Blood, sweat and…humphing

Posted on February 7, 2016 by thepogblog

I am like a child when it comes to going to bed: I don’t like to go early in case I miss out on something important. But yesterday I had another all day upholstery course and after quite a long … Continue reading →

I’ll never be a YouTube star

Posted on February 5, 2016 by thepogblog

Last night I thought I’d try to be helpful.  I’d recently told Mum and Dad about a duvet trick I’d seen online (it’s been around forever, looking at the dates of posts – we may well be the only three people … Continue reading →

A smile challenge instead?

Posted on February 2, 2016 by thepogblog

I never post my opinion about bigger things on here, mainly because I am scared people will disagree and I am a coward.  It’s a lot easier just to let people laugh at me.  I’m going to try it though.  … Continue reading →

Dragons and uneven stripes

Posted on January 31, 2016 by thepogblog

When I crochet I like things to be symetrical.  This doesn’t aways work, especialy if I’m making up the pattern but the intention at least, is that things should match.  At the end of last year Sister 2 saw this on … Continue reading →

Bendy to (almost) broken

Posted on January 26, 2016 by thepogblog

On Sunday afternoon, after 11 hours of yoga over the previous 48, I was feeling very stretched, bendy and relaxed.  Today (with an additional fitball class last night), I can barely move.  And I have another 1.5 hours of yoga this … Continue reading →

A little break and a little pep talk

Posted on January 22, 2016 by thepogblog

I am so excited.  In a few hours I’ll be leaving for a short yoga retreat.  Am I jetting off to sunnier places?  Um no.  I’m going (according to Google maps) 18 minutes away from my house.  But that’s ok … Continue reading →

Most of the people in my office are at an event in the US this week.  That meant that I got to work from home yesterday and today and this has many benefits: I get an extra few hours in … Continue reading →

Interviewing Pog style

Posted on January 19, 2016 by thepogblog

Towards the end of last year I got a weird phone call: a colleague wanted to put me forward for a job outside of our company.  I was flattered, then I read the job spec and I was terrified, then … Continue reading →

Fun and games with little people

Posted on January 17, 2016 by thepogblog

It must be complicated to be two years old. You understand what a monkey is, then someone tells you that some of them are also called gorillas. This makes Litte Pea very cross as he informs you, in a very … Continue reading →
