A glorious spring morning in West London unlike yesterday which was pretty grey a d wet nearly all day.

It’s the Easter Monday Mixed Drive at Cambridge Park Bowls Club today. A day of friendly yet competitive bowls and really the last event of the indoor season. It will definitely be a mixed day as I probably won’t see a lot of these friends until the indoor restarts in October.

We start outdoors on Wednesday and will probably be wrapped up in fleeced, thermals and waterproofs!

Back to today. The Easter Chicken has already been out and about laying mini eggs all around the club. I’d offer a prize for who finds the most eggs but then they’ll know who is hiding in the chicken costume! Good job nobody will read this blog really or they’ll know I’ve flipped.

I’ve just finished reading “Heels of Steel, Surviving & Thriving in the Corporate World” by Vanessa Vallely (highly recommended reading) and she recommended writing a blog, so here I am expecting writer’s block already, which is not  very positive start, is it?

I’m not anticipating this to be a completely work orientated blog, bearing in mind I’m a very enthusiastic bowler, baker and amdram actress and I don’t really expect anyone to read it but sometimes writing things down can clarify things in your head as well as work as a reminder.

I have an interview for a new job on Thursday, having recently been made redundant for the first time in my 40 year working life, so today thought I’d try out the commute and pinpoint the interview location instead of panicking on the day!  Despite the weather, Covent Garden was heaving – good for the market stall holders and surrounding cafes who were doing great business.  Besides being in the midst of “theatre land” Covent Garden is a place where I always thought that it would be a lovely place for sitting outside on a summer evening with a glass or two of chilled wine, watching the world go by.  Maybe I’ll find out in the summer?!
