Life continues at a hectic rate for me with work still very manic. Today I decided to take a day off - well not really a day off as I am only paid for 4 days a week and this is the 5th day. I have sat down and done all (well nearly all) those things that I have been meaning to do for ages like finding someone to cut the hedges, booking a dentist appointment - and so on. For me the simple ticking off of things on a list can be really motivating because I feel I have achieved something. I am also making bread and will make biscuits this afternoon. Then there is ironing to do.
Tomorrow, or today if I feel like it, I am going to set up a questionnaire for Commissioners on Survey Monkey which will help us understanding what soft skills Commissioners need.
Oh - and I have just booked a carpet cleaner to come. The new kitchen has created quite a lot of dust and the carpets need a bit of brightening up.
Lastly, I am going to phone my father who is in Tasmania and had a mild stroke some weeks ago. He seems to have recovered well but his wife tells us he is still very ill. It is very difficult to judge from a distance. He is back in a few weeks so I will be able to make a first hand assessment.

Friday 12 March 2010
An extremely busy fortnight
Having worked for 16 days of the past 21 and been in Cambridge for 2 of the other days, One World One Beat on one day, another day with four events (and I only got to three) and I think that leaves one day free, so I hope you will forgive me for not having blogged recently.
Here is the news:
Herons Wey Fair
June 26th - to raise finds for the toilet block. Wanted stalls run by members, stalls to be run (at a cost) by traders, raffle prizes and advertisers for the programme. Also needed preformers for the arena and providers of food. All offers most welcome.
Gala Dinner - Stars and Sparkle
As a thank you at the end of Centenary (November 19th in this case) we are holding a "posh frock" dinner at Kingston County Hall. Wanted sponsors so we can keep the cost down - if you know businesses who might sponsor, flowers, wine, canapes or provide raffle prizes, let us know. All profits to HW Water project.
Weyside Playframe
We hope that the playframe will arrive next week and will be erected soon after that. Keep an eye out. There are still spaces to hire Weyside later in the year so you can be one of the first groups to use this equipment.
Lord Lieutenant's Cadet
Congratulations to Bronwyn White who beat tough competition to be selected as the Cadet for the next year.
Queens Guide
Congratualtions to Augusta Theorachous who has become a Queens Guide just as her sister, Olympia, did eighteen months ago.
Chief Guides Award
Well done to our Chair of Junior Council Helen Clark on getting her CGA.
I am sure I have forgotten so much.
I have also had the sad job of writing to two Leaders who have each lost their teenage daughters through illness. Out thoughts go out to them.
Lastly - Well done everyone - we have over 80% of our units registered as paying their subscription. The reason this is good is because the magic number when we would get money refunded is 80% so we will be paid this year. Our Treasurer will be pleased (when she gets back from holiday)
