Exhausted

I went to a land allocation meeting this afternoon and came back absolutely exhausted; feeling shaky and with my stomach churning. I don't really know why except that there were a lot of people at the meeting and there was so much going on at so many different levels. It is hard to tease out all the different strands and to see where we are going. A lot of the time I did not feel in tune with what was going on there.

I sometimes wonder whether I am past going to these sorts of meetings. On the whole they don't achieve very much although often those involved feel that they have done a huge amount of work!
