Have managed to survive the first day of my workshop despite the jetlag and have had a lovely dinner with people from Thailand, Hong Kong, India and China. Had quite a laugh actually, largely at the expense of English tourists. Just learnt that Derby avoided defeat yesterday which was amazing. Still reeling from the fact that the new American owners dream of turning Derby County into a 'global, iconic brand' and paid £50 million for the club.
Have recently finished reading 'A Spot of Bother' by Mark Haddon. It's been in the bestsellers list for quite a time now and I can understand why. It deals with everyday issues that many people face: ageing parents, family tension, marriage, retirement, adultery and does so with humour and sensitivity. This is very different to 'The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time', which I loved. Not quite as good, but worth reading.Am flying back tomorrow evening and have got updgraded to First Class! Can't wait. Apparently its been quite chilly back home

Derby County are already a global, iconic brand.
The marketing team at pride park have an easy ride ahead
PS. We drew with Birmingham yesterday, so two points in two games.
PPS. England were a second half disgrace against an average Welsh team.
Yes - it was an unbelievable second half. With all the England injuries, I think Italy are in with a decent chance in the next game.
