20260216 Monday - 

This morning I spent the first few hours running my dad around GP surgeries for an emergency appointment regarding an on going headache, then setting up the follow on appointments and collecting meds.

The to Burntwood Memorial Institute to discuss the quote we're getting for new boilers to hopefully reduce the yearly gas bill.

Then to another club to demonstrate the ultra-short-throw projector we use for Burntwood Afternoon Cinema.

Then home, to draft and send out the email newsletter for tomorrow's Burntwood Afternoon Cinema film, just the almost 2 weeks late on that.

Then a short snooze.

Then some day-job work.

Then down to Sankey's Corner to see the Chinese/Lunar New Year celebration.

More day-job work.

Then set up the cinema kit for tomorrow.

Then more day-job work, interupted by an odd phone call from a pplice detective... "are you the Paul Taylor who...." No, I'm not, it turns out.
