I was up early today to attend a meeting of Ambassador's business group at the Grasmere Hotel in Harnham. This morning we were given a presentation by the John Thornton Youth Achievers Foundation which raises money in memory of a young Royal Marine lieutenant who was killed in Afghanistan in 2008 towards projects for youths e.g. if a young person has a particular target they wish to achieve then the JTYAF will consider making a grant. Full particulars can be found at www.jtyaf.org/. The Ambassadors' Group donated a cheque for £1,000 towards their funds and a photograph of us all was taken outside the hotel with the cathedral in the background. I met Sara for a coffee afterwards at the Salisbury Arts Centre and this afternoon, whilst Sara was working at the Lord Nelson pub, I attended to some homework I needed to do before my day at college tomorrow. A quiet evening at home tonight watching Bad News Bears about a ragtag junior baseball team, starring Billy Bob Thornton. This is a remake of the 1976 film of the same name starring Tatum O'Neal and Walter Matthau. Tragically, Sammi Kane Kraft who took Tatum O'Neal's role in this remake as the young female pitcher, was killed only nine days ago in a car accident when the car she was travelling in was struck by a drunken truck driver. What a tragic loss of talent.
