Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

A trip back in time.....



All my plans for my blog this week were scuppered as I was unable to write about an event I was going to attend yesterday but due to an injury my daughter sustained on Friday evening and she was unable to take part in the Annual Inter Counties Judo Competition yesterday.




As I logged on to the internet this morning ('Metro' hadn't inspired me on the way to work this morning and I was racking my brains for inspiration, which can be hard first thing on a Monday morning) and went to the "Google" home page a little smile appeared accross my face as today is Roger Hargreave' s 76th birthday and Goggle have decided to have several background images to celebrate his birthday.




I used to love the Mr Men books as a child as did my daughters. So much, that when I used to read the books to them before their bedtime, when they were little, they used to finish off the sentences for me. I didn't only just read the Mr Men and Little Miss series if you're thinking poor girls is that all that was read to them, I think I ended up knowing word for word certain 'Thomas the Tank Engine', 'Winnie the Pooh' and various Disney stories as well and I couldn't even skip a page or two to finish the story quickly as they knew that parts of the stories were missing and would tell me so!!!!




So if you fancy a trip down memory lane go to the 'Google' home page where you can see Little Miss Sunshine, Mr Messy, Mr Tickle, Mr Bump and other characters.........

    And not just memory lane....I get to watch Mr Men every morning with Ava, along with Thomas the Tank Engine - just goes to show that the oldies are the best and can stand the test of time.

    Don't you just love what Google do with their home page? Did anyone see the Charlie Chaplin short they made a few weeks back - pure genius? Although I'm going to show my ignorance and ask - what is today's graphic all about (Wed 11th May)

    Of course, it's Martha Graham - 117 years old and still dancing, wow!
