Is Spring on Our Doorstep?

A Glorious Weekend

Oh, splendid souls of the UK, have you felt the gentle caress of spring teasing us lately? The sun’s been strutting its stuff, albeit with a bit of a cool breeze. But fear not, for where there’s sun, there’s bound to be fun!

The Resurrection of BS (Building Surveyors) Walkers

Guess who’s back, back again? It’s none other than the BS Walkers group, brought back to life by the one and only Mike Dutson, also known as burylad in the virtual realm. The man deserves a round of applause for reviving our beloved walking troupe. You can catch up on the gossip and plans on their website [here]. Oh, and they’re social media savvy too, with a Twitter handle (@muddyboots100).

Missing Out on Pendle Hill

Today marked the kickoff for this year’s walking escapades, and guess who missed the bus? Yours truly! Blame it on a wild night of revelry, but I heard whispers that the gang had a jolly good time around Pendle Hill near Burnley. Oh well, there’s always next time.

Work, Work, Work

Ah, the drudgery of the nine-to-five grind! This week was no different, with work piling up faster than the office coffee machine runs out of beans. But hey, amidst the chaos, there were some highlights. Yours truly had the pleasure of attending the RICS National BIM Conference in London. Fancy stuff, right? You can catch the scoop here.

A Day in the Big Smoke

Picture this: the crack of dawn, a blaring alarm, and off I went to catch a train to London. The day started at an ungodly hour, but hey, sacrifices must be made for the sake of knowledge. The conference itself was a whirlwind of coffee breaks, riveting speakers, and scrumptious lunch options. Beef stroganoff or chicken supreme, anyone? After soaking in all that brain food, it was time to bid farewell to London town and head back home.

Football Frenzy

But wait, the day wasn’t over yet! A mad dash home awaited, all for the love of football. Real Madrid versus Manchester United in the Champions League—a clash of titans not to be missed. Goals were scored, cheers were heard, and the stage is set for a nail-biting finale in three weeks’ time.

Green-Fingered Adventures

Amidst the hustle and bustle, I managed to steal a moment in the front garden. Tidying up here, planting bulbs there—soon, my little patch of earth will burst forth with a riot of summer blooms. Oh, the joys of gardening!

Long Live Spring

Here’s to hoping that this delightful spring weather graces us with its presence a while longer. Let’s soak up the sunshine, relish in the warmth, and bask in the beauty of the season.
