Happy 50th Birthday to friend Anthony

Off to Ambassadors' Business Breakfast Club this morning at the Grasmere House Hotel.  Not very many there this morning - just three tables - but an excellent presentation by Simon Ward on his photography business - very impressive with samples of his work and products.  Highly recommended for weddings and the like. After the meeting I spent an hour at Sarum College (and also did some shopping to buy our friend Anthony a big embarrassing 50th Birthday badge for tonight) before moving on to Alabare Place and spending three hours with the homeless in the Drop-In Centre.  Some interesting and useful conversations with a number of service users which indicated a possible need for a food outlet for them on a Saturday.  I will talk to Morning Star about this when I have an opportunity. Following my stint with Alabare, I drove to Stockbridge to pick Thom up and we followed his bus, after he got off, to its next major stop at Nether Wallop.  This is a much shorter journey from Winterslow and from next week we will arrange to take him and pick him up from there.  Tonight Sara and I joined our old friend and work colleague, Anthony, for his 50th Birthday meal with some other of his friends at Strada (the Italian restaurant)  in the centre of Salisbury.  A really lovely evening and so nice for Sara and me to go out together in the evening - we tend to be so busy with our own events that this is quite a rarity.
