Into my second week already!

Time has gone so quickly, but I'm enjoying every moment. It's so much harder than my previous job, so much more to learn about with the wider remit of the Trust. And because they haven't filled this post for the last 2 months, there is a massive backlog of work to sort out!

The weekend was also busy - on Saturday I went with my family into London for the ICount climate change event in Trafalgar Square. We were actually really disappointed by it- poor publicity from WWF (no big banners with the panda on, though the Trusts had one!), and the presenters were rubbish. The speakers were drowned out by the march, which I have been told was great fun, and it did look amazing, but WWF weren't taking part - again, rubbish!

There were some right weirdos in the crowds though - one woman walking through louding proclaiming the entire event as pointless as God will come along and there will be a second creation, destruction being part of the world apparently. Bizarre.

We got bored and left early, as the power had just cut out (such a shambles) - the lure of retail therapy was too strong I'm afraid! In a way I wished we had stayed, as K T Tunstall and Razorlight were on later, but that's not really the point of the event is it? And only 25000 people turned up, out of a population of 60 million. Hmmm.

So now back to work, with the morning off in preparation for the late night AGM (finishes at 10pm!), and with one of my Childhood idols Chris Packham making a speech, should be an entertaining evening. I am finding myself fitting in here just fine!
