8th March 2010 Anyone for a fish supper?
My excitement is palpable, 5 more days until I leave the UK for two weeks and jet off to sunnier climes. Australia to be precise. Excited doesn't even cover it, I am beside myself with the thought of escaping the "coldest winter for over 30 years", dispelling the faithful Uggs and winter coat and spending a couple of weeks lazing on Bondi and wine tasting in the Margaret River. So, imagine my disappointment on casually glancing at the Sky News application on my iPhone and coming across this little beauty:

Great. I am basically escaping the cold of Manchester to be battered by hailstones the size of marbles and torrential rain; and, as if that's not bad enough, read the last paragraph...

yes, you read it right, there are raining fish?! Yuck. It sounds like I am about to step into the scene from a Bible story.
Still, I have a busy and exciting week ahead to distract me for the time being... The pinnacle of this excitement is that I am off to attend the Melcrum Internal Communication Change Conference in London. With topics being covered such as effective employee engagement, re-branding by consensus and cultural change, being delivered by Heads of Internal Comms from some of the UK's biggest and most respected companies, it is set to be an interesting two days. No doubt news from the conference will be appearing on our website before the end of the week, so watch this space!
Finally, before I sign off, I wanted to take this opportunity to pay tribute to a close friend of mine who sadly and suddenly passed away two weeks ago due to a carbon monoxide leak at her house. Not only is this a shocking and terrible loss for everyone who knew Katie, and especially for her husband and family, but it is also such a tragic waste of a beautiful young life. Without wishing to depress anyone too much, I feel duty-bound to encourage anyone reading this who doesn't already have a carbon monoxide alarm to invest one, it could be the best £20 you ever spend. I will be running a £10k race in July and raising funds for the Katie Haines Memorial Trust, which is still in the process of being set up, but if anyone wishes to donate in the meantime then please get in touch.
