Now, Where be I?
Losing track of days so I'm hoping this brings me to a sense of where we are in the week!
Wednesday First off it was Happy Birthday Callum, all of eight years old. I get up late (around 7'sh which means I'm chasing my tail sorting the news - which means I don't get time to chat to Helen about the delights of Zookoda). Helen (a different one from the other Helen, look this is gonna get confusing be warned) comes over from Leeds to chat about the delights of Primary Care Librarianship. She's cool and has shared attitudes with us as a service. I'm impressed, poor girl put up with me rambling on.... Leave early to fetch the bike for Cal from Halfords, pick Monst up, head to the school and pick up Cal, Aaron, Liam and Jack. Owen who was also meant to be with us had hurled earlier in the day and been sent home. Quick trip down the East Lancs to Frankie and Benny's. everything is sorted, service is good, food is good and we get out in time to see 'Flushed Away' at the Showcase. The kids behave and the jobs a good 'un. Home, cake and candles with Lil from across the road, write the start of a Zookoda guide for Helen (feeling guilty because I haven't spent enough time with her hatch the plan to catch up with her at Warrington the following day). Crap TV and bed beckons. Thursday In early sort the news, start playing with a blog format for the Nursing E-Newsletter that Pat asked us to pull together the other week. Get told we got the wrong bag of post. Nip to a tenants meeting with a very military gentleman chairing (later learn he's just back from Iraq) that lasts 3 times longer than necessary. Interesting thing is that the PCT folk in the room are all losing the will to live by the end of it, the others bang on, and on, and on, and on. Dash downstairs and chat to Nicola as I frantically beat up printers and rush away to Warrington. Arrive to find everyone at lunch. Chat briefly to Helen (not of Leeds) explain the guide situation (feel slightly less guilty). Vicky asks a favour (which she knows I'm gonna say yes to anyway). Steve and Mo bum a lift back to Liverpool. Sort some e-KSF training with Linda Black for Tracy and myself, get a promise of some for Nicola and Helen too. See friendly Public Health folk, chat sort out some materials. Big up the LMI. Meanwhile Cal goes to St Marks to see if he likes it as a school to go back to mainstream at. That goes well, Monst is impressed at the teachers flexibility (the accommodate some of the things that Cal Likes to do into the mornings lessons - cool or what!) All goes well and Monst contacts the LEA to give the thumbs up. Monst has done a cracking job there with minimal support from me. Result. Now just to determine the how and when! Home, eat, washing, blog catch up, bed beckons. But before that I investigate the new Blinklist Broadcast Widget which results in this page in minutes. I of course ask it to do stoopid things. Mightily impressed, need to drop a mail to Christina.
