Plans, plans and expectations

The picture is from Doghousediaries and if I could draw to save my life I would add a few crocodiles to the pond. But I cannot, so the rocks, the ladders and the hail will have to do.

Also the fact that it took me the best part of four hours to find this cartoon again, would be a good indicator that I don't give up easily. yes, I don't.

But sometimes it's good to remind oneself that there is always a different way of doing things and given enough time, I will find it.
Here are slides of a talk I gave in October 2012. The picture is very appropriate.
