My review of Speed Dating for Ghosts (an Xmas present from Martin) was accepted by GameFAQs. Short version: As titled, short and interesting.

A friend of mine from my previous role left the civil service today. Her leaving email made me smile, so I thought I'd share it. Also - all leaving gift vouchers should be spent this way.

Dear all

Well I can finally say I am going after what must have been the longest notice period know to man or woman.

I have really enjoyed my time at OME. A fascinating role with the AFPRB. I have been on some amazing visits to military bases, wearing inappropriate, but if I might be so bold, stunning shoes. I have managed to navigate my way around Navy war ships and speed boats, a tank and a medical RAF transport plane in these shoes, no mean feat (feet). All very exciting. I have worked with some lovely people (and Neil). I’ve enjoyed doughnut Fridays with Anne (who I am going to miss terribly). I hope to be allowed pop back in to say a proper farewell as and when we can all meet up face to face.

So, thank you all for your kind works in my leaving card, I am not 60 despite Neil’s comments!! I am really very touched. I will spend my voucher on something beautifully impractical.

Best wishes to you all

One thing I rarely see in Ashford is the stars. However, tonight it's dark and Orion (and the dog star) are clearly visible even from our road. I hadn't realised how much I missed star gazing until I spotted them.

I was disproportionately pleased today to discover that the holly tree still has plenty of red berries. This meant I could replace the slightly withered display on the table with a new one.
