So what seems relevant to a woman in construction in Cambridge as we slide towards the end of 2015?

On being a woman...
Well I've just listened to a radio programme called the Misogyny Bookclub on the Story of Eve and it's impact on our view of women which has left me feeling pretty flat.

I still ponder the discussion on Woman's Hour about Women in Architecture and why they never get to the bottom of an apparent lack of success yet find lots of women architects to talk to (my view? talk to the ones who don't 'make it' and reevaluate what you call success and/or 'an architect').

I'll be 44 in a couple of weeks and I'm taken aback by the speed of all those "signs of aging"...I wanted to age gracefully and for that read gradually...

On working in construction...
Inquiries have been pretty steady but progression is a bit stop and start and I'm starting to see how one needs many projects in the pot in the hope that a few will go the distance.

Builders are busy and getting interest and having any idea of costs is a challenge.

On Cambridge...
Can you keep up with the changes?  We had a public consultation on new road layouts and social housing near us (Yay! It's not all £1million plus houses getting built).

and then, well, I guess we're thinking about Christmas and then a New Year and some new resolutions - watch this space.
