Today’s flower photo is of a couple of choisya blossoms way out of season that I saw on a local walk, illuminated by some unusual winter sun

New to me, brilliant as always from @mattedgar on Target Operating Models.

As I find myself saying, often: "instead of talking about how we might work in future, let's try doing some work now and find out what that feels like".

Shout out to the social distancing, plentiful sanitiser, low music and lovely nurses at the Blood Donation centre in Canary Wharf. I felt very safe, and able to do a small something for those fighting for their health in our hospitals. And the Kitkat afterwards are so good!
