For Dan’s birthday I had clubbed together with the family to get him a Red Letter Day voucher. He decided to use it on a flying lesson and so we set off to Solent Flying School, near Bournemouth, for him to go flying. When we arrived it turned out that I could go up with him as a passenger in the back, so we both got a new experience. The little 4 seat plane was certainly different to flying in the big jets, and Dan had a great time learning the controls, and was even allowed to land the plane! There are a few pictures from the day in the gallery – ‘Away with Dan’ album.

I do like to keep busy, and my latest venture is to get involved with a new charity being set up. Inspired Living is intending to raise money for cancer research, produce medical research and run a big cycling project in 2010. It should certainly keep me busy over the next year or so!

I’m hopefully going to be taking on the duties of non-academic event organisation for the BCSWomen later in the year. In expectation I organised an all day workshop on Cracking your strengths, followed by the AGM in the evening.
The Cracking your Strengths workshop was a fascinating day, run by Helen Duguid, and helped you work out what your top 5 key strengths were. The basic principle was that you could make a huge difference by recognising and improving on your personal strengths, rather than expending more effort for less gain when trying to improve your weaknesses.
The AGM in the evening was also good, with 2 speakers and the actual AGM itself. I was confirmed as non-academic events on the committee, and Karen remains our chair. There are a lot of changes going on in the BCS at the moment, but hopefully in the BCSWomen we will continue to grow and I’m looking forward to another good year.
