Peter McClymont announced his Week 8 post in a tweet as “Rolf Harris, 10 inchers and other ephemera.” It is a very engaging piece of writing about his childhood fascination with analogue tech, with which many of us over a certain age will identify.
Peter Olding has contributed a Week 8 post on the subject of giving talks. He shares how he has used his love of aviation to practise talking in front of an audience.
Janet Harkin shared her experience of running an interactive session with Paul Webster (better known to some as @watfordgap) at the See IT in Action. Any interactive session including a game that involves jelly babies must be good!
A “quick post” by Carolyne Mitchell about an event that she was involved in organising: the first national public sector tweet meet in Scotland, named the Tartan Tweet Meet – #tartantm on Twitter. (There were lots of tweets about it, & obviously interesting discussions happening).
Another very interesting post from Diane Sims for Week 8 of Weekly Blog Club. This one is about a timebank, allotments, growing food, connecting people, a drawer full of seed packets, growing a community.
Mark Braggins has produced another great account of an event that should be of interest to many. This event, organised by the Society for Location Analysis (SLA), was about “geography, information and open data,” and attracted an unusual mix of people from public sector, acadaemia and commercial sector.

For her Week 8 post, Kate Bentham does not write about cake. She might write about giving things up (but that is not writing about cake). She writes something about what she appreciates in life (but is not writing about cake).
