  • Running and subliminal messages

    On Saturday, I ran in the Southern Counties Cross Country Championships on Parliament Hill Fields. That makes it sound like I had to qualify for a place but all I did was put my name forward.

A couple of people have had to cancel attending tomorrow's portfolio building course in Edinburgh tomorrow but I think it's best we decided to continue. We'll be able to arrange something later in the year for those who couldn't...
