    Lovely sunny morn here.

    And my office is now down to a comfortable 25.2 deg C.

    Much betterer than the 27.8 it was earlier.

          Contacting former clients for possible references always feels like saying "Hey, I'm going to sic this smelly leech on you at some random time in the near future. You're cool with that, right?"

                Written 2 more recipes up for t'blog.

                Am trying to get as many written up before I start on this gig. Looks likely the gig will be a long one and I need to have as many articles in store as possible to keep the blog going.

                  I've adopted a policy of only giving email addresses unless a referee specifically says they'd prefer to be contacted by phone. I figure it's easier to deal with an email without it being such an interruption.

                  Agents, of course, hate not being able to use the phone. But that's their problem

                    I do the same though if I do give a phone number it will normally be the generic company one.
