And so, just like that, a few days away has come to a close:

💵 Yes, it is ludicrously expensive.
🏎️ Yes, it’s a bit of a mess as they’re setting up the barriers for the Grand Prix.
🏨 Yes, staying at the Fairmont meant we got to see the hairpin corner and the tunnel on both sides of the hotel.

So, turns out you don’t need to go the casino in Monaco to lose all of your money.

Just being here does that. €18 for a beer. 🍺 €50 for a pizza 🍕 And the hotel car park? Well, that’s as bonkers as you’d expect.

The tennis yesterday was good though! 🎾

👀 Something new (and exciting) is on the way…

It’s practical. It’s relevant. And it’s shaped by people who’ve walked in your shoes.

When you need that spring in your step….

Just back from a few days in Norway 🇳🇴. A glimpse of the northern lights, but mostly snow, and family fun

If there is a better doughnut company out there, I’m yet to taste it. But, I’m willing to do the research.

Hotel Villa Florida, on Lake Garda. Perfection for a relaxing holiday

Can’t beat a doughnut from @doughnotts

Autumn is arriving….

LOVE this. What a fantastic endorsement of what we’re building at @keystoneknowledge.com

@m-c-w.bsky.social and Pip delivered a webinar this am about HR challenges in schools. It’s great to see the dynamics between colleagues, but also the great feedback about the session. 👏

Have managed to get our custom domain working on here, so now the username is a whole load tidier. See screenshot below.

This could be really useful for associating several work accounts together, eg. If you have school departmental accounts, or want to ‘authenticate’ key leader’s accounts.

A beautiful holiday is already 10 days ago. How time flies. #LakeGarda.

Fortunately we also survived me almost killing everyone when I almost rolled the rental car over an Italian mountain edge!

I think the car in front of me has a Tesla. Not sure we’re going to find him on this platform
