blogging

Blog's gone live and Tom Watson kindly put a piece about it in his blog. Result: I have two comments from readers! I feel encouraged to keep at it now.

Tom commented on me having a tricky surname, but as comments on his site point out, it can be helpful because a) people often want to know the origin of the name so it's an ice-breaker and b) it encourages people to get into informal mode and use your first name. And, of course, it does begin with "A", thus putting me at top of ballot paper (or pretty close).

Been getting papers ready for a school governors' meeting on Thursday. We're having a briefing on Breakfast Clubs from Elspeth from the Early Years Team at the Council. I hope this is something we can get moving. It's so important for youngsters (and all of us) to get a decent start to the day. And it would move us in the direction of extended hours and extended school offering even more to the community. It won't happen at once, but I think there is enough support and will to give it a go.
