The day was devoted to a workshop that I ran on the subject of “the whole of everything”. We tried to understand how we got to today, what it meant, what we cared about, what we want and a little about how to get it. The result of this is that I have some notes about what we need to do and what we can measure in the future. I think that this was quite a good way to clear any air that needed clearing, as well as an interesting exercise for me, as a team leader, to step aside from the role for a bit and see what I could learn from the people I’m supposed to be leading.

After work, I headed out for dinner. I didn’t know where to eat, but I found a restaurant near the station called the “Okay Italian” restaurant. I chose to eat there. Later, my girlfriend asked me how the food was (I admit, I told her to ask me, since it sets up the response that’s to follow). “It was okay” I told her. We nearly laughed.

I tailed the evening watching a Doctor Who episode on DVD. It was the one with Kylie in – “Voyage of the Damned”. She was very good. It was very good. So good, was it, in fact, that I then watched the DVD extras. They provided me with spare time enough to watch the DVD extras of the other two Doctor Who DVDs that I’d brought with me. This is how Doctor Who fans behave. I am still not qualified to call myself one, though I can completely understand how people become one, and plan, one day, to achieve this high status.
