Progress .... Sort of

Well, over a week has gone by and there’s been no news from the MPs on whether they’re interested in taking part in the research. I shall have to hassle them I suppose. Things are looking a bit brighter on the local politicians front. I have had quite a few responses from local councilors and two face-to-face interviews have been finalised. Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks things will calm down a little and I’ll be able to focus a lot more energy on getting things set up. Meanwhile, it’s just office work and trying to get my remaining assignments done before we break for Easter.

Tuesday evening’s PA strategy presentation went OK, I think. Mind you, I did get stuck on a question after I’d finished which was a pain. Oh well, it’ll be perfect next time.

I also forgot to mention that I had my interview with Michael Vella, the rugby league player who plays with Hull Kingston Rovers, published last Sunday. My dear old Mum has sent me a scan of it but it’s not quite good enough to upload. So, I will just have to wait for the paper to send it to me. That should take about three months then.

Back from the North

Over the weekend I didn't work on this project. As we were in Stockholm, I took the opportunity to wonder around by myself while Clare did her cross cultural communication stuff. My tourist experiences took in the Army Museum and the History Museum. Clare did manage to get enough free time for us to go round the old town together. Overall, I'd have to say that it was a very pleasant if rather expensive weekend.

I've also got two presentations coming up as we end the near of the organised study modules on the course. The first one, tomorrow, will be a Public Affairs strategy for Entrepreneurs in Action. The second, for tomorrow week, will be a political communications campaign on rasing awarenes about sexually transmitted diseases. I'm also in at Propeller four days this week. In other words, there's not going to be much time to work on research for this particular project.

Still, when I have something new to add, I will.
