Woke at about 9am and Gill had taken our youngest to school, and I spent quite a bit of the morning on the computer and doing housework. Gill suggested we take he tent down, before it rained. As we finished doing it, it started raining! Good timing. Will came round as I was typing up the LETS minutes, and I told him about David, whom he said he'd like to meet. I suggested that we could meet up this evening at City Screen.
I had an appointment at 3pm with Pauline, who had asked me some time ago to help her get rid of a pile of stuff from Clements Hall and take it to St Nicks. Pauline had her great-granddaughter with her who was cute, and I went into kids entertainer mode and was a bit daft, which didn't chime with Pauline's mood. However, we walked round to Clement's Hall and I carefully packed all the gear into my trailer and panniers, and went to the Environment Forum meeting.
This was in a small room at the Council offices at St Leonard's Place, and we had several presentations about renewable energy in York. The most interesting one was from Jacqui Warren the Sustainability Officer, about the potential for different sorts of renewables, but the other presentations contributed to the picture. It is clear that York could generate significant amounts of low carbon energy if it had the political will, and it needs to if it's to achieve any of the targets it's agreed to.
After this, which finished at 6pm, I went to David's to take him to City Screen for our regular coffee and chat... and this time to meet up with Will, who has a new found enthusiasm for art, literature and history.... all David's subjects. They got on well.
At 7.30 I took David home and cooked his tea and by 7.50 I was finished, so went home and Gill made me some tea.
I did quite a bit of admin/paperwork in the evening, two invoices and some other bits and bobs. I also had a good chat on the phone and downloaded a load of WNBR photos.
