Tuesday

Happy Birthday brother David - I left a card with some token for beer in you at mums. Given this week I realise next time we catxh up maybe the funeral. How old is Dave? well Mary is 10 years older than me and cunningly looks younger than me.
Dave was born in 1968 my mathemtics is poop but does that make him 36? Hmmm I dunno still I still think of myself as 22 so he cannot be 36.
The day starts with the Heads of Informatics meeting at Hammy House I surprise myself by arriving on time for a 9.30, better still it starts at 10 so I make some calls. Funeral planning looms large. Heads goes well No Nick No Fran but double Bob on top form and Adamski D with an HR geezer talking about Agenda for change. Being a union activist I find UNISONS take.
Surprisingly ASSIST "a professional association for those working in ICT and informatics in healthcare and social care. "seem to say littl about it, and their web site is pants BTW. (I claim an interest as I was a corporate member and am speaking at their gig in Blackpool). The toddler org UKCHIP doesnt seem to say much more though I aint fully delved its long list of pdf's.
Off to the Bridge chapel for an HR organised event on employment law. Its great to see loads of people I havent seen for ages. The lunch is good and as a veteran of organising events I sense all is not good. The two organisers are staring out of the window and look anxious. An estate car screams into the car park and a harrased looking chappie scoots in dragging the hugest lookng bag on wheels I have ever seen. He is emlyn from Mace and Jones. He hands out a load of packs and its make oor break time. He does well and engages the sudience in a potentially dire subject. His style is different and he plays the local boy card a lot. Still managed to keep me going till the first break and the session was way too long.
Back to the works and signing of papers. back to Mothers check things are ok there. Make final calls and securing music for crem is sorted.
Home - quick tea. NHS net broandband link workin well. (Non Techies wander) Only prob is PS/2 USB keyboard mouse KVM switching probs (non techies come back).
Off to cell - its a good one. I could have been really geeky there and wrote XML tags round that -I'd show what that would look like cept a most of you wored be bored and this software accepts XML tags.
We discuss my plan for tomorrow and I need to mention my faith. Scary stuff.
