There are 11 courses that have been redeveloped, so 11 Learning Designers that need to be supported, and their work reviewed all before the end of next week.

Motorbike Test: Take III

Today I took my bike test for the third time. I failed. Again.

I decided to go with quite expensive items (leather jacket andContinueContinue reading “New bike gear – Safety first :)”

Vietnam: Sapa

Getting to Sapa is easy, as long as you don’t mind a 9-and-a-half hour train journey! I wanted to get tickets to get to Sapa quite quickly, but when I went to the Train Station on the 31st March, there weren’t any ‘soft-sleeper’ tickets available for another four days…well I didn’t want to wait THATContinueContinue reading “Vietnam: Sapa”
