Finished reading: The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex 📚 Should have gone with my gut on this one and stopped reading before I’d committed too much to it. Meh 🤷🏼
Today I am thankful for the opportunity to get out and about (and walk more than 100 metres). I am looking forward to a day at the beach tomorrow.
Negative test this morning = going on holiday this afternoon 🥳

Currently reading: The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex 📚 Always a little apprehensive when starting a book bought as a gift. Let’s see how this goes.
It’s Norway vs Austria for us at the Euros tonight. I’ll always take the game with something to play for over a dead rubber ⚽️
Today I am grateful that it is significantly cooler in the north east than it is in the south. I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.

🗓️ I’ve been feeling slightly apprehensive about the amount of work I have on and the limited days I have available in July. So I was pleased to hear a content migration job I’ve been waiting to get scheduled has been pushed back again. It gives me a bit of breathing room. 📑 Had a good meeting with …

This is my favourite tree in Jesmond Dene. I love the variety of colours and how it catches the late afternoon light. Do you have a favourite tree in your local park?

Weeknote 23/22
🌟 The first session of my group coaching pilot was on Tuesday and it couldn’t have gone better. We started with a benchmarking activity which we’ll review at the end of the programme to help judge what progress has been made. The theme of the week was values, so the rest of the time we explored how …
Finished reading: The Locals by Jonathan Dee 📚 Found this massively underwhelming, if not irritating. Dee seemed to start lots of plot lines and then just let them trail off. About two thirds through I asked my wife if anything happened before the end, she said yes… it did not.
When I started co-working at Good Space in Commercial Union House we knew that one day it would be knocked down. Four years later they finally did it and this is all that remains
