I’m attempting bizarre and weird titles to increase my blog readership. I wonder whether it will work?

The title sums up today though. We are having an extension built on the back of the house, a kind of den/work/relax area. The roof went up yesterday and the plumber came today to reroute pipes and alter the soil pipe (too much detail I hear you say). The poor guy was still here at 6 when I got home from Chislehurst.

I was there today to be involved in the first set of interviews for the director of Chilsehurst YFC. This is their first appointment so they are understandably excited. It’s amazing, yet all the exec come from very different backgrounds and are of different churchmanship, yet they are all in total agreement about the sort of person they are looking for. The know exactly what they want. Shame that it can’t be that easier in other church relationships.

So there goes the plumber and the interviews! Bananas and bottles of water?

I had an amazing governors meeting tonight at New Brompton College. Tonight I was re-elected as vice chair and we were able to see the progress that the school is making. Standards are improving, we are managing to recruit teachers (if there are any excellent maths (and other) teachers out there who want a challenge in a demanding but rewarding school have a look on the Medway or TES website) and things are generally improving. This great to see as the school has had a tough time.

The community are starting to see that the school is making progress are certain sections are starting to be happy to be associated with the school. Following research and advice from inspectors that each child could benefit from having a banana and bottle of water to eat and drink during the exam a local supermarket is supplying the fruit and water for each child in the morning and afternoon.

I think its great that the local supermarket is doing that to support the school – and obviously get a bit of good PR for themselves.

As I said, a day of plumbers, interviews, bottles of water and bananas!

Tomorrow I’m going to see Bishop Brian – but that’s another story!
