Too much sugar makes Debbie dippy

Good evening one and all (well, one I guess...), its monday, its sunny and its adult learners week and we're kicking off in DOVE. We had reinforcements with us in the form of Jeanette, the newest member of the DCN team. Jeanette is trainee Community development worker with SCVS who will be our skivvy until september.

HA! Not really, (just until august..), no seriously, Jeanette will be with us every monday and thursday, and if she continues to pick up the skills as quickly as she has done today (she had a blog up and running by 11am!) she'll be a proper geek like Claire and myself. There's something for her to look forward to!


Speaking of Claire, she has just had the internet installed in her house and has taken her next major step towards nerdsville, square eyes ahoy!

We are bribing, sorry, I mean enticing learners into our pop in sessions this week with tea and cake, but we had loads left over today, and decided to treat the staff at the ARC to a well deserved sugar rush. However, I think the e-numbers had an adverse effect on Debbie, and following a few fateful bites she came over all adhd in the office! Not content with assaulting the phone in a chocolate fuelled frenzy, it was Julie (or should I say 'the fuhrer'?) who felt the force of her funny five minutes!

Then we hit up the old M4 and gunned it down to the ABC building to meet up with the Pantyffynnon Teen crew to help them with some editing and to set up a blog (which I think will prove to be very entertaining in the future).
