Our New Logo…
You may be wondering why i’m blogging at 5am? Or you may not have noticed the time this entry went on-line? (Or perhaps you just don’t care… which is fair enough because you didn’t log on here to read about insomnia, after all)!
Well…for the minority who are (at best, mildly curious); the truth is that I have been up all night trying to complete another spread-sheet for our lottery application. The lovely girl (Susanne) who used to do all the clever maths type stuff is not very well (poor her). And I am… erm… working outside of my own ability, to put it mildly!
This is what I don’t understand; my horizontal columns all add up. My vertical columns all add up. My final, total amount does not! Why? Why?!!! And the margin of error is not a few pence, it is hundreds and thousands
of pounds!
…So if any nocturnal mathematicians stumble across this, or… you know… of you just happen to be an accountant (or an A-level maths student; I’m not fussy)! Then please, pleeeaaaaze call me right now!
You have my number; I know it’s the middle of the night – I don’t care! I’ll pay you! If you can make my spread-sheet work before 9am I’ll give you £100! (My own money of course – not charity funds!!!) OR I’ll take you out for dinner. Just HELP ME!
The photograph of me (above ) was taken by Graham in Sri Lanka. It’s not the bast picture (but it was taken at night so I thought i’d continue the theme). If only I knew a Sri Lankan mathermatician… It is day time there now… (mmm… it will soon be day time here too. GrrrRR).
That aside, I thought I’d cheer my sleepy self up by posting our wonderful new logo! I LOVE it! I have been soooooo excited waiting for the finished version! Well, what do you think?
The logo was designed by Joanne Broda and Susanne Barrett. Susanne is a close friend of mine (we lived together at uni). She knew me many, many years ago when I suffered from an e.d. and – of course – she knew my darling Graham. Joanne is in recovery from anorexic and bulimia and received intensive treatment in Germany. She has been symptom free for almost a year now. And she is beautiful! Both Susanne and Joanna spent many months designing and perfecting our logo – free of charge – because they believe in the importance of the graham menzies foundation. I am deeply grateful (more about them later) xxx
A little bit of trivia… over a thousand people are reading this blog every single day! It’s 5am and 350 people have already checked-in (and remember… if any of you happen to be good at maths)…
On the other hand…if you are going to sleep, then nos da, sweet dreams, rest well.

This afternoon I met with Elin Jones at her Aberystwyth office.
She was soooo enthusiastic, supportive and helpful! We talked about plans for a residential unit and discussed possible caused for the development of anorexia and bulimia.
Elin is going to look into property options for us…and see if WAG can help, Yay!
Thanks Elin Jones!
