underoo's jumping june jamboree.
I've been having lots of coffees with people over the past two weeks, with a view to (subtly!!) reminding them of our existence in the hope that they might send work our way!! Anyway, this afternoon I had coffee with a neuro-scientist (and no, I'm not hoping to work in neuroscience :H) who was telling me about how much empirical evidence there is now of the effect that practices like mindfulness, meditation, thinking grateful thoughts and focussing on other people rather than ourselves make a difference to brain functioning.
There was an amazing women on MWO a few years ago, whose name I've forgotten, but she was a psychologist, and she had some very interesting things to say about all of that. I think some of her thoughts got incorporated into the Toolbox thread. Off to have a look then it is magazine in the bath and an early night for me!
TF - don't know when Mr B will find out about the job (he forgot to ask!!! :headbanger
but hopefully this week. We have a PLan B for if he doesn't get it (actually we have several PLan B's!!). I talked to the people in Sydney last week and asked whether they had any short term projects that I could come over for, or alternatively some contract work hat I could do here for them, but they really want a full-time permanent employee. That is still on the table as an option.
Looking forward to soup descriptions! I had my leftover parsnip, carrot and ginger soup for lunch today and it was as nice 18 hours later as it was last night!!
