Adapting Quality Assurance

It's almost 1am, and I'm actually studying... No, it's true! I really am... Been babysitting since about 6.30pm, and figured I could just as well benefit from staying awake and being bored.

We're (amongst loads of other things) doing a coursework in QA, where we are to convince the laboratory management in a lab to grant £1000 to adapt Quality Assurance. Easy peasy... Until you sit with your finger on the keyboard and think "soo, where do I start".. Been at that stage for more than a week now, hopefully it'll loosen up soon. All I know is that ISO 17025 is my fav. standard.

So, if you want to learn more about quality systems and standard manuals, why don't you study this one for a while......

Snowday

Early in the morning, on the 21st of November, the first snowflake fell in Aberdeen.

What started as a dark sky with a ray of light, was soon turned into a swirl of snow. But the temperature's not low enough. Most of the flakes never even hit the ground. From time to time throughout the day a thin layer of white could be seen on the roads, but wind and rain made it all less pleasant.

At 6pm the snow was just deep enough to make snowballs, and with cristmas lights up everywhere that old Yuletide feeling is just around the corner:)





Almost feels like home....

I wouldn't mind...

So, what do you get if you combine Scotland with acting? Something pretty close to gorgeous Gerard Butler, known from Phantom of the Opera, Laura Croft: Tomb Raider, 300 and Rock'nRolla.

How handsome can you possibly be?? And that accent makes me drooool. Wouldn't take me very long to say "I DO".

Enjoy...

Scottish Open Brass Band

On the 29th of November we're going to Perth to take part in the Scottish Open contest!!

The Bon-Accord Silver B-Brass Band has worked hard, with up to 3 rehersals every week the last month, and as the date gets closer, conductor Bruce gets even more frustrated...

Not even Bruce Almighty can sort us out! But we try our best, and I'm guessing it'll turn out pretty decent at the end.

So, since I've never been to Perth, I thought I'd do a quick Google just for the sake of it. It didn't take me very long to realise that something was way off with my geography... I had ended up in Perth, Australia:

So this is where we're NOT going...

This however..

..seems a bit more Scottish.

And apperantly this..

..is the Perth Concert Hall where the Scottish Open will be held.

Which again means that we'll be performing on THIS stage:


Not able to come along? Your loss... :D

Tea & Chocolate

Time to go to bed...

Rob and I have had tea and Norwegian chocolate (kindly brought to me by Tommy), and even though it's getting colder outside, nothing warms up like radiators, candles and a little "early" christmas music.


Made for the occasion;)
