• Hard run this morning felt freezing out there… Really chilly wind
  blowing. Yuk. #

  configured it for me?! #

• Good run. Listening to great book by William Cohen on the teaching of
  Peter Drucker. Very insightful. #

• Odd sort of day for Monday been a mix of things, but on the whole pretty

• Waiting on a builder to turn up to inspect a damaged ceiling. He’s
  late. I’m annoyed because I was on time. #
• Interesting day dealing with a variety of people who have certain
  expectations of me. Someone, somewhere will be disappointed. #
• Up, and soon to be running, and then a pretty full day ahead. #
