MMR, Copenhagen, Winkers, Open Spaces

Sarah is off to Copenhagen with work today until tomorrow night. Rebecca is having her MMR at 2.30 today - hope it all goes ok and she doesn't have any reaction to it. At least I'll get to spend the afternoon with her!! What should be a straightforward injection (along with the many others shes already had) is not so simple because of the media attention.

Played hockey on Saturday - I was average - nothing special nothing bad - but my body certainly didn't feel normal after the turbulence of the last few weeks! My foot and knee problems seem to have affected me. They are both due up again tomorrow night / thursday - I'm desperately hoping they don't! I've been taking plenty of drugs prescribed to me so we shall see what happens. After hockey went out on a first team do - a curry followed by Winkers.

Been very busy on the work front. Finished revamping the Control Systems and Equipment web site yesterday - the sister company of CSE.

Despite my outstanding workload I went to the Open Spaces meeting (parish council sub committee). It was quite interesting as it happens. We went through the projected budget again for next year. A piece of play equipment at Gold Hill will need replacing soon (the helter skelter - which you cannot buy any more apparently because of health and safety!!!!) Someone mentioned a replacement cost of £50k which is impressive as the budget for the whole of the parish council is only £200k annually!! We will look to replace the equipment with something in the region of £10k next year. Some of the surfaces in the play area will also need replacing - they are as expensive as the play equipment - which is good to know that the local troublemakers dig it up (though not been too bad recently apparently).

We also found out that the BBC have requested the play area on Gold Hill to film a tiny part of House of tiny tearaways or something - which of course we allowed. Apparently last time the BBC did something one of the known troublesome youngsters were throwing bricks at the camera crew - what a charmer. He's now got an Asbo apparently.

I also updated the Parish Council on the softball's request to use Mill Meadow - which CDC mostly put a blocker on (see earlier posting) the parish council are going to write to complain about the beureaucratic nature of their response.

We also complained about how slow the contractors are at updating the lighting in certain areas of the village as well.

Below is a picture of Rebecca at the weekend playing in my new astros show box.
