Last week's weeknotes which I wrote and forgot to share because my weekend was so chilled I turned into a potato and forgot half of everything. (It was nice.)

This week's weeknotes (#18 - lots of delivery this week) and reading (#10 - including the GREAT workshop outline for telling the story of your project or case study in an engaging way, via the medium of The Tiger Who Came For Tea - hat tip to Sam Villis).

Some further thoughts about measuring relationships (or actually not!) further to the excellent @rshipsproject.bsky.social discussion today on Relational Readiness.

I just read another of the folder of links that I saved "for later" ages ago. Stuff about nature affecting our sense of time, a moving photo project called "Leaving and Waving", and the best tiny zine ever. Also some work articles and stuff.

This week's weeknotes contain croissants 🥐 and cakes 🍰 but also quite a lot more work than I realised until I wrote up my weeknotes. Oh yeah, that's why I write weeknotes.

I don't believe that "few seem to care" about the near-annihilation of youth clubs. It's one of the issues I hear people caring about passionately every day. I can believe that few with the political power to effect large-scale change care enough to use it. But many people care very deeply indeed.

Weeknotes #15 - it's been an emotional roller coaster of a week and I have nevertheless achieved to Do Some Work so yay me!

Latest weeknotes (#14) and reading (#8). Nice light-hearted icebreaker game of INTENSE rock-paper-scissors found in the reading this week.

A bit late because I was finishing a project report this weekend, and it was easier to have a single focus on that until it was done.

This week's weeknotes (#8) and reading (#6) - I'd say don't bother with the reading, it was very slim pickings. This week had some pretty good stuff in it tho! noreen.wales/blog/

Weeknote! Features ospreys.
No reading of bookmarks this week because I've been on jaunts (including to see the ospreys) and less at my desk.
