I have (I think) pretty much completed the new Sunflower website, and passed it on for their direct management. My charming volunteer from yesterday didn’t turn up today; I do worry that I might sometimes alarm people. But I finished off the October payroll, completed a funding proposal and finalised our half-yearly BIG Lottery fund report.

I also held a staff meeting beginning “promptly at 12:00”. This was our first semi-formal staff meeting – on which see my thoughts here. As my birthday is approaching, I was presented with a birthday card and someone had gone to great lengths to procure a large tray of sticky buns. I was rather embarrassed. The meeting went well but I am ashamed to say I did 90% of the talking as there is so much happening that people need to know about. Hopefully I will talk less at future meetings.

My son Bobby arrived from Brighton and we joined Jackie and Bryan for an evening meal at the excellent China Sky.
