A very busy week

I’ve not blogged for a few days because this week has been such a very busy time.

  • I’m the Member for England on the Ofcom Consumer Panel and, on Tuesday, we had our monthly meeting and met our new Chairman Anna Bradley.
  • I’m the Chair of the Greater London Region on the Postwatch Council and, on Wednesday, we had our monthly meeting which lasted five and half hours.
  • I spent the whole of Thursday at the Oxford Media Convention where I spoke in a panel on the impact of new media on public service broadcasting.
  • On Friday, I was back at Postwatch for a discussion on the output a research project which involved a PowerPoint presentation with no less than 80 slides.
  • By Friday evening, I was ready for some social life and Vee and I had dinner with good friends in “Rules”, the oldest restaurant in London (established in 1798), where one of the other diners was the new England football manager Fabio Capello.
  • Today – a very wet and miserable Saturday here in London – I was down town to spend time with my wonderful sister who was visiting from her home city of Leicester.
  • Time now to start reading a new 700-page biography of Fidel Castro before we go on holiday to Cuba in March.

    Ah, Rules, such happy memories particularly the day the COPOU closed down and split into BTUC and POUC. We had our final dinner their as it was just opposite our old office.
    The last time I was there was the day after my 60th Birthday – ten years ago come April. Where has that ten years gone.
    Thank you for reminding me of happy times.
