After the 18 mile jog on Sunday I was exhausted and so rested on Monday and Tuesday. With my new lodger moving in on Friday I took Wednesday as a holiday to complete a number of jobs needing done before her arrival. The list was extensive and unrealistic! in the end it took all day just to build a wooden frame, make pegs to hold it in place and to transport 2 tons of Valencia stone chips into place to finish off the outside of the house.
Thursday was a long day in Edinburgh for a really good innovations in public sector event talking about 4 topics: the financial benefits of linking all public sector systems to create one golden record of the truth for each citizen; predicting the future of crime, fraud, distribution of resources to improve safety and improve efficiencies; understanding what causes people to behave like they did on your web site and how to share knowledge and best practice across silos and through management levels to improve services and cut costs. #IIPS2013 so no cycling or running training yesterday either!
