Staff away day today. Food was central to the proceedings, with enough cake to have prevented the French Revolution and at least four hot dishes at lunch. All that was good, particularly as the room was decidedly chilly and people had a tendency to talk too quietly. In the breakout session, there was tension in one group when a quiet talker was repeatedly interrupted by a colleague who just couldn't hear her. The situation caused the quiet talker to sit back and seethe. Not sure she was calmed by a plate of chicken in white sauce or a chocolate brownie, delicious though both were.
have very much enjoyed reading your stuff, has helped while away the long sunday afternoons at the large generic bookshop. gill ( davies)
