Foxes are cute, but if they wake me up, I will think about DDC!
Lots to pack into what, has ultimately been, a three day week.
The good things this week
- Seeing my team IRL for the first time since December and getting a lovely gift from them.
- Reading charity partnership applications.
- Having a great planning meeting for the future of DDC — and it’s only been going 4 weeks today!
Difficulties
Getting out of bed this morning. A skulk of foxes (it may have just been one) woke me up last night. Queue brain engaging. Guess what I was thinking about? Yep, the future of DDC…!
Achievements
Reading all the charity applications for the offices I support, and getting them out to local teams.
Learned things
- That the collective noun for foxes is skulk.
- That my dog likes the taste of my sofa.
I think Ziggy and other animals might become a theme of week notes.
Overarching feeling of the week
Excitement. I remember someone saying about me once that they thought my excitement/positivity wasn’t real. Nope, I really am like this most of the time. A real glass half full, look on the bright side of life kinda gal. I know, it’s irritating. Sorry. Not sorry.
- I love my job
- I’m seeing friends this weekend and getting to celebrate my birthday IN REAL LIFE and not over Zoom!
- I get to walk on the beach whenever I want and
- I’ve started sewing again (having finally cleared a space in the spare room)
Highlights
Getting some workshops in the diary — more to come in the newsletter.
Some puzzles
There are so many places we could take DDC, that I need some headspace to really start to distill things down. This long weekend has come at a great time to let the ‘dust’ of the last four weeks settle and sink in, so hopefully I can come back fresh next week and start to get some of this stuff down.
Have a great week all.
