Leaving Sport England today to start something new in a couple of weeks
It has been a *trip*
Learned loads, made mistakes (obvs), but ultimately left the Movement Fund in a better place and created and honed a beautiful multidisciplinary team along the way

Weirdly I've made a later life change and have gone back to putting reverse-dates at the start of filenames to make them sort better. I don't think I've done this since my 20s - since then I flirted with no-sort filenames but mostly I've been numbering
Lots of meetings I guess

Just to be clear about me missing information architecture at the places I work...I'm not saying IA is dead, or no one does it any more! I'm more saying that (in the places I work) it used to be discussed as often as service design, interaction design, user research but recently it's less visible :(

Spaced repetition is close to magic
One of the unexpected joys of learning to play chess - specifically memorising openings - has been getting to use modern spaced repetition software
(Last time I seriously used spaced repetition was for exam revision in 2000. Pen, paper, index cards: ok boomer)

It has been a labour of love to make the application guidance accurate, clear and helpful. It's the first big delivery for our team and I am very proud of the progress we have made
There's lots more improvement to come. But this is a huge first step

Taking part in a Theory of Change workshop that is being extremely well run and is proving to be very enjoyable. And I think likely to be very useful as well

Swan Lake, Matthew Bourne version. Saw it 20+ years ago and loved it but saw it again today and loved it more. Totally lost myself in the idea that the people were animals by the end. It's funny how your appreciation of artworks changes and flexes as you age 🦢

Sad to hear Mint Lounge in Manchester has closed. So many huge nights there, so many memories. Our night - C'mon Feet - was one of the first regular nights there after it opened. And its predecessor - Planet K - was actually where me and Esther first got together. All the clubs are closing down :(
