So far, this has been the ultimate bad experience. My purse was stolen on Saturday. I only have (well, had) one purse, and in it was everything credit-card sized. This included 4 bank cards, driving licence and numerous loyalty cards. There was also some money, but as I am notoriously badly organised when it comes …
Agile2010 seems like a long time ago, and a long way away now that I am sitting back at my desk in Blighty. But for the purposes of completeness, I thought I should blog about the final day of the conference. First things first – there were no pancakes for breakfast. I won’t pretend that …
A couple of Agile2010 facts: 1400 attendees at Agile2010 Made up of 38 nationalites (I’ve met USA, Canada, Argentina, India, Isreal, Denmark, Norway, UK) >260 talks, on about 18 stages How many employees do you think Disney has? I’ll let you think about that… Tonight was the finale party. A grand event inside EPCOT (what, …
It’s more difficult to write this now that I know it’s been circulated to my team at work… whether or not anyone’s reading it is another matter altogether, but c’est ca. Breakfast seems like a long time ago now, but since that’s how I’ve started the other posts, I may as well continue with that …

Day 2… Burritos for breakfast anyone? Yes please. My favourite food, and at the start of the day. Perfect. And I sat next to someone from Cooper at breakfast, who described Alan Cooper to me which tickled and intrigued me. Interesting breakfast observations: The longest queue in the house was for the fruit and cereal …
Of course the first thing one has to do at the start of the day is eat. So I wandered across to the Dolphin where the entire conference will be held. I was quite surprised at the sheer number of conference attendees – there must have been about 100 round tables, which could each seat …
The flight was good, it arrived on time (after possibly the longest taxi in the world), I cleared customs (after handing in an apple and an orange brought in from the UK – I knew I should have eaten them on the flight!), and found my way to the Mears Transportation desk for my transfer …
So I’ve missed entering a few training sessions in here… but that doesn’t matter now! Today was race day. I along with more than 2000 other ladies, mostly dressed in pink, turned up to run 5km around Windsor race course. The start of the race was delayed as there was so much traffic for the …
Oops, I missed out training day 7. I didn’t run round Loch Leven – I went to the lovely Rosie Maclean’s christening instead, followed by a garden party and then a rather disappointing football game watched in Edinburgh airport. I arrived home to a very warm Wokingham at about 7pm raring to go on my …
I have been known to be a fair weather runner. In fact, I am probably best known for not being a runner at all. Anyway, all that aside, I woke up at 6:30 this morning and ended up going for a run in the rain. Yes, a RUN in the RAIN. I’m still getting over …
