Wednesday 12th November

I hate cancelling meetings, but had to cancel attending The National Health and Education Group meeting today as so many urgent things had piled up in the office, and in London again tomorrow.  I find this group so useful as best practice, Public Health campaigns, Government policy around health and wellbeing for schools and health settings is shared from across the South West and Nationally.

It was so good to catch up however, and I think Kate and Jane in the office are beginning to forget what I look like! Lots of orders coming in from schools for resources for alcohol awareness week ( quite a panic to get them out in time, when orders come in this late!), press and article requests, I could go on.. Mother and daughter catch up and haircut together after school today – such a treat – massage chair, hair wash and delicious double decaffeinated expresso!

I did try a Bavaria alcohol free beer this evening – and very similar to the real thing, full marks. I also put some sherry in my mushroom and cream sauce, is that allowed? Doctor friends tell me the alcohol boils off, phew thank goodness for that!
