one day in history

History Matters is wanting as many people to join in with it's blog as possible. I just blogged. Go and join in. If you want to know what my entry was I copied it below for you. You have until the 1st November to do your blurb.

Here's the linky thing


Yea for Tuesday! It means Monday is out of the way and there are only four more days until the weekend :)
Today is being especially boring. I was supposed to be on a Fire Risk Assessment training course because of the new regulations that came in place at the beginning of the month. There weren't enough delegates so the course was cancelled. I am booked in on the next course at the end of November.
I should really tell you about my job. I work for a volunteer bureau. This is like a job centre for volunteers. The main part of my job is to have a chat with people about volunteering and find them something suitable to do. I enjoy this because I love to chat to people. I hate the paperwork which goes with it. Paperwork is needed because we are funded by the local county and town councils and they want stats.
What else about me? Well I live in a town with a bad reputation but it really doesn't deserve it. I think it is no worse than anywhere else. The centre is being remodelled which is needed. There is currently a campaign to get people in London to move here. Locals think this is very funny because the main selling point is that it is only an hour by train. The town doesn't have a train station :D It's a 20 min car or bus ride to the nearest train. Also there are no amenities such as a shopping centre (being remodelled), night life, cinema or resturant. The general things that people,espcially from London, take for granted.
There is a castle. I pass this four times everyday. I have a horse, who lives in a field 6 miles from my house. The castle is on my route to look after him.
So back to work. Today is being taken up with making sure I have all my paperwork sorted and up to date. Tonight I have to attend college. I am studying IT. How computers work, rather than how to use applications and software. I did a course 20years ago straight out of school but technology has changed so much.
I have a blog, which is the height of fashion, so I will update it. I think that today I will copy this into my blog to promote this project.
The reason I am doing the "one day in history" is because I am tracing my family tree and love things like social history. It's great getting names and dates but to know how people lived in a certain era is interesting to me.
