Cold of runny nose type

Feeling very feed up with a cold and fever have spent most of the day indoors sleeping today.

The last couple of days have been quiet busy getting ready for the General Election preparing leaflets and Chairing a Council meeting last night.

Because of this rather annoying cold my planned activities for the weekend of going tothe Gym then to play pool with Becky have had to be deferred.

Notes on a Scandal

Saw the Panorama report tonight on the growing scandal effecting Northern Irish politics involving the first Lady of Northern Ireland.

Sex, Loans, possible corruption not to mention some breaches of the Councillors code of Conduct.

Just wondering how on earth Peter Robinson can carry on as First Minister ?

How not to Chair a meeting

Last nights Council meeting was not my finest examples in the art of Chairing a successful meeting.

Some how a 90 minute meeting ended up over running by a hour.

We made real progress on the Comunuity Allotments scheme which will provide a valuable resource for the Community as well as helping to reduce the Carbon emmisions of the Community.

The thing that really caught my imagination was the prospect of a Community Orchard providing local fruit for people.

Norfolk County Council

Today I was at County Hall for the NALC Quality Awards.

Next door was full Council it seemed to be made up of smartly dressed men all aged 70 and above who would look more at home in a 19th Century Gentleman's club.

As this is the body that represents Norfolk, I can only gather that Norfolk does not have anyone who is not either white, male and under 70 living in it.
