Aaaaaaah, August again

by

Happy Yorkshire Day! Like last year, I will be starting the day at home in Yorkshire, however, we’re off down to the Midlands later today. We’ve only just come back from our holiday in Wales, but this time it’s for a family event. We’re celebrating a big number birthday for one of my cousins. And yes, we had a nice time in Wales.

August is also my busiest period at work. Results Day for A-level students is on the 14th this year, and as I work in university admissions, I’ll be exceptionally busy either side of that date. This includes some later finishes on weekdays, and Saturday working.

As such, there will be lots of blog posts written in advance that’ll be going live over the course of the month. Many of these will be what we did on our holiday in Wales, and I’m sure there’ll be more posts about our electric car as we get used to it.

Welcome to August

It’s the 1st August today. That means that it’s Yorkshire Day, and for once, I’m actually in Yorkshire as normal on Yorkshire Day for the first time since 2020.

But August is also my busiest month of the year at work. I work in university admissions, and the 15th August is the date when most 18-year-olds get their exam results, so there’s a lot of work to be done either side of this date. I’ll be working longer hours that day, as well as a couple of weekend days.

What this means is that most blog posts this month will have been written in advance. I still have the rest of our holiday to write up, which you’ll hopefully see over the next couple of weeks. And I’ll try to intersperse these posts with other topics. But there’s also a good chance that I may fall behind on my aim to publish a new blog post every other day, if I don’t manage to get enough posts written ahead of time.
