Another of those “to do” list days that do not turn out the way they should. For example I never ordered snow but found myself driving through hail and snow on my return from the shops having restocked the yoghurt store. At least we are not flooded as it appears so many are. My major achievement of the day was to apply to renew my passport on line having got a digital photograph of myself from the booth in the supermarket. The new passport picture makes the four horsemen of the apocalypse look positively attractive. I look ravaged, which I suppose is partly true.
The rest of my day has been taken up with revamping the training slides for tomorrows Enabling Environment training that I am delivering with a colleague in Derby. I note that the slide that introduces me has an old picture of me in the days when I still had a beard,its a harsh change of image. I also wrote a letter to a good friend in York, which helped me, put some thoughts in order. It is one of many letters that I owe. I notice that I am not so assiduous in my letter writing than I was but have it on my list of things to deal with soon. The weather in Derby has been snowy and as usual there has been a crop of traffic accidents on the motorway so I shall be leaving early in the morning. I plan an early night for me tonight in the hope of rest so as to be fresh for tomorrow.
