 6 – in fact it looked completely ridiculous in IE6! This created extra work for me, as I had to set the site up so that the default WordPress theme is displayed for IE6 users. The default WordPress theme (Kubrick) is very boring, but at least it seems to display correctly in all major browsers. Some people may say “Why bother catering for IE6 users at all, if they can’t be bothered to upgrade?”. Unfortunately, many internet users are forced to use IE6 and they have no choice in the matter – for example, where I work, everyone has to use IE6 on their office PC and we’re not allowed to install any other software. Of course, on my home PC I can install whatever I want. I imagine the situation is the same at many other major companies. Therefore, I have to be careful to ensure that my site is accessible for everyone. Once the site is fully tested and I’m happy with everything, I will put the link on a Twitter update.

On Monday my step-dad Terry bought a new LCD TV for the lounge. It is an LG with a 37-inch screen and built-in Freeview. It’s much bigger than the old CRT screen we used to have and the picture is clearer too.

At the end of July, not long before my holiday in the Lake District, you may remember I wrote a tweet saying I’d been offered a voluntary part-time web developer job at Norwich IVC, the social club of which I’m a member. I was offered the job because the previous web developer decided to quit the committee. At the beginning of September, I started working on the site, although it only takes me a few hours each week.

I haven’t made any changes to the design of the website, although I do hope to convert the site’s HTML template into a WordPress theme when I get the time, so that it will be easier to update. I’ve never actually created a WordPress theme of my own before, so I hope it won’t be too difficult. Over the last few days, I’ve mainly been working on the members’ forum, as I’m now the main adminstrator/moderator. I’ve also been sorting out the domain transfer, so that the domain and the web-hosting are both with the same company.

Even though it’s only a voluntary job (in fact, all the jobs in the Norwich IVC social club are voluntary) I think it will be a good way to gain more experience of developing websites. It will also be useful to add to my portfolio, which I haven’t got round to creating yet! I did have an online portfolio about 4 or 5 years ago, but it was very basic and it’s now very outdated, so I deleted it several months ago.

At work I’ve continued to build more self-serve reports in Oracle Discoverer. I’ve also been helping a co-worker to build some Recruitment self-serve reports – this brings back memories of when I was in the old Automation Team in the first 3 months of 2008 as our aims are similar, although I feel a lot happier now than I did back then. Oracle Discoverer is very different from Microsoft SQL Reporting Services (which is what I used in the old Automation job) and in many ways it is easier to use. With Reporting Services, it seemed to take weeks to build one self-serve report and get it tested and signed off, which really frustrated me as there was a lot of waiting around. That wasn’t totally the software’s fault though – part of the problem was that we often had to rely on other people to create the datasets and fix any errors, which added delays to the process. With Oracle Discoverer, I can build a simple report within an hour or so and all the datasets I need are already there.

In my old department, there is a weekly lottery bonus ball sweepstake. Most people in the department took part, and even though I left in May, the organiser still allows me to take part. (Several ex-members of that department still take part as well). On my first day back at work following my holiday, there was an email in my inbox saying that I had won the sweepstake for the previous week. I’d won about £80, so I decided to take Mum and Terry out for a meal at Mambo Jambo’s restaurant on Saturday 12th September. It was a good meal – this time I tried something different. I had what they call Reggae Chicken (a kind of jerk chicken), whereas usually I have Memphis Chicken, which is Cajun chicken served with sour cream. I had a butterscotch sundae for dessert, but I found it rather sickly so I didn’t eat all of it.

I applied for a couple of jobs last week – one is for a Data and Change Analyst and the other is for a Continuous Improvement Analyst. Both of these jobs sound very similar to what I’ve done in the past, with regards to improving existing reporting processes. The reason I’m applying for these jobs is because my current secondment is due to finish at the end of April next year and I don’t think it will be extended as a lot of reports will have been automated by then, so there won’t be so much work to do. There are nowhere near as many jobs available nowadays as there were 4 years ago when I first graduated, so I am a little bit nervous about what will happen in April next year. I haven’t heard back about either of these 2 job applications yet, but I thought it was best to start applying early, given the current situation. I will start looking for jobs more seriously in the new year.

That’s about it for now. September has been a good month so far.

