Haven't been on here in ages no idea what to post, i might stick to my toastmaster journey. I'm doing a leadership development pathway and I'm on level 2. My last speech was about leadership style. I have to work in the next section which is an intro to mentoring trying to think of I was a protégé

Today I'm going to be hosting a contest for toastmasters for the first time, thankfully there is a script , for me it's about having the confidence to be the Contest Chair, rescue remedy in my pocket as that helps for me

I love lots of new followers and nothing to talk about, still tired after the weekend at Fantasycon. Working on my personal laptop to make some space as baldurs gate took up so much memory, need to move some stuff to the older laptop, hours of fun ahead this evening

What a day, travelled back to Athenry from Chester, got home around half 3, had a nap then dinner and back out the door for Toastmasters. Tonight was the humorous and table topics contest, thankfully I was the timekeeper for the meeting so it wasn't too taxing on the brain, just home ready for sleep

I picked up this Dr who book at Galway library, the reason was I was a panelist for the Dr who panel at Fantasycon and I thought this will be helpful to talk about. I managed to start the book before the con and then finish it today. I enjoyed it but would only rate it 3 out of 5.

I had an interesting chat about my parents last night and how they were born in the late 30s before the war and how I love getting little bits of information from them about their life. I'm currently traveling home thinking maybe I should actually interview my parents about their life

When I go to panels, I always get inspired to re-read books or study more about the topic. I'm at the lord of the rings panel and I'm making plans to become more of a Tolkien fan , this is not the first time I've made that plan
