As time goes by...

I didn't recognize how much time went by since my last post. January is a very busy time at work as well. Twice a year I have talks with each of my team members. We discuss what has been achieved during the last 6 months, what are the targets for the next period, we talk about the individual performance and make development plans. As you can guess this is really time consuming especially since it happens in addition to my "normal" work.
We also had a team building workshop appr. an hour away from where I live, and a meeting in Finland. Finland reminded me of Alaska, at least it had some snow.
At home we only had wind. Maybe you heard of the big storm "Kyrill" that hit Germany really bad 1.5 weeks ago. I was lucky, all that happened was that 3 trees are now standing in an 45degrees angle and have to be cut down. Unfortunately my insurance won't pay for it. They would if the trees were already completely on the ground....
During the last two weekends in England Dave and I explored the northern coast of East Anglia. It is a little bit more than a one hour drive away from Thetford. I love the ocean. Especially in the winter. It is rough and windy and not too many tourist are around. We walked there, had coffee at a nice cafe and took some pictures. The little towns along the shore are very nice, but I can imagine how busy they will be in the summer time.
Do you know about my photo pages (yahoo and flickr)? I added two links to this blog so you can look at my pictures there.
