Running the Mersey

A good day at conference with a good mix of interesting seminars, good conversations and adequate alone time! I skipped the afternoon seminar in favour of a run along the Mersey, as too many seminars just becomes overwhelming. A nice run, but I'm still not feeling like I've got my full energy levels back. Most youth workers tend to be night owls and cope well with evening meetings that run from 7.30 - 9.30 with after hours social events on top of that. I struggle a bit with the evening meetings and laugh in the face of 'after hours'.

There are three significant Ms missing this year: Malesi, Martin and, of course...Murray. Conference isn't quite the same without them.
