It seems like the last Pubski was a couple of days ago! Let me look back through the mists of time and see what I've gotten up to...

Not a whole lot, really. Working down at the sister's house - underfloor pipes are now fully down. There's not really anything to do until the floors go down, so the old man put me out the back spraying algae-killer on the walls and digging moss off the pavement. It was a lovely sunny day and I was happy to be outside.

I was working on Saturday and Sunday night in the pub (bank holiday weekend on account of Easter, so a lot busier on Sunday night than usual). Everything was fine until the suggestion came up to head next door (to the hotel) for a quick after work beer, but in the end we couldn't get in, so we returned to the empty pub and had hours of conversation over a rake of beer, then upstairs to the boss-man's apartment for more. Up on the roof doing impromptu 'acting' sessions, and then he cooked us some breakfast. I was destroyed; didn't leave until half-ten in the morning.

Then I went to a local Easter egg hunt event and spent a few hours managing the kids going on the bouncing castle, whilst dreaming of going home and falling asleep. Loooong day.

In a few hours I'm going out west to speak to some younglings about my walk. Dreading it; not very practiced with public speaking and not well prepared (I'm kind of going with a general list of stuff I want to cover rather than a stuffy monologue). So we'll see how that goes.

Tomorrow helping the old man unload a container of pipe and then heading off to the pub. It's good to be busy, anyway.

have you considered leading a walk around a park or something while you talk to the kids that might make it easier/be more interesting
