Nothing to worry about folks. My finances might not be on great shape, but I’m not in debt. No, the reason I spent the evening at my bank is that they were running a networking evening for local small businesses. Seriously. I was impressed.

Of course I didn’t expect to meet anyone who would be of interest to me. I mean, how many other energy economics companies are there likely to be in a small Wiltshire town? Or science fiction people?

Which, of course, is how I ended up spending much of the evening chatting to Jim Burns. 🙂

But there were other interesting people there too. I spent some time chatting to the ladies from the hair and beauty salon I use (and promising to make an appointment because my hair really needs seeing to). I also met Bry from Westbury, who makes cupcakes. He had samples. I can recommend his wares. Yum.
