Cycled to Parliament up the great big hill to my HVV Gig. The Gig had been moved to inside because of the weather so numbers were low. I stuck with the Teddy Bear theme and told my Story “Deep” and I am pleased with how it is developing. Needs a bit of tweaking to be the finished product.

Popped down to Stoke Gifford today to see Kathryn (one of my teaching colleagues from Dursley), Matt and their three-week old son Oliver. Lovely to see a young family at this stage. Tomorrow I am meeting up with my old mate Phil for a beer. Phil and I have known each other from our days as young idealistic teachers who both ran our respective area primary school’s football teams. Phil is a big Forest Green fan so we will discuss the big match next week (much bigger than any of the Premiership games!)