I’ve had a very busy few days, with a number of happy events as well as disappointments. On Tuesday, my immediate department had an “away day” which is when we spend a day at a local conference centre and they organise presentations, talks and interactive sessions about various work-related issues. I took part in several group discussions and I was also picked at random to stand up in front of everyone and present my group’s ideas. I was a bit nervous about that, but it was only a quick 30-second presentation so it wasn’t too scary and I managed it fine.

We also had 2 free meals in one day! Let me explain: usually, when we go on an away day, they organise a buffet for lunch, and that’s what happened this time as well. (On a normal work day, people make their own arrangements for lunch). However, as it’s nearly the end of the year, they decided that we should all have a nice celebration meal in the evening as well, to celebrate our achievements this year. We had the evening meal on the same day as the away day – we went to an Italian/Mediterranean restaurant called Artorio’s, based on Riverside. I had never been there before, but it’s only been open for a few months anyway. The food was good and it was different to the sort of restaurants I would normally go to, so it was a nice change. They served up several different dishes of food, and you could put whatever you wanted on your own plate. My favourite dish was the chicken in a tomato-based sauce. For dessert I had rose-flavoured ice cream, which was very unusual. I had lavender-flavoured ice cream when I was on holiday, but I’d never tried rose ice cream before. I really liked it, but a lot of the others didn’t and they left some of theirs.

Now on to the disappointments: this is the second year in a row that our Bonfire Night celebrations have been ruined. You may remember that last year we missed the fireworks display because someone had put the wrong time on the events website, so that by the time we arrived, the fireworks had already begun and the gates were locked. This year, the official Bonfire Night fell on Wednesday (5th November), so a lot of people were holding their firework displays Saturday last week and today (in addition to Wednesday itself). The big Earlham Park firework display was held last Saturday, and that’s the one I wanted to go to, but heavy rain was forecast so we decided not to go in the end. I was really disappointed about that, but I read on the local news website that visitor numbers were only a third of what they usually are. I also had a hairdressing appointment yesterday, and the hairdresser said that some of her friends went to the Earlham Park display, but because of the heavy rain they decided to go home before the fireworks had even started! Apparently, they were soaked to the bone, and even their wallets and money were all wet! So now I’m glad we didn’t go.
As we missed Saturday’s display, we decided we would go to a local one at the Sprowston scout hut on Wednesday. Terry drove us there, and it was quite difficult to find somewhere to park, but by the time we got near the entrance gates, there were hundreds of people standing on the road, and the attendants told us that they couldn’t let any more people in through the gates as the venue was full. So a lot of people had decided to stand on the road and try to watch the fireworks from there, but we decided to go home as it wouldn’t be so much fun. There would have been no atmosphere and we wouldn’t have been able to see the bonfire anyway. So that was our second Bonfire Night event ruined. We think the reason why the venue got full up so early is because a lot of people who didn’t go to last Saturday’s display because of the rain decided to go to that one instead.
Then we decided that we would go to the big fireworks display at the Norfolk Showground on Saturday (ie today). Guess what? Rain is forecast yet again, so it’s unlikely that we will still go. In fact it started to rain about 5 minutes ago, while I am typing this blog entry. That’s the third fireworks display ruined! So Mum and I have decided to go to the cinema instead, to see the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace. Before the film starts we plan to have a meal at Malaysian Delights. So at least we will still have some kind of happiness this evening. I just hope that next year’s firework displays will be OK – it’s annoying that everything has gone wrong for 2 years in a row now.

At least something amusing happened yesterday – a lady at work (who works downstairs on the level below mine) decided to hold a cake sale at her desk to raise additional funds for the local hospital, as her uncle had recently received treatment there. I had never met the lady before, as she is based in a different department, but she had sent out an email inviting all the people in our wing of the office to come to the cake sale. So just after 10am I decided to take a wander down to see what was available. I was impressed at just how many cakes there were – we do occasionally hold charity cake sales on our floor, but they never seem quite so popular. A lemon cake caught my eye, but the slices were very big, so I had second thoughts about buying a piece. I looked around some more and I decided that I would have a slice of the lemon cake anyway, as well as a cookie. So I paid my money and then went back up to my desk. I had the slice of lemon cake on a paper plate next to my computer, and I was eating it gradually as it would be too much for me to eat all in one go. It had icing on the top and butter cream in the middle. Several of my co-workers teased and joked with me about the size of the cake – they kept saying things like “That’s a big piece of cake you’ve got there!”, “Is that a whole cake you’ve got there?” and one man even laughed and said, “That could kill a child!” These comments made me laugh and I was grinning to myself as I was eating the piece of cake. Even once I had eaten about 75% of the cake, someone wandered past my desk and said it looked like a big piece of cake, so I was thinking to myself, “You ought to have seen it when I first got it!”

