Shadow of Social Anxiety campaign and sign. This is an immersive art installation featuring a sculpture made up of everyday items that represent social situations where people may feel social anxiety. The shadow represents the feeling of isolation of people struggling with social anxiety and the fear that people are judging them.
Been in Manchester today for an exciting campaign launch for BACP. Highlighting the impact of social anxiety and how therapy can help.

The stats in this report are shocking. And this line is key to what must happen now…
The Government must invest in children’s mental health as an investment in the future of society.

Traitors' Alexander inspires fans to donate to Mencap - BBC News
Alexander Dragonetti says he is "so grateful" for donations to Mencap, which helped his brother.
This is lovely. It shows that even a programme like The Traitors, which in many ways celebrates negative characteristics in people, has also inspired people in a positive way.
Also fab PR for Mencap and great interview by its CEO on Radio 5Live just now.

A green parrot or macaw with a red face and yellow tail at tropical birdland in desford, leicestershire
We’d hoped that an escapee parrot or something exotic from nearby Tropical Birdland might fly into our garden and lans just as we were doing the #BigGardenBirdwatch, but no!

A paltry total of 4 woodpigeons and a robin 😢
A blackbird and some magpies flew overhead to taunt us.
Surpised that my 10-year-old stayed interested for so long, less surprised in his attempt to persuade me there was a peacock in our (very small) garden. 🦚

Ha. Or are they ground down and pushed to the bottom, despite a belief that they could be floating higher up?

A small cafetierre full of coffee next to a pack of dilly ding coffee with the Leicester city logo on it, from St Martin’s coffee roasters in Leicester
My meeting heavy day is being fuelled by dilly ding coffee. Lovely!
Obvious jokes in response about something needed to fuel some better #lcfc performances allowed, maybe.

'The Traitors', Agatha Christie, and The Kierkegaard Edit
How we consume story, versus how it's made.
Fascinating reading for all fans of #TheTraitors… and also those who love the power of storytelling.

Alt: Jamie Vardy going ‘sssssshhhh’
2025 starting well, as I’m currently top of my husband’s work’s fantasy premier league table (which I was only allowed to join on condition I don’t win it)
And yes I’ve used a Jamie Vardy gif here, even though he’s not in my team. #lcfc players have not done well for me this season 😢🦊

Yes, absolutely people can stop using it. But also, there are many positives to social media and many ways it can connect people and be a good thing. It’s a shame that’s being diluted and damaged by recent decisions that, in my view, are harmful and ridiculous.

Meta to replace 'biased' fact-checkers with moderation by users
Meta says its platforms will instead rely on
I know this is just US (for now?) and to do with Trump coming in as President… but this feels like a slippery social media slope into awfulness.

View of the King Power pitch ahead of Leicester City v Manchester City. A blue flag which reads Our Fight is held high above the fans. Flames coming out of those machine thingies at the side of the pitch too!
Excitement and energy from
#LCFC today. I thought they played well, but just didn’t do enough for the three points.
This match is also notable for the first time I’ve ever had to find somewhere to park to go to a home match. Obviously I parked outside our old house!

Muesli in a bowl, coffee in mugs and the Sunday Times spread out on the wooden top of kitchen table.
Weekend success was putting together the new kitchen table so we could sit and have breakfast, drink coffee and read Sunday paper at it this morning.

A silvery metallic cafetière. But perhaps i should have wiped off a few smeary finger prints before i took the photo!
This cafetière that keeps our coffee warmer for longer has been a game changer for our caffeine-fuelled comms team!!

Great to do something a little different - and spectacular - on a Friday night. We visited the stunning art installation Luxmuralis at Leicester Cathedral.

Blue sky, trees (with no leaves) and fields.
Inside the house, on my day off, playing around with Blue Sky, when I could actually head outside and enjoy the real blue sky (and the bracing, cold air!)
Time to put down my phone and go for a walk!
