This morning, my face looked even worse. Although I felt fine, my face looked as though I’d been in a bar-room brawl or had been kicked in the face by a mule. I spent the day in the garden.

Late in the afternoon I had a call from Anne (our Funding Advisor) to say that she would be off work on Monday so wouldn't attend the Networking Lunch that I was due to chair. I decided (vainly?) that I really shouldn’t be showing my face either. After all, who would believe that I hadn’t been fighting in the street? Or worrying mules?

I spoke to a few members of staff who seemed well able to cope without me, and I telephoned Pam Handley who was very understanding and agreed to chair the lunch in my absence.
