Children & Families committee today...not much of note except the decision to proceed with a review of community learning and development and anything else that is discretionary spending...that's a lot ...adult learning, community development, ESL, quality review etc etc...none of it has the same media impact as school closures but it's all pretty damned important. Also, a report showing that spending on vulnerable children rises exponentially and is, as ever, out of control...
West Pilton & Granton Community Council tonight - a big and active group with many characters I have known for a long time: all are keen and committed and everyone has an opinion.
The opinion polls don't look promising at the moment though a straight fight between Labour and the Tories always helps us. It looks like Gordon was right to delay: with such volatility in voting intention it would have been a difficult call to make. It will be interesting to see whether the Tory lead can be sustained over the winter months.
And finally...the Xmas diary is beginning to fill up...I feel ill already...was counting up the gifts list ...44 presents...I cannae believe it! Better make a start on it soon...and that doesn't count the 5 December birthdays either!
