Well, that's a first...

rosa_heartlily A year ago I was getting feedback on my new reports (still very proud of those) and being given more work to do, looking forward to Ghost of Yotei (loved it!) and Wednesday (didn't get far with that), and watching Andrew Garfield's 'Who do you think you are?'.
Today I got the penultimate batch of slides for my virtual pilgrimage. I think I'm going to miss it when I'm done.
After breakfast, I headed over to the Cathedral for Graduation. Somehow there was a mix-up between the seating plan and seating cards - never had a problem like that in 25 years of helping at Graduation. But it brought some excitement to the morning and we got them all across the stage, OK.
Then I headed to the office to meet a colleague who is, for want of a better word, my mentee. They've got a great idea for a regular podcast to showcase the area they work in but they're struggling to make it happen - but they've made a lot of progress. They're also from another country and I can't express how much I admire them travelling so far and making a life here. They were describing how their accent sometimes works against them - but also the difficulty they have in understanding UK accents!
LM and a colleague from one of the dev teams has solved the mystery of calendars in P4W! We've now got a 'project calendar' with bank holidays and closure dates in. Then individuals go in and put their own holidays in. That's one thing I like about LM - their sheer bloody-minded persistence :D
I managed to scrape up an hour's AI activity - some articles and a podcast - then headed home early so we could have tea in a civilised manner before my church meeting. My clematis duo and wallflower seeds arrived today, and the acer and geranium should be with us in the next couple of days.
The evening meeting went really well, despite Zoom threatening to cut us off after 40 minutes. We got all the JDs farmed out and I'm going to write up the notes. The really weird thing was that I (the host) couldn't record but the guests could! So, the person from the Diocese is going to send me the recording.
Now I'm finishing the day with a couple of episodes of Doctor Who.
