Moored narrowboat with faded paintwork in sunny morning light. The towpath is to the left. The boat is pictured from the front. The outside bank has trees in early spring leaf. The sky is bright blue and is reflected in the water around the boat.
Say hello to Anson! We're 4 days into our journey to bring her home - learning very quickly that narrowboat-time is very different to modern-day time-as-we-know-it. #narrowboat

The ISO document that this article talks about is 14 pages long. I don't know what's in it or whether it's somehow groundbreaking because I'm a tad unwilling to shell out the Β£85 it costs. If international adoption of plain language is the goal, I'm not sure ISO is providing the key to success.

Negative mum-points for sleeping-in, completely forgetting my daughter was even here and needed to get ready for school. Positive mum points because she'd got herself up, dressed and lunch-prepped. On balance, a magnificent win.

Photo of a leaded window taken from inside. There's a bright blue sky and morning sunshine causing a reflection of a crescent moon shaped disco ball ornament. There's also a reflection of the shadow that this ornament makes on the wall.

Tuxedo cat looking extremely grumpy, glaring at something out of shot.
Cropped photo focused on a tuxedo cat's frowning face.
Tuxedo cat looking extremely smug with eyes closed, lying on a flattened cardboard box, with a laundry basket behind.
My cat has been the perfect host for a female feline guest this week EXCEPT when she claimed his recently favourited box for a bit. His facial expressions say it all.

So many weird hangovers from the days of print. 'The way things are done here' is handed down from person to person. It takes a strong mind to ask "Why?" so things can be done better.

Training
Online training for learning about, and developing accessibility awareness and knowledge.

Working in the open means anyone can complete it regardless of who you are or where you work or what you do.
