Unsurprisingly after yesterday’s marathon writing session, I arrived at work late in the morning. I felt hugely relieved to have broken the back of the Value and Volumes project. I also felt "Not Quite Right" which naturally I put down to tiredness.

At the office, I spoke with Des Reid and Saud Hafiz about the possibility of a Watford CVS tender for the county-side Advocacy Project - put simply, HCC want a focal point for supporting parents and children who have experienced discrimination on the groupnds of race of religion. I have only recently picked up on the opportunity (thanks Mohamed) and the closing date is the end of next week. But between our Connexions Personal Advisors, we have a solid repository of experience and knowledge and it could bolster our existing work …

I also spoke with other colleagues paving the way for my planned absence from the office on Thursday and Friday when I will be working on the HIC development plan for Hertfordshire’s infrastructure.

But by the time I arrived home, I felt dreadful. It's certainly more than just tiredness. Jackie is off work this week after experiencing heart palpitations and I should have been nursing her - but instead I was the one collapsing on the sofa and striking a tragic pose.
