Learning how to use blogger

Finally getting the hang of using Google Blogger, although arranging photos on posts has been a bit of trial and error. Learnt how to use Google Drive today and have impressed myself by being able to use this to post links to the documents of my completed assignments and the feedback I was given.  Full marks to Google for producing such a simple system with great results and its free!!

I have to produce a reflective journal throughout my course which is all a bit of a new experience for me. I tried starting out with a scrapbook, then tried a PowerPoint, until finally settling upon the idea of this blog. It seems the ideal way to keep all my info in one place and store quick links to all the brilliant interiors websites and blogs out there. There is a bit of catching up with my journal to do as I am now working on assignment 3 (40 days left and counting!) so dates might seem a little odd on my posts. It actually takes about three months to study each module and produce the assignments.

Spent New Year covering myself in gloss paint as we finally got around to making a start on decorating the new stairs (after all its only a year since the extension was finished!!!). Still more to do and flooring to sort but hopefully I will get to post a picture soon. Of course our smelly basset hound is already doing her best to shake mud over the paintwork, so glad we did it ourselves rather than spending money on a professional!!! Next job is to sort through family pictures to cover the wall.

Busy designing a large Care Home at work which involves lots of electrical systems, so spending my days drawing up schematics. My technical drawing skills certainly came in handy for module 2. I am lucky enough to have a drafting program through work but the NDA also gives you details of how to access a CAD drawing program for free for the duration of the course. They also run workshops on technical drawing if you have no experience in this.
