A little catch up since my last blog post... I'm still here just more present on Instagram these days, I like the ease at which I can post a photo I've just taken with a little heading or status and it's done. You can find my private account where I share everyday life @jobo74 and a public account for all... Read more →

A good week (that's friday to friday in this instance) included leaving one job and starting another. It was a bit sad to leave Costa, was just getting the hang of making all those different drinks (subject of scrapbook layout 'How Many?' below).
