Quick Update

A lot of water has passed under the proverbial bridge since my last post so here is a quick update on things:

Jamaica
Spent a great two weeks in Jamaica, saw a good bit of the island and met some great people. My personal high spots were the jerk pork at the Pork Pit, the Bob Marley Museum, Treasure Beach, the Blue Mountains, climbing up Dunn's River Falls, Jamaica Rum, brilliant sunsets, and discovering that Red Stripe also came in very large bottles!

Topsham RFC 
The First XV have secured promotion from Devon 1 to Cornwall and Devon, well done lads, a good win at South Molton did the trick. Sad news that our player/coach Ross Bovingdon, who has been hugely influential over the past few years, has decided to step down due to other commitments. The Colts have also done well this season, narrowly loosing to Exmouth in the plate final at Sandy Park.

Why Projects Really Fail
There has been a steady demand for copies of the white paper so I hope it is having an impact on people and organisations out there.

What Next
Topsham outdoor swimming pool opened while I was away and I'm now opening it up at 06:00 (for the appropriately named Nutters Club) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

It being Friday today I will be adjourning to the Bridge Inn at 18:00 for a couple of pints after work. Nice to get back to real ale after all that Red Stripe!
