		<description><![CDATA[My goodness, time does fly&#8230; cruelly and quickly at times.
I&#8217;ve just noticed that it&#8217;s about a month since my last posting over here at Solent Dreams.
I&#8217;ve just been so wrapped up in my podcasting, job hunting and in helping the Lady Wife with her endeavours that I&#8217;ve simply forgotten about posting here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href="http://solentdreams.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/mban1219l.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-678 alignleft" title="mban1219l" src="http://solentdreams.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/mban1219l.jpg?w=346&#038;h=400" alt="" width="346" height="400" /></a><strong>My goodness, time does fly&#8230; cruelly and quickly at times.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve just noticed that it&#8217;s about a month since my last posting over here at Solent Dreams.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve just been so wrapped up in my podcasting, job hunting and in helping the Lady Wife with her endeavours that I&#8217;ve simply forgotten about posting here.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anyway, I had an interview last week for a job, although i don&#8217;t hold out much hope for getting it, the the experience is worth it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve also been looking for sponsors for my podcast over at the <a href="http://www.newforestpodcast.co.uk" target="_blank">New Forest Podcast</a> &#8211; I&#8217;m looking for a company / business / organisation to donate a H4 Zoom field recorder in return for a permanent link over at the </strong><strong><a href="http://www.newforestpodcast.co.uk" target="_blank">New Forest Podcast</a></strong><strong> as well as a mention in each show for the next year.</strong></p>
<p><strong>However, it&#8217;s been the job hunting that&#8217;s been getting me down as there aren&#8217;t the opportunities here where we live compared to the opportunities before.  To say that &#8220;it&#8217;s been getting me down&#8221; is really an understatement and that&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve thrown myself into the podcasting side, as a way of directing my attention elsewhere instead of moping around.  It&#8217;s also a release for my creativity and a way of joining in the world of podcasting&#8230; which I&#8217;m still hooked on.  Remember, I used to run Podcast Junky UK after all and yes, podcasting, it still grabs me.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anyway, Lady Wife and I went on a fabulous hike / walk along the cliff top &#8211; around 7 miles in total&#8230; and today, for me, everything between the tips of my hair to the ends of my toe nails&#8230; aches&#8230; and i really mean aches!  I wore my pedometer yesterday and I covered 17320 steps&#8230; yep&#8230; I ache.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Still, it was a beautiful day, wonderful scenery, a great pub lunch and a wonderful emotional salve that helps to soothe the sense of feeling down at not being able to get back into the work that I loved and loved to do for most of my career.</strong></p>
<p><strong>So it&#8217;s head up, chin out, try not to feel down, down, down and grit my teeth as some people seem determined to make my work life more difficult than it has to be.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Can&#8217;t lose hope.</strong></p>
