The second alternative...

Cracking weekend, by the way. Friday night after-work drinks with the new chap who's been all over the place (virtually everything from spending a couple of decades as a policeman in Tyneside, to teaching English in Kurdistan), then Saturday stewarding the Hibs v. St Mirren game beforfe heading to the Pond and running into assorted folk there.

Sunday started slowly, but eventually I headed for the open meeting and - as I half expected - volunteered myself to do the torchie thing again (this time with deputies). Much torchie-related conversation (which really belongs on torchbearers.org.uk (not much there yet: really needs some write-ups of previous years, plus pictures, plus what a torchie volunteer can expect, and so on).

Also revived my poor moribund weblog (also available as outsider_weblog), not for the sort of long stuff I used to try and do with it, but for somewhere to stick Interesting Links™.

Things to do: recruit more torchies, plan out first couple of meetings, make vaguely-appropriate skins for the calendar and discussion areas of the torchie site, sleep.

I missed that meeting because I'd fallen asleep. I was actually intending to be there.

Just check out torchbearers.org.uk, unfortunately it has a few broken links right now...

Under Firefox the "what we do" link is broken and the discussion area link works but the page it goes to doesn't seem set up... It goes to somae "Web Page Demo" page...

Cheers.

You're right - I uploaded before everything was ready: "what we do" will be up before the end of the week - the discussion area will be functional (but not skinned) in about the same time....
