Top of my list to do today is send feedback for the CCS consultation:

The process is an open one so please go to the website, read throught the document and send your thoughts on it! It could be a really influential document so it's important to have your say…
It's kind of a week from hell this week, teaching/talking in Lancaster tomorrow, big big interview on Wednesday, long drive to Bishop Auckland to talk about work for Art Land on Thursday and my beloved Grandad's funeral on Friday, followed by a presentation at A foundation on Friday evening and a workshop with teenagers for Respect week in Everton on Saturday. Phew.
It's good as well as terrifying and stressful. I need all of this stuff to keep my momentum going through the funeral and all the way to the workshop. I can, after all, collapse (a little bit) on Sunday. My life does seem to go the way of the bus analogy and it can make me a very determined, but fractious and impatient person to live with. Either that or I am plagued with guilt and self-doubt! Oh joy.
It has make me think though, when do I ever actually have a whole day off? Not very often at all. The last time was probably my honeymoon, so I hope I can remember to make more time for that this year! Leaving internet and phone behind may be the first step..
