The one with more letters

Blog Sept 24

So yet again it has been a few weeks since my last post. Driven not by lack of action, but more like too much going on! The first thing that has happened recently is me graduating from Manchester University with an MSc in Project Management. I can’t thank the university and staff enough for their support. It is no secret that I have had issues with my mental health that caused me to require study interruptions. These were invaluable to me and Jenny, Callam, John and Rich you guys are brilliant. 

Then in August I represented Rolls-Royce PRISM Employee Resource Group at Belper Pride. A fabulous time was had. I started the day meeting my friend Debra for breakfast with her children at my favourite cafe Reunion. Then there was a parade. The biggest Pride parade I have experienced – I’ve been Scunthorpe, Ulverston and Belper. A highlight was a friend of mine dressing up as a furry animal to entertain the kids. It was lovely to witness. At one point Debra disappeared and came back with about 30 packs of Haribo to feed said kids. What a laugh. 

Later that day me, Isaac and a friends lad, Sam headed to south west Wales for the Celica Rally day hosted by Nicky Grist. This was on Nicky’s private rally circuit. Incredible is the only word I can use to describe it. 

Bloodstock 2024 did not disappoint either. I go most years but for some reason this year was the best. The bands were incredible and the company was pretty awesome too. Here’s me and Iggy living it up. 

Now September projects something different. It is operation Marathon beginning. I’ve got my weight down to 126kg from 140kg and I’m about to start running.
