In the midst of moving house and here are just a couple of things which are annoying me. There are cut wires, sockets without covers, smart home features which don't appear to work (or not way to work out how to make them work) and many more bits of fun. Adulting is fun

I never thought working in innovation would lead to me talking about exports, manufacturing, equity investment, and a whole host of things that affect SMEs. It really keeps the job interesting.

It has been a while since I've flown solo on a public speaking engagement. Appreciating the great feedback and chats after my talk. It's really hard to know how a think piece will go, but it was positive. Even better someone someone came and told me they love my trainers 💕

House hunting when you have kids is pants. Suddenly, you have to think about whether you'll be in the catchment area for a good school/s and that massively reduces your zones for searching. Also, the housing market is just pants right now. Argh!

My brain is mush at the moment. Mostly thinking about: *innovation ecosystems; *future of innovation; *UK growth (through innovation); *hoping I'll get time before taking to stage, next week, about what I want to say. Also, I'm trying to plan for a move up the country.

I really miss writing my end of week notes. My standard week, currently, is writing/explaining innovation and why a combination of supporting technology, business, and customer readiness leads to a greater chance of success.
