Friday on my mind.

Just a note to say thank you to the organisers of the conference for such an amazing conference. I had a fantastic time and I am now bursting with ideas to take back to my work, best of all, my boss was with me at the conference and we are busting with the same enthusiasm!!

Here is a link to Neil McClelland's Booktrust website. I just had a little poke around and it is as inspiring as the speaker himself. I am an ex-pom (I have the certificate to prove it) and I have to admit one of the most pressing questions I had at question time was - Does Southend United have a "Soccer" Reading ambassador? My Dad has been staying with me this week and the team is all I have heard about when not at the conference. Actually, Southend has been having a pretty good year.

I also really enjoyed yesterday afternoon's presenter, Jason Clarke from Minds at Work. His presentation was amusing, challenging and interesting. I was blown away and I think most of the rest of the auditorium was too.

So that's it. Now to start planning a journey in 2008...
