I did an event I wasn't expecting to do today as I got a panic phone call last night asking if I could go along and showcall for an awards ceremony. I agreed and turned up this morning not having any idea what to expect. In the end I had quite a nice day.

The event was the Justice Awards and was presented by Fiona Bruce and the Attorney General, Baroness Scotland of Asthal. The Lord Chancellor - Jack Straw and the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith were also in attendance. It could be said to be very strange to see the Home Secretary greeting the Attorney General with a kiss!

Our son who is just coming up to two and a half amazed us tonight by telling us that it was "six o'tock" and indeed it was (well 5:45 anyway) but blotted his copybook later by lobbing his toy broom across the room and smacking me on the head with it.

The lump on my head was later joined by a sore wrist as I tripped over the kerb outside the house as I was returning from Asda with the shopping.