I think I’ve finally managed to get Twitter working again. It seemed that I must have been using an old link on my mobile phone, so that when I sent a message via mobile web it didn’t work. However, I found out the correct link and I sent a test message, and fortunately it worked. So I will start using it more often now.

Thanks to everyone who has voted in the poll to help decide the name of my new website domain. At the time of writing, summer-bliss is in the lead, with 3 votes out of a total of 12. The other popular names are winter-dreams, raw-element and vanilla-dreams. However, in the last few days I have been a bit unsure about using the names with seasons in them – I’m planning to launch the new site in January and I just hope it won’t seem strange having a name with the word “summer” in it. Then again, the winter names would probably sound just as weird when it’s in the middle of summer-time. I do really like the name summer-bliss though. If I don’t pick that, I may end up going for raw-element, as that’s not specific to any particular time of the year. I’ll think about it some more over the next few days, and in the meantime I will start writing the content for the new site.

Last Sunday I went to PC World to buy some more ink cartridges for my printer, and while I was there I bought a Nintendo DS Lite hand-held games console. My friend Naomi got one of those for her birthday earlier this year and she has often been talking about how good it is (especially the brain-training games) so that’s why I decided to buy one myself. I bought the “More Brain Training” and “Maths Training” games to go with it. Unfortunately the store didn’t have the original Brain Training game, so that’s why I had to get the sequel instead, but it doesn’t matter what order you play them in anyway. I have been playing it every day so far (as recommended) and it definitely seems to be working, as my scores have been improving most days.

I decided to get the Maths Training game as I sometimes find it difficult to do mental arithmetic quickly (although I am fine at “written” maths, where you work everything out on paper). About 2 and a half years ago I applied for an internal job vacancy, and as part of the selection process I had to do a verbal reasoning test (English test) and a numerical reasoning test (mental arithmetic test) as well as attending an interview. I did well on the verbal reasoning test but my score on the numerical reasoning test was quite low because I couldn’t work out the answers quickly enough, and I think that’s one of the main reasons why I wasn’t offered that particular job. Thankfully I didn’t have to do a mental arithmetic test in order to get my current job. However, I wouldn’t want to miss out on any internal job opportunities/promotions in the future just because my maths is too slow, so that’s one of the reasons why I decided to get the Maths Training game to help me improve. Being able to do calculations more quickly will also help me in my current job.

On Friday night I went clubbing with my friend Kay again. It is good that we are getting back into the routine of going out more often, just like we did 3 or 4 years ago. Like last month, we met in the Glasshouse pub, although this time we went dancing at Mercy nightclub. We also met some people from our old high school. It was really good and overall I preferred it to the time we went out last month.

I’m seriously thinking of moving to a new domain in the new year. I have had the domain creamed-coconut.org for about four-and-a-half years now, and I feel like I want to start afresh. I would still keep this domain and all my existing blog entries though (I’d never want to delete them all; they are part of my history).

I would update the new site regularly and ensure it had new and exciting content and more features. I will start working on it over the course of the next 2-and-a-half months, and then make it available on 1st January 2009.

The only other thing I need to do is decide on a name for the new site. You will see that to the right of this post there is a poll containing a list of the possible names I’ve thought of this evening. I hope you will vote for your favourite option.

I’ve been meaning to update this all week, but haven’t felt like it until because I’ve been feeling tired and my eyes have been sore almost every day this week. Anyway, more about that later.

As I mentioned in a previous entry, my friend Kay added me as a friend on Facebook, which I was really pleased about as I hadn’t seen her for over 2 years. We arranged a night out last Saturday, which was very good and it was just like the old days again. She brought along Rachel (her friend from work), along with Rachel’s sisters Sarah and Charlene. There were also 2 other girls whom I hadn’t met before. We all met up in the Glasshouse, which I have to admit isn’t one of my favourite pubs as no music is ever played there. We probably stayed there for nearly 2 hours, but it went quite quickly as Kay was talking to me about what had been happening in her life for the last couple of years. She explained that she had recently split up with her boyfriend and she is now living back at her parents’ house. While she was with her boyfriend (about 3 and a half years in total), she didn’t go out very often and that’s the reason I hadn’t seen her for such a long time.

