Perspective Loss

Modern Savings

April 29, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

Individuals often spend without thinking but it’s not something you’d want a government to do. What you’d want to see is a reasoned explanation of the proposed expenditures and the sources of the budget to fund them. The evidence should be documented with no less detail than a judicial summary of a trial. The same care and detail should documented for the management of public health.

Day 27 (or not)

April 27, 2021 by Simon Robinson 1 Comment

Today isn’t our Day 27 on the way to Rome. We’re not making our 24th hike. The discrepancy is that we plan to rest on the seventh day of every week. If we were out on the trail, it would be categorised as an easy 19 km in the Pas-de-Calais. We’d have set out from Wisques after a good breakfast from accommodation unknown. I checked the weather – cloudy but only 9C. Perfect for a hike and another chat. Assuming we’re still talking to one another.

Bath 20130427. Who knew there’d be a (tenuous) Roman connection to this date in my lifetime?

Career Breaks

April 23, 2021 by Simon Robinson 1 Comment

‘Gaps are what you make of them.’

That’s how I concluded what I wrote about gaps a few days ago (Posts and Gaps). And gaps as lacunae have been on my mind ever since. One space holds a story a colleague told me a few years after he retired. It’s a topic that didn’t come up at his funeral though it passed though my mind on the way to the service.

‘I see there’s a gap in your CV’ is what he said to a very strong candidate during an interview for a senior management position.

There’s a Giant’s Ring near Shaw’s Bridge, outside Belfast, dating from 2700 BC.
Last seen by us this day in 2016, I wonder when we’ll be able to go back.
