Mid February and spring seems to be very close. Only a week ago, we had our annual dose of snow and today I have seen my first daffodil, plus Sainsbury’s has a special area for spring cleaning. I am happy to see daffodils but I am not going to be told when to give that extra special clean my house so I steer clear of that one! Is this global warming, consumer pressure or do we always get this happening in February? I can’t remember.

I am taking a welcome break from work and have 7 working days holiday, during which I need to concentrate on work of another kind; the dreaded dissertation. So far this is involving me reading books to help me assertain my philosopical position, and I am struggling with understanding exactly what people like Weber and Habermas are about. This is not necessarily going to help me do my research into action learning, but I have to write stuff that demonstrates some understanding of what I know and where my world view fits into the big world of research. When I work this one out you will be the first to know!
