A welcome change of (weeknoting) pace. My monthnote for October.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@TrillyC I do have a couple of tips for monthly in case it's helpful:
1) add to the note throughout the month, don't try to remember it all at the end
2) commit to publishing by x working days after month end - no one wants an October monthnote in mid-November.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@TrillyC I get you. I can't commit to weekly and it feels like failure if I try to.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@Redmoor_Dill Thanks, Dillon. I agree!

Here's my monthnote for October: https://t.co/9uuyUGFDvZ

@nickw84 Ha! I was though delighted to discover that Acton has the full set of North, South, East, West and Central stations.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@nickw84 I just hit 50% and am running out of steam, so well done.

This quiz does not want to recognise the existence of Kentish Town though.

I've really enjoyed the 365 Tiny Sci-Fi Stories from @smllwrlds. A book would be very welcome.

@marxculture Transpontine forever.

@KevinGMayfield NHS England does not have a single digital strategy. Its ambitions for the NHS App are expressed across multiple documents - this is our attempt to synthesise and simplify those into something that the people who design, build and run the NHS App can easily work with.

Today and tomorrow, NHS App teams are planning what we will do in January, February and March 2024. Here are the messages I shared with them at the start of the day:

@blangry I could do this.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@EdDavie We can dream.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

I am enjoying what looks like it will be Netherlands' first win over one of the big teams in #cwc23

And yes, I did enjoy Afghanistan's win over England too.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@e17chrisfleming Thanks, Chris. Will do!

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@blangry It's necessary. We have 11 product teams and they could so easily be stepping on each other's toes without it. (I also have some v organised colleagues who are in charge of the 2 days.)

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@bashthebox Give me a moment! I'm still having my lawyer review the T&Cs.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

Exclusive, no video and no DMs? Sign me up. If anyone has a spare B****y invitation I would like one please.

[James Higgott @jiggott]

@cjforms @Martha_Edwards I've got one now, thank you.
