NHS Libraries National Service Framework

Ben Toth announced at yesterday's NHS-HE Forum that a draft of the National Service Framework is now out for consultation.

Young Hegelians

Vicky Roupa, who teaches the classical Greek class I attend and shows exemplary patience in the face of our collective ignorance of syntax and failure to practice basic drills, now has a web site.
There's a very fine picture of the West Pier, to say nothing of lots of stuff about Hegel.

Breaking Boundaries: ephemera

I wasn't in Edinburgh long, but had time to make a pilgramage to Valvonha & Crolla, and have a champagne cocktail in North Bridge.

Fontwell

I visited Fontwell for the first time yesterday, in the company of children and Will's friend Luca, and to meet old friends not seen for a very long time.
Our attempts at fleecing the bookies (we were late arriving so missed the first three races) were as follows:
220: Brave Spirit (Will and me)/All in the Stars (Jo, a winner)/Classic Native (Luca)
255: Kristofferson (Will)/Shaman (me)/Paddy Boy (Jo)/Somewhere My Love (Luca)
330: Romany Dream (Will)/Glenogue (me)/Just Muckin Around (Luca)/Mystical Star (Jo)
400: Festive Chimes (Luca, a winner)/Son of Greek Myth (Will)/Honey's Gift (Jo)/True Mariner (me)
There are some photographs on Flickr.
