29 January

Approaching five months after my last appraisal as court chairman, I at last got my first sitting today as an approved chairtaker. Since I'm still feeling full of aches and pains after a recent cold, it was a welcome surprise that we had finished our list by lunch time. Nothing exciting - some sentencing, some adjournments and rather a lot of sitting in the retiring room waiting for things to happen elsewhere.

The builders finally turned up at 3:00 pm, and are fiddling away in the shower room as I write. I really hope they get it all sorted today: our ten days free of the dust and smell of building work and builders was rather nice, and the return thereof is not altogether welcome. With luck this will be the last of it.
