NSE Public Enquiry opens and hockey

The NSE public enquiry opened yesterday morning at 10am in the Council Offices. Its probably going to last about 8 days, including one evening session next Thursday from 6-8pm. It was quite interesting watching it the proceedures then the start of expert witness. Its a shame I have a full time job as I'd have liked to have stayed a bit longer and watched more. Even the medical evidence which has no relevance was interesting - the cross examination which I thought would not throw anything up was interesting as it was trying to establish where the figure of 152 beds came from - indeed it could be the UK's requirement and indeed the south of england's requirement is a lot higher - my conclusion was that this might not be the last enabling development if they have to fund further beds. Left at 1pm and came and did some work!

Played hockey last night against Windsor Second XI - I played for Windsor as they were a player short. We played through torrential rain, thunder and lightening - I was quite worried at some points as the lightening was rather too close for comfort. The whole of Rickmansworth Lane back from the Dumb Bell was flooded on the way home - Charlie apparently flooded his distribution cap and his car cut out on the way back to Amersham!!

Staying at home all day today for much work and possibly a visit from Therapies Direct.
