Mature Reflection: Protect Yourself At Work
http://maturereflection.blogspot.com/2013/08/protect-yourself-at-work.html
Observations and opinions in a complex world. The older I get, the less certain I am that I'm right. Tuesday, 20 August 2013. Protect Yourself At Work. If you are in employment, it makes sense to protect yourself. Things happen, often out of the blue, and the best time to do this is before anything happens that makes you even think about it. Here are a few things you can do:. 3 Keep all of these things - or a copy of them - at home. Should the day ever come when you get into difficulties, or just get...

Mature Reflection: April 2012
http://maturereflection.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Observations and opinions in a complex world. The older I get, the less certain I am that I'm right. Wednesday, 25 April 2012. A roof over your head - but where? So what has happened that has led to Waltham Forest, and other London councils, forcing people to move to parts 'as far flung' as they said on the BBC as Walsall, Stoke on Trent and Luton? This Government has capped the amount of Housing Benefit to be paid at £21,000 a year. A good populist policy - they get how much? So what's the answer? We ha...

Mature Reflection: April 2013
http://maturereflection.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Observations and opinions in a complex world. The older I get, the less certain I am that I'm right. Wednesday, 17 April 2013. All Prime Ministers should be treated equally. If there is one day in all our lives on which we are entitled to expect unqualified praise, then surely it is the day of our funeral. There have always been great Prime Ministers, average Prime Ministers and some who frankly will scarcely trouble the computer keyboards of future historians, and hopefully, as long as we have a democra...

Diary of a Desperate Exmoor Woman: Magma in the heart - a super-volcano of emotion
http://exmoorjane.blogspot.com/2015/05/magma-in-heart-super-volcano-of-emotion.html
Diary of a Desperate Exmoor Woman. Juggling life - and generally dropping all the balls. Wednesday, 20 May 2015. Magma in the heart - a super-volcano of emotion. I feel the urge to speak in Greenish. Did you know that there are more shades of green recognised by the human eye than any other colour? How come we do it such a disservice? Maybe because we are more enamoured of grey? Mind you, look at this - a Colour Thesaurus! Not bad, not bad.but still. And I went on Pinterest, as you do, looking for some k...

Mature Reflection: February 2012
http://maturereflection.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Observations and opinions in a complex world. The older I get, the less certain I am that I'm right. Tuesday, 21 February 2012. For F* *'s Sake Stop All The Swearing! For those feeling that for the period of Lent they should abstain from something that they really enjoy, but can't bear the thought of not drinking alcohol, eating chocolate or committing serial adultery, I have a suggestion. Give up swearing on Twitter. Please. You have only to stand close to a group of young people - whether or not they w...

Mature Reflection: May 2012
http://maturereflection.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Observations and opinions in a complex world. The older I get, the less certain I am that I'm right. Wednesday, 30 May 2012. The Right To Vote For Prisoners. David Cameron says that the thought of prisoners having the vote makes him feel ‘physically ill’. I could suggest any number of issues that should have priority for the Prime Minister’s nausea. Just for starters:. Vital benefits taken from disabled people, the chronically ill and their families;. We send people to prison to punish them, protect soci...

Diary of a Desperate Exmoor Woman. Juggling life - and generally dropping all the balls. Friday, 20 February 2015. Peter Oborne, the Telegraph, travel writing and Queen of Retreats. So, following Peter Oborne’s resignation from the Telegraph. Magazine, there was an absolute insistence that advertising could not, and must not, influence our writing. Since then it has all become blurred to the point of illegible. I came across this outfit a few years ago, when I was looking for independent recommendations ...

Diary of a Desperate Exmoor Woman. Juggling life - and generally dropping all the balls. Friday, 15 May 2015. Man and Superman - it's a (National Theatre Live) Shaw thing. Do you and James fancy coming to the cinema on Thursday, with me and Gabs? Said Rachel. 'My treat.'. Turns out she had tickets for Man and Superman. By George Bernard Shaw. But that's a play thing,' I said. It's a National Theatre Live. Thing,' she said. It's got Ralph Fiennes in it.'. You know.Ralph Fiennes? There was a very long pause.
