Today: We found out how tricky it is to get into schools. Spent about half an hour on the phone to one school only to find out that the deputy head I was refered to last week (after a week of phone calls) had left school early and I couldn't speak to her. Meanwhile we're being told that we can't go into the other to set up a group as they worry that if they let us in they'll have to let in every religion including extremist groups. I can see where they're coming from but think there should be a bit more of an open forum and there should be an option for groups to go in.
Football tonight as well, can Eden's extend its unbeaten run to the first 3 matches of the league. And will I be as much of a cripple as after last weeks win!?!
In the news: Morgan Stanley have had to sell a 20% share to a Japanese bank. Bit crazy after Lehman Brothers collapsed and AIG were bought-out by the US government, etc. I do think independantly the economy would recover but it looks to be stretched out with the energy issues, food price issues and everything else at the moment. Could be interesting where things progress from here. Its all about decentralisation, time to start growing your veg in your back garden.
Randomly: The tele seems to be searching out Top Gear, the last 3 times I've switched on its gone to Dave despite the fact that's not what we've been watching when it was turned off.
Currently listening to: One World, John Martyn. Fantastic album, the last track, small hours, is incredible.
Currently reading: Transport and Neighbourhoods, Hank Dittmar. The last of the Edge Future books (or at least last in the order I've read them). Really good series looking at how the social set up of things needs to change in order to achieve more sustainability. I'd recommend them to people who like to rant about things.
