Fully funded internships- get your own intern!

Last week was an interesting one.

Over the weekend I attended my first silent disco - at Exeter Cathedral - quite a spectacular sight.? On chatting with a potential new client this week, I found out she had been there too.? With three channels and so three different songs to choose from, it was quite a laugh seeing some swaying to a slow song and others jumping up and down! Have you ever been to a silent disco? I'd highly recommend it.

Last Tuesday, I was to pick up our new intern, Katie, and go together to the NatWestBoost event in Exeter, but it was not to be.?Just after I picked Katie up, the car tyre pressure warning light started flashing!? It was a dash to the nearest petrol station to check the pressure which was dropping fast.?To cut a long story short, we ended up trying two garages that were unable to help before admitting defeat and Katie headed home.? Two more garages and a new tyre later and I was off on my way, having missed the entire event!!?

The rest of the week was dominated by World Book Day (did you know there are two World Book Days because here in the UK we moved ours to fit around the Easter holidays?) Bethan went to school dressed as Hermione from the Harry Potter books ... as did half the school :)?

I hope that you have had a great week and enjoyed your weekend plans. For us, it was Mother's Day and we headed to the theatre for Sing-A-Long-Encanto!! I feel sorry for whoever is sitting near us as I will admit I can't sing for toffee!
