a Compliment

Don't tell him, but my son made my day today. It was in school playground- the place where all the real learning takes place! - and they were talking about parents. You know, how embarrasing some of you are.... Well it turns out that after several cringe tinged stories from the boys, one of my son's friends announces that I am a legend. Well, it took a lot of willpower not to break into a big silly smile or do a little jig. I was totally made up that a fourteen year old thought I not only passed the cool parent test but surpassed it! whoo hoo.

Hitting The Big Time!

I attended an event last week in Manchester (took me forever to find the entrance into City of Manchester museum!) called Hitting the BIG time. It was aimed at the African Carribean business community, and organised by Businesslink Northwest. I met some really cool people and made great contacts.

Key issue at the event was collaboration: working together as individuals, small and medium enterprise owners, or even mega firms coming together to make even greater impact! About time too I say.

It was an enjoyable event,'good job' and thank you to the organisers.

August Rush

Have you seen this movie? You should if you haven't. Such beautiful performances, particularly from the delightful Freddie Highmore. Love it. love it....
