Lyric reference is from the oft forgotton Ohio New Wave band from the 70's DEVO - ah whatever happened to them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxH39QlRuhg. Anyway, today we drum up cross sector cooperation and corporate social responsibility by attending the Borough's Let's Do Business Exhibition which is the collection of about 130 businesses packed into the Hastings Centre. It is hot and humid but I do good business both for the Sussex Community Foundation whose stand I staff with Janet their corporate liaison person and also drum up support for our volunteering project. Basically, if we can pursuade employers to look at a persons skills rather than just the paid work they have done in the past more people can move from volunteering into employment. And so it proves during the day as business leaders seem to grasp the common sense of what we are saying and start to sign up. So we have the beginnings of a diverse network of private sector businesses to join the happy band of public sector employers who are already on board.
I also catch up with a range of people I have not seen in ages including some of the young people from Saxon Mount School who I ran the marathon for last year.
What else. Of course, big drama last night with a late night mercy dash to the vet where our cat Louis has an emergency operation. Attacked by a psychopathic badger last night he is destined to lose part of his foot. Why are badgers portrayed in childrens books as soft and cuddly gentle creatures when in fact they are horrible flea ridden psychotics like Norman Bates ready to pounce on a defenceless little cat, barely out of kittenhood, - poor thing.
Today Louis looks very sorry for himself but is back home with us after his stay in animal hospital. He is snoozing on Holly's bed with a bandage bigger than his entire body and one of those strange collers to stop him licking the affected area compromising both his movement - and I suspect - his dignity.
My own injury - which pales into insignificance compared to the cats has a name. I am suffering from Piriformis Syndrome which is a pain in the arse - both metaphorically and literally. Tomorrow I am being pummled and manipulated by Sean the ex pro rugby playing irishman who does stirling work as my sports physiotherapist/oesteopath and no doubt will test how much pain I can tolerate for my £25 quid.
