That's me done with work for this year. As always, I find the best way to turn off my work brain ready for a holiday is to write a top 5 to-do list to pick up when I come back. It's done, time for Christmas!

Hello Bluesky, here's an introduction to me! 👋 I'm a GI specialist and CGeog, currently leading a data and GIS team in English local government. I like FOSS for people-focused analysis. I ran the Women+ in Geospatial Mentorship Programme for 4yrs supporting nearly 500 participants. Nice to meet you!
