Weeknotes: May in passing

I notice that weeknotes have quickly become month notes! I think that’s okay. There have been several bank holidays this month. I think I arrived back just after one following a week in Madrid. Just as one bid had gone in, another two swirled into action. If you are not careful, the swirling knocks youContinue reading “Weeknotes: May in passing”

Weeknotes 6 – to end January 2023

January is a bit of a blur, after catching COVID early in the new year. It was that space in between Christmas and New Year. I’d had a booster in November, in anticipation of this probably happening.

It’s interesting how they are considering influencing decision making making at Council level. This came out of the EDI roundtables they hosted a while back. I wonder why they don’t just open up more spaces at Council levelContinue reading “Weeknotes 28th Nov – 2nd Dec 2022”

From here to there…

Image description: Person with short hair wearing a brown coat texting a friend at night in an Italian street. The text is on screen, it reads ‘Wait for me, the train isn’t until dawn. I’ll be there in a minute.’ I think I finished one job and started another since I last wrote a blogContinue reading “From here to there…”
