I only worked one day this week. Or, more accurately, I only went to work at risual<\/a> one day this week. There was plenty of work in the week though – and a similar amount of travel to a normal working week too!<\/p>\n

Monday was a good day. We had our biannual summit at risual and, like the last one, we ran it as a mini-conference (risual:NXT) with a keynote followed by 22 sessions over 4 tracks – and I was responsible for the technology track again.<\/p>\n

I also brought my 13 year-old son to work with me. He had a great day and it was fantastic to see my colleagues make him so welcome as he helped our ops team to run the day. And the highlight for him? Holding up the cards to tell me when I had 10, 5, 2 minutes left in my presentation and then time’s up. I went 1 minute over (into my Q&A time) and he was sure to tell his Mum and his little brother when he got home! (Believe me, there are people who are far worse at sticking to their allotted presentation time than me!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As it was half term where I live, I took the rest of the week off but it was still pretty busy. With a loft conversion planned in the coming months, there’s a lot of “sorting out” to be done in my house and the pile of recycling sacks that I’ll be leaving for the bin-men next week is only the tip of the iceberg. In addition to sorting out my own place, I took a trip to South Wales to help empty my Gran’s flat as she moves into care. That’s when I ended up at a recycling centre where I saw this sign\u00a0and I really did wonder if the Welsh language is just a joke played on the English (it’s not really!)…<\/p>\n

\"Welsh<\/p>\n

One of the most enjoyable parts of the week was on Tuesday, when I took my eldest son to Derby Arena<\/a> for a track cycling experience with Team MK<\/a>. My only previous visit to a velodrome was at Lee Valley<\/a>, where I was in the spectator seating above the track. At Derby the track is on a mezzanine level above a sports hall so you can stand underneath and really get a feel for how steep the banking is (42 degrees, I believe). Nevertheless, my son went from “never-ridden-a-track-bike” to “fearlessly-hammering-it-around-the-top-of-the-track” in less than 2 hours and I think this could be the first of many trips to a velodrome…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I want to have a go now!<\/p>\n

Next week, I’m back to work and should finally be getting into the swing of things with my Modern Workplace project, plus an evening BCS meeting and an “AI envisioning session” with Microsoft. Watch this space!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
