It's Thursday so it must be the day for Lancaster! For once I don't turn up at Reggie, receive £200 or pass go. Instead I wake early, blink the news, format it for Nicola and once dressed hightail it up Norf for a Library Managers meeting. Whereupon many a tale of woe is unfolded (including plans to bulldoze the Royal's library) etc. Meeting is good and positive (even the unexpected unplanned interruption by mobile - not Monst who I was expecting to call with news of the need to head to Scotland requiring an early departure but the SHA with an FoI matter that was urgent). My lunch was the occasional bite of sandwich and an email with guidance to write.
Meeting was good and nice to meet up with the library folk. Tracy took the piss out of me nicely too! Home and a game Cranium Cadoo with Cal, cook and then wash up. Lordy it's an exciting life to be sure! Learn strange things about bats too!

Catch Up
Friday
Get pissed off, get it off my chest, get more pissed off as a result of the response to my response to being pissed off and don't sleep. Not good and stoopidity on my part. Printout the stuff that Jo sends me for Monday. Saturday Sleep, wake, eat, sleep, get pissed off. By now I'm knackered and stoopid. Begin reading the Runner Sunday Aaaargh! Oversleep as a result of being awake on Satuday when I should have been asleep, asleep when I should have been awake. Run round the house tidying, split the pair of trousers I'm wearing, get a replacement pair sorted and then run around tidying up. Shove on food and clock watch, head to the airport. Fetch 'Ice Age 2' and a 'Scooby Doo' for the boy as requested by phone from London. Arrive at the airport ten minutes before landing time and whaddya know the flight is delayed, grab a nice coffee. Pick up the folks, who I miss as they come through the departure gate because my nose is in a book. What do you expect, I'm a Librarian! Poor Monst is shattered , bring her up to speed on Margaret and agree she'll head Norf on Tuesday, she then repairs to bed pretty fast and Cal watches the Scooby Doo. I'm now getting scared because I'm facilitating tomorrow. Read through my stuff, kindly provided by Jo. Monday This is the big one, proper. All prepared last night, things that needed flattening are flattened, head into Reggie early, do a warm up search. Head to Lace and it's the Big Health Debate. Fetch me a coffee, sort out my table, mill around enjoying light gossip and psych myself up. Its an event I've been looking forward too because I've not seen deliberative research in action and its high on the involvement of real people as opposed to time served folks looking to have a crack at the local NHS. My table is made up of NHS and Stakeholder folk. Nice bunch, the conversation flows. Jo sees me right for coffee. The day flies, in addition to taking notes on the laptop, keeping the debate going when times are flagging we're bootlegging the event too so there are tapes to change. Lunch is a nice break, the afternnon I dunno where that went (do know Tracy contacts me with Liberty problems). End of the day I'm shattered. A bunch of us head to the Brookhouse to unwind with a drink. Very staid and controlled, single pint, chat, unwind. Then the orders from home come for a halloween costume for the boy and a meal from the Ying Wah. Werewolf or Vampire are the only choices left, these are deemed too scary by the boy. Home, feed the family. Bed! Tuesday OK I'm convinced that Tuesday is Monday, because Monday is out of sync. Plan on working from home but my switch everything off and start again strategy for Liberty didn't work. Try sorting it from home and it don't work. Need to be in to have access to phone numbers etc. Also need to drop Monst at the station for her dash up Norf. Also need to nip into Sainsbury's because Cal needs a costume now for Beavers and has selected the vampire option. Call Stevie P., prime him about what the score is. Contact Softlink and between Steve, Tracy, Chas and myself we kind of begin to get to the bottom of things. Fit in a meeting I've forgotten for C&M Librarians We've corrupted our borrowers (not as fun as it could have been I'm afraid). The worst is I have to leave at chinese dentist in order to be home to meet Cal from school. Then dash him to the opticians for 4.30. Eat, somebody calls to cancel Beavers so the vampire kit is not required. We feed trick or treaters but as its raining things aren't too bad. Cal is good and helps himself to a relaxing bath and heads to bed. I meanwhile have hassles with my web connection and end up resorting to vegging in front of the TV and chatting to Monst on the phone. Wednesday Up early, still no web connection which is a pain in the arse. Can't sleep (this is 4.30) catch up with some reading and stuff. The boy wakes, feed him, get him ready for school and packed off, into work. Borrowers get sorted - we lose lots of records. Still suffer from slow net connections. Chat to various people including Stevie P., Chas, Ingrid (who tells me the Wirral is a county as far as NHS Athens is concerned!) Sort bits, fail to sort other bits, bag a job explaining FoI risk for an external body on the basis of people we know as a favour to Pauline. Its a fair call though and not a problem. Reach for the Fredo's, chocolate frogs for the masses. Tracy's sorted the non-Eric the milk. Starts a bit of a run of good news, so positive vibes Nicola's way. A dashed summary I'm off to watch the footie. Allez les rouges!
