Feeling like death today. Another bug. Such a bore. Spent the day in the office, finalising my weekly column and writing letters and Christmas cards to constituents. Had some very positive feedback following my visit to a new defence company called OVIK. Run by Jez Hermer, a former Royal Marine, I briefed our new defence minister on this dynamic man who makes the impossible happen. And a big financial backer also wants to meet Mr Hermer. The company is based at Crossways and has a most exciting future. Finally, hosted a Christmas party for my home team, before collapsing into bed!
