This weekend I will... paddle out in my kayak and play waboba with my teenagers and husband and love the heat and sky
I wish I’d never... made this guy on the train sad when I was young by not controlling my horrified look when I was scared by his disfigurement
I’d originally planned to work... as an opthalmologist (and cure the world of colour blindness)
The qualities I most value in my colleagues are... kindness and intelligence
I’ll never forget... (where I put my keys - I wish) but more likely my time in Japan as an exchange student, the best days of my life - children's births, etc. and the sublime moments when everything is in harmony
If I had more time, I’d... write a diary again
I’m most scared of... things happening to my kids that they cannot cope with
For my next holiday... I want to go with my daughter somewhere they speak Spanish
I can’t get enough of... holidays with my family
I’m really terrible at... finishing the end of sentences
My big hope for the drug and alcohol sector is... that it can be supported well enough to enable clients and their children to prosper and love life
The sector’s biggest challenge going forward is... finding enough funding, and being able to manage complex inter-generational and family problems, maintaining secure research funding for individuals and organisations.
