@Edent Happy Birthday! 😄🎉

@wrrrdnrrrdgrrrl how intriguing! 😀 what’s your book about?

@Annie3h I’m going to attempt to switch servers to mastodon.me.uk when new slots become available next week 😀 seems like most of my existing network are over there and I’m not vining with my local timeline atm. See you on the other side 🖖

Needed to find an energy performance certificate for my house purchase.

How cool to use a service built by colleagues, and to know a little of the behind-the-scenes of what goes into creating a service that’s easy to use, accessible, understandable and available anytime 💚💛🧡❤️

@Zoe_on_the_go Would like to learn more about ways to demonstrate trade-offs to teams. Eg you’ve asked for this feature to meet x need, but we can’t do that right now as it’ll compromise y release.

@Annie3h oh nooo! Followed the ‘join any server, it doesn’t matter advice’ but clearly it does matter 🥴 will look into it, thanks for the heads up! ❤️

#Introduction

Hi, I’m Coco 👋🏻

I split my time between work (#CivilService #digital with a current focus on #HomesForUkraine) and my 2nd career in #music. I trained as a scientist (#pharmacology), so I’m keen on #data #evidence #scientificmethod etc

As a business analyst I float between technical, research and #design spaces, which suits me just fine! I ❤️ variety

I’m keen to learn more about #accessibility #ServiceDesign #CommunityBuilding #ProductManagement 💛

I play #percussion #piano and occasionally sing soprano. You can expect lots of #brassband toots 🎺

I’m trying to #write more, and am currently taking part in #nablopomo

#newbie question: what’s the best iOS #app for mastodon? Finding the navigation & discoverability tricky on default. Thanks 🙏🏻

@Edent Ooh didn’t realise .gb links were a thing.

Side bar: it’s really nice to see work & a blog post about turning something off, rather than building something new 🧹

#NaBloPoMo part 5: Quick read on fun, #culture and a bit of rugby for good measure 😄

#writing

Back at work today after leave and it was great. Such a relief to feel useful again.

I’m trying not to rush back into everything too soon, but there are so many cool things going on!

Observed 2x research calls, caught up with our service owner & deputy director, watched last week’s show and tell (go team!), dealt with emails 🙌

Amazing how being out of action for a bit can fuel the fire.

@jonodrew A second haka! Goosebumps

@jonodrew what an incredible match. Best rugby I’ve seen this year

@jonodrew My heart is beating so fast rn

“The difference in coaching the women’s team is the smiling, the laughter, the dancing”

Yessss - it is possible to be joyful and high performing! ✨

#WomensRugbyWorldCup #NZLvENG #BlackFerns

@ianames Oooh, need to get tickets to see this! Cried at the trailer

@jonodrew Was definitely worth the early alarm!

What a handy list! 😍
