unpredictability

Well, I keep promising to get better at blogging and the weeks go by and I still have not.  Tahlia is a year and things seem to get more complicated!  Maybe one day I will get better, in the meantime I am going to stop promising.

What a year ….

I have worked full-time (funny hours though) with a supportive board; patient clients who have being prepared to chat at 8:00 at night; training trainers with a new- born in a pouch, running between an office and home with a baby, with lots of stuff and much organisation; a supportive husband and patient YiaYia (Cypriot for Grandmother) who traveled with me on business trips; amazing organisations who have accommodated my breastfeeding, and Thalia’s needs; and all many people who were quite happy to have a baby in the meeting.   The other enjoyable part is one minute you are working and the next chasing a baby around the floor with her crawling away and laughing. Some of who may have wondered what was happening to your proposal, reseach report etc! What did I do with all that time I had before?

In between this we have moved house twice in six weeks, moved offices in between and completed a new home. They say it happens in three's, lets hope so ….  Tahlia got sick just before her first birthday, with an unexplained high-fever for a lengthy period, which lead to some time in the Royal Children’s and lots of tests which was very scary and tough.  The staff were wonderful and so good with her.

So … to all the wonderful people and organizations who have support us over this year – a BIG thank you! Especially too:

Just wish to say that you sound like an amazing juggler. I too had a whirlwind lifestyle in London prior to my son being born 16 months ago!

I am just about managing to keep up with Masters in Creativity and Innovation at the Edward de bono institute in Malta! And a part-time job from home for the University of London.

Planning on visiting Oz towards end of year, will try and pop by the new offices. Keep up the good work!!
