Everything's falling down

"One of the best sandbox MMOs in existence." It was an advert on my computer. I wrote it down because it demonstrates how out of touch I am with all things tech. I have no idea what is being advertised.

In Zac's this morning someone jokingly said we were going to have volunteer assessments, mark people out of ten. One volunteer said, "You wouldn't dare give me less than ten!" then paused, then added, "Except Liz would probably give me three."

I didn't realise my face was so easy to read. Must do better.

My first trustee meeting this afternoon. We need to raise an awful lot of money to get the building into a sustainable state - or to stop it falling down. Anyone want to sponsor a toilet? A sink? How about a pack of toilet rolls?

Speaking of falling down it seems that the school attended by GrandDaughter1 and GrandSons 1 and 2 is not reopening next Monday after this week's half-term holiday while they investigate subsidence. 

Also falling down badly we have the Conservative Party. Yesterday's two by-elections took large Tory majorities and turned them into Labour victories. Something to celebrate at least.

And I've just taken the first step to being an active Labour Party member: I've cast my vote for the next leader of the party. I feel quite responsible.

One of the weekly newsletters I've started receiving is from Austin Kleon, and this week he talks about commonplace books. I've never heard of them so followed a few links and now I want to keep one!

In his he records quotes he particularly likes.

Keeping a commonplace book would be a great shortcut to quotations you need to remember.
It does seem that falling down is the theme there right now.

Good luck to Zac's in its upcoming fundraising campaign!

Hope you are able to raise the funds needed to make repairs to the building.
