Nobody should have to set their alarm for 6am on Friday night alas i did and was at the Institute of Education all day Saturday. Im on the grind (as they say) Mon-Fri but Sat marked the start of the taught-modules for my Ma in Leadership which would whisk me and my brain cells away to a better, smarter place.
Im not a proper academic but i do love a bit of learning. Life long baby!
I wont indulge in all the fascinating content of the day's lectures but just to give you a taster below is a link to an article by Michael Maccoby on why we still need leaders who are visionaries.
Another highlight was TED... but more about this another time....
Sunday was spent with my beautiful, beautiful sister who at the age of 15, took ME out for the day. We went to see Blaze at The Peacock theatre where a huge chunk of the audience had come to see Tommy and Lizzie from 'So You Think You Can Dance' -my sister included.

Im not far off from this standard myself but i prefer not to be restricted by choreography.
