I’ve used all kinds of digital task lists and yet I still default to paper and pencil to leave myself a note for the most important thing to do next morning!

Should we formally adjust UK summer working and opening hours to include a siesta?

What have you unexpectedly found? Some months back I was in a museum storage/conservation building and realised the crate I was standing next to was labelled ‘Human Remains - Mummified…’ eek!

Happy Monday! It could be worse, you could be collating public procurement tender documents. Here’s a picture of the inside of my mind right now!

We are massive team supporters. No not sports teams, project teams! We know that sometimes we aren’t taking the ball to the line but help it on its way with teamwork all the same. If your project needs support, call us!

It’s been quite a week for projects - tenders reported on and signed off on one, brief set on another, spec reviewed on a third, lead in meeting for another, and a future scope agreed. That’ll do. Cheers!

I have never been brave enough to try one colour on walls and ceiling but any place I've been where they dispensed with the white ceiling looks great. There's something warm and personable about that enclosure - it seems to work especially well in Victorian and Edwardian homes.

Congratulations to everyone who just finished sitting their GCSEs. I remember it well. Whatever the results, you should be proud of the effort and endurance you have put in - that’s the stuff that will carry you through life, much more than any one result.

Trigger alert. I can’t help feeling they’ve done this on purpose!

In 1613 King James 1st lost his temper with his Queen, Anne of Denmark, when she accidentally shot his favourite hunting dog. So he gifted her the manor of Greenwich and built her a Royal pleasure palace: The Queen’s House. If you’re a King, flowers and chocolates won’t cut it!

Do you know what diversity is? The architect has great imagination, the QS loves numbers and rules, the structural engineer is physics mad, while the PM loves people and achievement. And that’s team diversity. Call us to lead it.

Once again we are proudly appointed to support Royal Museums Greenwich with schedules of condition at the Royal Observatory. The most photogenic of sites, it’s an absolute pleasure!

It looks even better when the evening comes!

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich!

Next up for us is an EV chargers install project. Much more to it than first appearances. Lots of new rules and regs to get to grips with and choices for sizes, types and billing platforms. Luckily the site has off-road spaces!

Great weather and I've finally got a job that'll take me to the coast, yay!
I can justify a stop at the beach can't I?
And just checking details now, it starts...
in November 😞
