None at all - put it down to a late night grump! (And nothing to do with you at all :)
Thank you. I have been out for a muddy run, been to the local abbey and plan to do some wet gardening this pm. So all
very restful.
I hope you have a good week.

this next Monday evening - a lot to get through - but if she's made up her mind, what harm can it do?

send a file note. He also understood the SS angle and is keen to support. Belinda is now well glued in to what is
happening.
> My concern re Sparrow currently is our obligations of disclosure re., an unsafe witness. (The representative from
Fujitsu made statements about no bugs, which later could be seen to have been undermined by the SS report.) We do
not think it material but it could be high profile. Martin E is briefed if you want more detail. This is just in case.

> + Fed/strategy: I have read the draft MoU for the 15 year agreement and fed back some comments on style and
content. Sue and Kevin will be in touch to take you through. It is on the right track, it needs more of a PO balance and the
accompanying paper must have a horizon scan. I have yet to read the operating document but expect this in some ways
to be less difficult. Mark is working on the comms planning and I know will be happy to talk to you as well, if you would
like to. I decided not to issue a Board update - it risked being too upbeat too soon. But the team will get something out
post-Thursday's meeting with the NFSP, where the final details should be agreed having gone through lawyers. (George
on holiday till then.)

> + Sue B has decided to leave. I would prefer if you didn't raise with her but wanted you to know in case. I shall use the
opportunity as a catalyst for wider changes and we can explore when we meet next Monday. (Obviously Chris, Fay and
Martin E are aware.)
i......GRO_____}. But I should imagine he and his wife/family were worried. He has had incredible support from the
network and HR teams and will be told to stay off and recover. The CWU are due in this week as per my note.

be reading emails but I will pick up texts and can be directed to email that way. I know you won't bother me unless
serious, but if in doubt, don't hesitate.
