This week I’ve been:
Mozilla
Dynamic Skillset
- Setting up a new bank account. I decided to go with Santander in the end as TSB seemed to want far too much information about me and my business.

Next week I’ll be mostly working from home. On Thursday I’m taking a day’s holiday from my Mozilla role to speak at the Future Classrooms event in Northern Ireland – my first gig for Dynamic Skillset!
I also need to get writing. I’ve got a couple of books to make progress on and some articles I said I’d write for people. It’s an odd time.
