For me, Scott Alexander, we have:

Wednesday - meeting to discuss any possible improvements to our 'Essentials of Employment Law' NI event with the speakers and Kerry; meeting with John Conaghan of Carecall on joint working this year; meeting with Mark Reilly of the Belfast Telegraph to look at feedback from our NI HR Conference; and my usual weekly meeting with Barry. Then it's back to Lurgan to go blood doning.

Hopefully, I can work from home on Thursday and Friday.
