hi Tim

Discovered today that I have at least one reader of my blog, Tim, who is political assistant to Lib Dem Group on B&NES council, so......... Hi Tim. It's encouraging to know that there are readers out there. Do comment, please!
Home now at the end of what should have been a much shorter Council meeting. Give councillors a chance to talk and they'll fill all the available time. I rather think that we should have Council meetings more often (once a month), but have Standing Orders which make them shorter. I ended up discussing that after the meeting with other councillors, so it's not just me.
It's a good thing women can multi-task as today I had to be Group Leader, Political Assistant, PPC, Company Secretary, wife and mother. It's an interesting life, but at almost midnight I'm glad I'm home for a cup of tea and then off to bed.
One good thing about a long council meeting was that driving home I caught Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy again on Radio 4.
Goodnight.
