Speculation, Fact and Fiction

Just to say, me being the speaker at the Hertfordshire county library service training day went with a swing. My talk was apparently just what they wanted - hurrah.

And as we did a tour of the various discussion groups, lively discussions were indeed in evidence - about their sample reading list, about what I had said and such evergreen topics as 'but comics are just for kids, aren't they?'

Less fun was the crash on the M1 which put an extra two hours on my journey home. Not that I was using the M1, but the motorway had to be closed which meant all the surrounding roads which I was using gridlocked solid. No, there wasn't an alternate route. I had the map book in the car and believe me, I was looking for one.

Ho hum. So the things I was planning to do this afternoon will now happen tomorrow with consequent knock-on effects for what I had planned for tomorrow - and there's the lads on holiday to contend with. This is our 'spring holiday' what with our local LEA having abandoned Easter some years ago.

So expect something like normal service to resume, oh, Monday 21st April, when the aforesaid sons head back to school.