Later in the evening, we moved on to Lloyd’s at Riverside which is much livelier. However, at about 11:45pm everyone else decided to go home early, so it was just me and Kay on our own after that. Once the others had left, we went to the Chicago Rock Cafe for dancing. We would have gone to a different nightclub, but unfortunately I didn’t have any ID on me. (The minimum age to get into most places is 18, but apparently a lot of door staff have become much more strict in recent years and they will ask for ID even if you are well into your twenties). As I’m 24, I just didn’t think to bring any ID with me. A lot of the other girls had one of those credit card-sized driving licences, but as I never learnt how to drive, I obviously don’t have one of those. Therefore, I would have to take my passport with me in future, which does seem a bit awkward but that’s the only photographic proof of age ID that I have. It was still a good night though, and we hope to meet up again soon.

The following day was a Sunday, so I didn’t have to worry about getting up early in the morning. In the afternoon, once Mum had finished work we went to the Townhouse for a carvery, which was nice.

For some reason, I felt extra tired for most days last week and my eyes were stinging. Sometimes I find it difficult to motivate myself to go to bed early enough. One night I might be busy doing something which means I go to bed late (eg 11pm), and when I wake up the following morning to go to work I still feel sleepy and I think to myself “I will never go to bed that late again!” But then later in the day, I don’t feel quite so weary and then in the evening I get caught up doing something else (eg watching a TV programme, reading an addictive website or reading a magazine which I just can’t put down) and then I end up going to bed late yet again! So then I end up with sore eyes the next day as well. I wish I knew how to get out of this trap!

Additionally, this week at work has been quite difficult for me, as I’ve been having problems with certain databases (date formats in Access can be very annoying at times!) and also I’ve had to spend quite a bit of time trouble-shooting existing work, which limits the amount of time I can spend on new work. I’m currently putting together a troubleshooting guide to help people know what to do if there is an error when they try and run a database macro. I decided to do this of my own accord, and I’m hoping this will mean that in future, people won’t need to ask me for help quite so often and then I will have more time to spend on new work.

However, the week has ended well, as I managed to resolve some of the problems I’d been having. Also, one of my managers has told me that she is going to nominate me to be promoted to Consultant level (I’m currently what’s known as a Lead Adviser). Every 6 months or so, the head of the department asks all the team managers to nominate people who they think are ready to be promoted, and it seems like the nomination period is currently open again. So, for the next few days I have to gather evidence and examples of how I’ve been fulfilling the consultant-level competencies for the last 6 months, and I also have to gather feedback from other people I’ve been working with. Then on Thursday I will have a meeting with my manager to discuss the evidence/feedback, and then she will be able to complete the nomination form and submit it to the head of department for the decision to be made. If this bid succeeds, it could mean I become a consultant before Christmas! However, at the same time, I’m trying not to get too excited because I don’t want to get downhearted and disappointed if my bid doesn’t succeed this time. I realise how difficult it is to get promoted in this company and that if it doesn’t happen this time, it may well happen early next year. It was difficult enough getting promoted from Adviser to Lead Adviser (as my blog archives from the latter half of 2006 testify), so I expect that this may be even more difficult. Being a consultant doesn’t involve managing people or anything scary like that; it’s just a higher grade within the company. For the last 6 months, my Process Improvement lead adviser role has required me to organise meetings with co-workers (all within our department) to discuss the current reporting processes and how they could be improved. Two or three years ago, I would have found that rather scary, but I’m getting more used to it now.

Finally, I’ve managed to get rid of the “splash page” on this website. It had been there since 2004 when I first set up my blog. It served no real purpose, so I’ve wanted to get rid of it for ages, but it was only a few days ago that I found out how to get rid of it easily without affecting the rest of the site. I just went into cPanel and set up a re-direct, so that when someone keys in creamed-coconut.org into their browser address bar, it automatically re-directs them to creamed-coconut.org/wp, which is the main page of this blog. It works nicely, so now when someone visits this site, they get to the content straight away instead of having to click on the “Enter” button on the splash page.

That was a long post! I’m feeling hungry now, so hopefully dinner will be ready soon!

Nothing particularly exciting has happened in the last 7 days (well, nothing worth blogging about, anyway), so I thought I’d do an online quiz to see what it says about me…
