I'm sorry I haven't updated my weeknotes in a while. It's been a busy few weeks at work and home.

A lot has happened in that time. Including:

• Matt and Gwen started on the Data standards team. So, we now have an entire multi-disciplinary team 💪
• We went straight into it with a team kick-off in London (see team weeknotes)
• I was ill - nothing serious, just a bad case of man-flu.
• I went to Altea, Spain, for a long weekend. Lovely place.
• It was Easter.
• We developed a draft specification for development plan timetables, which should help users create valuable data during any plan-making process.
• I've been trying to get people to understand that a data standard doesn't answer all your questions; it gives you the raw ingredients you need to answer them.
• I've been to 1000 meetings. Some of them multiple times 😢
• I used Mermaid to generate some relational diagrams. Psd then trumped it with his bespoke tool.
• I wrote more JS than I have for a while. That was tough. And it is probably pretty rubbish.
• I used ChatGPT for a helpful thing.
• We ran a data creation workshop to test the development plan standard.
• I ate the best meal I've ever had 😋
