Entrepreneur, now exited. iNED. Past Master of the Company of Entrepreneurs. Tweeting about City of London, Livery and HE. Apparently a flying monkey….
This weekend, I’ll be trying to persuade Mrs D to let me take her away for a two week cruise to the Western Caribbean. I feel that she will be reluctant. Place your bets!
I’m delighted to report that the present Mrs Dixon, @Lindalanchester, is still excellent wife material, having stood for two hours in the rain to get this pic of me doing the #GreatNorthRun2024. Happy to confirm her reappointment to the role for another 40 years.
I am delighted that @UniofLeicester has been shortlisted for the prestigious Times Higher Education University of the Year 2024. Fantastic recognition for the hard work of students, staff, alumni, and all our supporters. @timeshighered#CitizensOfChange
I had lunch yesterday with a friend. She was bemoaning how hard it is to take time to exercise, as you get older. I explained that I’d just watched a young woman, WITH NO ARMS, compete in the #Paralympic2024 archery competition. It’s all about focussing, and getting on with it.
Getting my Parkrun routine back on track. After holidays, injuries and alternative hikes, it’s good to get back to my normal Saturday morning, visiting a new Parkrun. 👍🏻
