An uncertain time ahead

Another day in Salisbury where HR were to learn their fate in a series of meetings/briefings today. HR will suffer some redundancy casualties as a result of the restructuring as well as some material changes to their working practices. My day was taken up with meetings and reading a voluminous file for tomorrow morning's meeting in London. This evening I called in at the railway station in Salisbury to buy my ticket for tomorrow's London trip. I also picked up Tom from the Athletics Club at South Wilts. He was a little disappointed to have been beaten in the 150 metres by a Year 5 boy; but he did take it with good grace and accepted that he needs to get into better condition. Tonight's House Group was well attended - Klynn, Steve, Ivan, Duncan, Sylvia and Maxime - but I did think we were getting into Anglican church parochial matters a little too heavily which seems to be unfair to those from the Methodist Church who are very much part of our Christian Group. However, the discussion was lively and constructive in parts. Sara was unable to attend as she was giving a Virgin Vie party over in Downton. When she returned Klynn was still here chatting to me and drinking Sara's Dad's Kentucky bourbon. What a lethal brew that is - 50% proof. Have had to write this blog on Friday morning as we lost our Internet connection last night. In view of the Knob Creek bourbon - probably not a bad thing! All now seems to be working again.
