Down the river

The view down the River Great Ouse to where it empties into The Wash. I wonder how many of those special, extra-tall electricity pylons there are around the country? I’ve only ever seen them where they span rivers, like in this case.

King’s Lynn Custom House (plus an early Christmas present for me)

I’ve been studying for a technical qualification for the past few months (an IT networking qualification that I need to achieve to progress some other training) and today was my exam. I was pretty nervous about it – I don’t do any practical hands-on networking stuff, so everything is theoretical to me and probably harder to memorise as a result. The exam had a few scenario-type questions that I struggled with and I was pretty certain that I was going to fail, so it was with a big sense of relief when I found out that I’d passed. I’m even more happy that I don’t need to keep up my revision over the Christmas break. 🙂

The photos today are all of the Custom House in King’s Lynn, a charming building that I’ve already posted a medium-format shot of on the blog here. It’s one of those structures that begs to be photographed, and you can see below that I certainly obliged.

Good news

I heard some very good news today. My son, who a few weeks ago was told he wouldn’t have a job at the end of his apprenticeship, was today informed that he had been successful in his interview for another job that he attended last week. It’s in the same field as his apprenticeship, so he will be able to put his experience to good use and further develop his career. I’m so very proud and happy for him.

This is a very nice thing to happen just before Christmas. 🙂

My son isn’t called “Lynn” but the picture seemed a good fit for the post.

Pilot’s office

Apologies for a lack of words in my recent posts. I’ve had a few very busy days and no real time to think what to write, so I’ve just been throwing images up and leaving it there. Today’s post isn’t much different, but hey, a few sentences at least! I may get chance to write something with a little more substance tomorrow.
