w.atching the w.orld unw.ind

A timing command given to rowers
A sensual caress
A blow – as in “with one fell stroke..”
And …


My (current) boss is, imho, a minor deity. I relieved him of his job nearly fifteen years ago, releasing him to move elsewhere in our little world, and thus began his apotheosis.

I’d like to think that since then, we’ve enjoyed trading off of each others’ abilities and qualities, which do seem to mesh well.

Yesterday, I spotted something which had been wrong for a couple of years. With a few deft strokes of his pen – and against all the unwritten rules about research, analysis, launch plans etc. etc. - he edited it in true ‘back of a fag packet’ style and said “Mr.D., make it so”.

In a world of strict regulations, spontaneity is sometimes something to be admired.

And in other news … a blonde in black silk trousers on the train this morning had the cutest bum (well, DOMs need loving too!)
