Sixth day, Tuesday 19 October 2010

To UEL for 10 am Acreditation of Experiential Learning panel.
Had to make apologies for applications not adequately prepared for presentation.
Did a few admin tasks i.e. exchange register updated at home for field shared drive, copying for the ED1015 session at the Museum of London in Docklands.
Went home to do prepare for ED3022 Gender Security and Education For All on Wednesday but ended up spending most of the time looking up the best way to meet up with Amira so she could come to the
Museum with the class.
Niilante took me to Peckham to meet up with her and then dropped us off at Peckham station. We were about 15 minutes late in the end.
The train from Peckham to London Bridge took 15 minutes and we got to Canary Wharf about 5 minutes
past 4. The route is much quicker than going to Lewisham and the walk from Canary Wharf to the museum is visually interesting. Did not take any photos but I do want to take that route again to take photos.
Group left the museum at two minutes to when they shut at 6 pm. They were practically pushing us out. It will be interesting to get their response to worksheet questions and feedback next week.
From the Museum  went with Amira to Canada Water from where she could get a train to Crystal Palace station and her hotel.
On to London Bridge for the AFFORD Board of trustee's meeting. 
Coming out of the station at London heard the sound of voices in protest. Noticed police on street corners and then the small group of marching men (couldn't see any women and the voices were decidedly male.  But they were flanked on all sides by police in high visibility jackets.  Lots of people were taking photo, I didn't because I was running late for the meeting and I was uncomfortable with being a spectator of what seemed to be a somewhat pathetically vulnerable looking brave band of protest / resistance to funding cuts announced today.
AFFORD meeting was at AFFORDs offices in Elephant and Castle not Gibril's office at London Bridge Road! It was after 8 by the time I got there. The meeting ended something to ten. It was after 10 when I got home.
What a day!
