Roast Chicken Gantt Chart

My partner and I were on our way home from a friend's house after climbing all day. Our friend had been slow roasting some lamb so their living room smelt amazing and on our way back, we decided we'd do a roast dinner. Since we got our slow cooker I haven't used our oven for …

Running Useful and Successful Meetings

Planning Without wishing to write 1000 words on sucking eggs, depending on the size/importance of the meeting, planning can range from sending out a calendar invite the day before to months of organising.

Some thoughts on Equality and Diversity

I’ve been told several times in my career that I’m really good at “boring tasks”. I love doing a good job and part of that means taking care of the hundreds of things that go on in the background.

Pattern idea: Waterfall Cardigan

Hi All, Another successful North London Stitch Up yesterday. We welcomed two new members into the group - Kay and Rachel. A lot of crocheting, which was nice as I've been working on a stripy blanket to use up as much of my DK as possible. Some of the yarns in this work in progress …
