My Downshift

My name is Simon and this is the story of my journey on the downshifting path. According to the Oxford dictionary Downshift is a verb chiefly N. Amer. 1 change to a lower gear. 2 change to a less stressful lifestyle. That's what I am aiming for. After 20 years working in the City I seek a more fulfilled and balanced lifestyle for myself and family. That doesn't mean giving it all up ala Tom and Barbara Good, but I am making some changes, check out my first post, The Story So Far...

Monday 9 October

Cleaned front windows and portch inside and out and garage door. Looks better.

Took DVDs back which we'd reneted over the weekend. Kids films, but I did re-join www.lovfilm.com as they offered me 3 months for the price of one. Already had four movies from them so already in credit.

Attended my first maths for parents class today. The local borough are running it to help parents aid their children with homework. 2 hours of addition! Collected girls . Cooked roast chicken Delia style (blast the oven up high, open the chicken up and cook for just over one hour...lovely). SJ went to yoga.

I helped bambi make school project before bed.

When SJ got home we had another conversation about how she is not very happy at work. If I was working full time I think she would have quit. Found a possible vacancy at a more local firm to which she may apply.

SJ has her appraisal next week so things might get better for her after that.
