Weekends are the times when you don’t do any work, you just veg out in front of the TV or something. At least that’s what I’m told. Here’s what I have done today.

After breakfast I headed into Bristol and on up to the BCFM studios where I was being interviewed for a programme to be broadcast on this year’s Transgender Day of Remembrance (which is this coming Wednesday, November 20th).

From there I headed back into the city, bought a Christmas present for Kevin in the Christmas Market, grabbed some food from Sainsbury’s and ended up at the M-Shed for the Out Stories Bristol AGM.

The first item of business was a fabulous talk by Robert Thompson from LAGNA about representations of LGBT people in the British media in the 1950s and 1960s.

After that we had the business part of the meeting, at which I was able to practice the Ninja meeting chairing skills that I have learned from watching Kevin handle the much more challenging task of keeping the WSFS Business Meeting in order.

On the way back to Temple Meads I popped briefly into the Shakespeare to see if the BristolCon post-mortem needed any further input from me beyond what I had put in email.

And then it was back home for board meeting of SFSFC.

That was roughly a 12 hour day, with no actual breaks for lunch or evening meal, though I did manage to eat both of those. My apologies to Robert for inhaling my lunch during the first few minutes of his talk.

And now I think I have earned some sleep.
