Brighter day reorganising my office, completing Company Administration and then an evening putting the ducks to bed with Daniel and working in my shed
A bright sunny day but still cooler than the recent heat wave. First thing at the office I move around my office, orientating the desk so that I am facing the entrance door and creating a more informal area for interviews and discussions. The net effect is a great improvement in working environment. Then during the day to bring up to date all statutory company administration including share transfers, meeting minutes and the last annual return for the Byte Shop Nottingham. There only remains the job of sticking in the resolutions once typed and sending things off to the company registration agents.
Barbara, Geoff Lynch’s new secretary, is still up from Southampton today and is doing her best to note our working methods in a bid to sort Geoff out. A latish evening talking to John before returning home to see the ducks to bed with Daniel and an hour in the workshop trying to rebuild the mast now that the tools are properly sharp.
The business news is of international action to intervene on the foreign exchange markets to hold down the dollar, but the pound continues to fall anyway which I think is a good thing. The funeral of David Niven in Switzerland and continuing debate on corporal punishment in schools now that parental choice is being introduced. News tonight also that Margaret Thatcher has actually undergone laser eye treatment for a detached retina and now has had a further operation from which it will take a week to recover. It is very evident that the evidence of her condition has been heavily underplayed for public consumption.
