I've been trying to follow the cricket over the last few days, but I will be glad when it's all over. Everyone at work is checking the BBC website every two minutes and it's all getting to be a bit too much for some. The rain on Saturday was quite fortunate for us, because it did cause a fair number of people to abandon the TV and come down to the new Children's and Family Centre on Wyrley Birch for a stone unveiling ceremony. The stone can't be laid until the building is finished, so it was propped up on an easel to be unveiled on the terrace. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the builders had done enough tidying up and making safe to allow everyone the opportunity to walk through the building - apparently it is 23 weeks along in a 40 week build, so the walls, ceilings and room layouts were in place. The architect was on hand to walk us through and point out all the different rooms - two nursery spaces, a cyber cafe and drop in area, training rooms, a health room etc; it will be a great resource when it is finished.
