For Monday 6th July – Sunday 12th July 2026.
At work:
- Catchment project: our very first beach engagement event went super well! The stand looked great and the team spoke to over 100 people, it’s been very useful.
- Strategy co-design project: session 2 and all the follow-ups, write-ups, and planning session 3 off the back of it.
- Engagement coordination project: planning meeting, getting underway properly now.
Deliverables this week:
- Strategy co-design project: as above – did workshop #2, which was a reflection on #1 and prep for #3.
Development this week:
- Been asked to speak about a project I worked on (where we talked to a bunch of women to develop the women’s health website for Wales). The theme of the event is women’s health (it’s a ministerial event), the morning is about pain and the afternoon about women’s voices. The audience will be the minister and some civil servants as well as a bunch of leaders and managers from health boards. I’ve managed to include an XKCD comic in the middle of my very serious slides so I’m pretty pleased with myself 😁 (That’s probably the main thing they’re going to remember tbh.) Sent them off for translation because they need to be bilingual. (For the first time in modern Welsh history we have a cabinet that is fully Welsh speaking! It’s awesome!)
At home:
- 3 pilates this week, no HIIT, still trying to figure out a rhythm that works for me to fit everything in that I like to do, as well as having some space.
- Swim on Sunday, turned into a many families beach thing around one of the swim girls’ birthdays, it was lush. The water was warm and there was cake!
- Researched and booked a yurt for 2 nights and 1 whole day of doing NOTHING at the weekend, in the cool under the trees in West Wales. Was good to get R&R away from the flat where the office and the unfinished DIY jobs are looking at me.
