CJS Weekly is now online

This week has been quiet the advertisers know KH is having a holiday. Monday's edition of CJS Weekly has just about finished printing ready for dispatch. It's 8 pages this week; there are 50 jobs of which 34 came direct.
We are not looking forward to the torrential rain forcast for this weekend, hope you stay dry and warm.

End of the week

As it's now Saturday you'll realise it's been a rather long week!
HB has had a series of small disasters at home, one of our computers is still not working and is causing it's own series of problems and on Friday one of our other print jobs had to be partially re-done (not our fault I hasten to add) slowing up production of the Weekly. It was all finished, eventually - but there are still lots of small tasks to be completed / caught up with, hence the Saturday update. Anyway the Weekly is now with Royal Mail and will be with you on Monday, digital copies have been available since late yesterday.

And in the midst of it all we're playing with the beta of Office 2010 prior to a massive software upgrade later in the year. Gluttons for punishment obviously...

Weather is still white and cold filling the garden with birds. KH gets a week off next week and was intending to spend a week in the garden tidying up and finishing the winter pruning that's not been yet done; a week of hibernation seems more likely.

Weekly update

A bit later than usual, but at last time for a quick update. We've been having one of those weeks, compounded by a new computer which is short on memory and struggles with anything more than basics - ho hum. Anyway, the website has had a fair few adverts this week and Monday's edition of CJS Weekly has just about finished printing ready for dispatch. It's 13 pages this week plus March's events calendar which is another two; there are 118 jobs of which 83 came direct.

CJS Monthly

The February CJS Monthly has now been published. Four pages this month plus a further three of events, all freely available online. Postal deliveries permitting paper editions will be with you on Thursday.

CJS Focus on Volunteering

20 pages of fascinating articles and information, loads of useful contacts and hundreds of volunteer placements and projects.

This year's edition is in association with BTCV; there are articles from RSPB, Wildlife Trusts, British Waterways, Forestry Commission and more.

Another busy week

The website stayed put this week which helped quite a lot, however the machinery in the office decided to have a holiday! And the server is making strange noises, just a faulty fan apparently so nothing to worry about...
Weather is much warmer today and most of the snow and ice has now melted but there's still some in the hedge bottoms and folds on the moor. One piece of good news is that our siskins seem to have returned, they've been absent all winter with only the odd one or two irregular visitors but this week they've been back in, if not the same numbers as before then much higher than of recent.
The Weekly edition is now printing, 10 sides this week with 81 new paid posts of which 69 came direct AND this week's edition contains the CJS Focus on Volunteering, all 20 pages of it! Happy reading.
