@tobit_e Huge congratulations, Dr!!

@GeekDadGamer although this in the shoes that arrived this morning… I mean, I’m wearing them on my feet, not my ….

Women's running shoes so much cheaper than men's. Strangely these ones seemed fine with my man feet. It's as if footwear isn't really gendered.

Fab workshop this morning, looking at culture and values for the new ⁦@SomersetCouncil⁩ I love this kind of work, the stories, experiences & views from colleagues are so rich. 90 of these planned, leading to our new people strategy ⁦@Som_Careers⁩

@mefairhurst Well, written in Sharpie on the lid where there might be confusion, but if you don’t know your coriander seeds v cumin seeds then out of my kitchen!!

@ChrisJSquire I feel there has been an IKEA trip involved here. #wotnolabels ??

Kate’s made me put my spices in jars and now I feel that the one last barrier to fully-grown adult life has been removed.

I get to run. He gets to chase a ball. Saturday morning happy

Beyond proud of Erin - Supported Employee of the Year at the SEBP Awards! A fantastic achievement for a phenomenal individual ❤️ @SomersetEBP @SomersetCouncil

In the face of private sector wage rises, time & flexibility is one thing local government has to offer to recruit & retain, and it’s proven to work. Oh dear. Minister asks South Cambridgeshire council to end four-day week trial bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

@Linsjohns You’re very kind, Lindsay, I merely play a supporting role to an amazing group of women

Really proud that we've signed the Menopause Pledge @SomersetCouncil @WellbeingofWmen We had an amazing Menopause at Work week & are committed to training, awareness & policy on this. All led by our wonderful Menopause Staff Network @Som_Careers

A real highlight of the week: had my first reverse-mentoring session. A wonderful & thought-provoking hour with my young, black, female mentor; this will challenge & stretch me, positively, personally & professionally @SomersetCouncil

I am so proud that my employer @SomersetCouncil has signed the Menopause Pledge for staff members. It has been refreshing to have such open and honest conversations taking place and taking away the stigma of the impact that it can have on us. #menopause

@TheMJAwards @SomersetCouncil Fantastic and so well deserved!

Well done @SomersetCouncil for winning our innovation in partnerships award #localgov #mjawards

Father’s Day, daughters took me to see Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. Completely astonishing, loved every minute, still breathless. Plus some socks and chocolate.

@realsupermummym Aw, that’s nice of it. Of course, it does caveat itself by saying it’s not always accurate and is two years out of date…

@ChrisJSquire I did tell ChatGPT some jokes the other day! It said it was a witty play on words!

Anyone else using ChatGPT or Bing to help write job descriptions?!? Just include key tasks in the prompts & some excellent drafts come through…

This is desperately sad news. I enjoyed my time working with Christina & she did a lot to bring South West local government into the world of the NHS Leadership Academy somersetcountygazette.co.uk/news/23591432.…

@mefairhurst Ordnance Survey app this time!!

@ChrisJSquire @SomersetCouncil Cool! No google maps to use (blame!!)

Exeter to Yeovil is one of my favourite run-train commutes! Get to YVJ & it’s trails & parks all the way to town & then @SomersetCouncil offices. And cows.

Here we go again #dartmoordiscovery
