Lifelong Learning

I am supposed to keep my skill set up to date* and one means is to scour Holyrood Magazine whenever it arrives, in the hope of learning something useful. 

Today I did!

One of the Labour Party's new MPs for an Edinburgh constituency revealed all (not literally) for a profile piece. In the first paragraph he confesses that at the age of 3 he swallowed all his mother's contraceptive pills while she was busy with his new born brother. 

Anyone who has come across Dr Arthur in the political world can now sigh in relief because they have a rational explanation at last. 

All in all it was an interesting day, with plenty high spots (to remind me why I did not retire years ago) and the usual range of frustrations and irritations (to stop me getting carried away). 

One thing I have not yet put into either category is being informed I am to be given neuro-divergency training. Watch this space. I wonder if it is painful. 


* Not sure why, to be honest
