Sooooo, yesterday was Hallowe'en. Had a piece of post yesterday that I didn't get around to opening till today. My extended Criminal Records Bureau Check has finally come back - clean, I should add, before you get sarky.
What that means is that I can progress my plan to read to children: there's a local printer here who runs a service where volunteers go into local schools and do precisely that. I'm going to apply to be tht sort of volunteer.
Why?
I'm not entirely sure - can't stand kids at the best of times, to be perfectly honest. Probably because I find it utterly terrifying, I suppose. And of course if it helps get kids interested in reading something beyond the extent of their ASBOs in later life, it can't be bad.
Went for a "business breakfast" this morning. Think the Freemasons with rigorously firm but entirely unfunny handshakes. Not entirely sure what the point of that was, at 6.30 in the morning, but I think it's something to do with expanding my business into new, local, corporate dimensions, which is sort of cute, but when you've sat in an office in South Wales doing work for clients all over the world already, you sort of wonder what you're doing the local stuff for.
Oh, wait - money! That'll be it...
Listening to the second Floyd album as I type this. Clearly in the intervening year, they'd straightened up a bit and thought "Holy shit, people are buying this stuff. Maybe we should...I dunno...throw a couple of tune into the mix or something..." By the end of this evening, I'll be one whole fifteenth of the way through the Floyd Challenge.
And Monday I give blood, so I'll be able to cross that off the list. Must enquire about learning a new language soon...
