Scarily empty diary this week - no bad thing in itself given I feel I have so much to catch up on, but I can't help worrying about whether I should somehow have more.

Currently the only entries are for a bit of management training on Wednesday, an evening event with my former bosses' leaving meal, and an 'Away Day' with the team on Friday.

Now even the first of those has disappeared. Thanks to acute staffing difficulties given our porter/security mail people have (one guy nearly dying of a heart attack in the ambulance taking him to hospital on Friday), I've been volunteered to help on a drive to collect a donation from somewhere a couple of hours away. Will probably take all day, but could be an interesting outing to the home of someone variously described as 'weird' or worse. Only 700 books or so to shift. The management thing will have to wait till the next repeat.
