@gwr.com I just love the assurance of having a seat reservation and the comfort of travelling my train.
No really, it’s absolutely great stuff.

Sincere apologies to anyone attending the @uwebristolofficial.bsky.social open day today who was planning to speak to me about the MSC Public Health programme! Sadly I have torn my calf muscle and can’t attend. Please get in touch and I will be happy to arrange a call next week!

My thoughts exactly! Critical thinking is an essential human skill, and we are going to lose it.

First day back in the office today following a really challenging couple of weeks on a personal level, and on my desk I find a bottle of wine, a packet of Flipz, some biscuits and a little note. Such a lovely surprise and it made my day!

Also Flipz should be illegal IMO - they are too delicious.

This poor young man - what a ridiculous state of affairs. I really feel for him and his family and hope for his speedy release. Let’s hope some people see sense very soon…

As I face up to the reality of returning to work on Monday and ponder how on earth I will get up before 11am, this post (stolen from Instagram) feels appropriate.

Let me frolic!

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia The billionaire has become one of the most prominent supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control.

We’ve escaped to the Forest of Dean for a couple of nights and visited the wonderful Severn and Wye Smokery en route. This was a β€˜small plate’ of mussels 😍

Highly recommend if you’re passing - the scallops were also amazing 🀩

What are we fighting for? A society where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.

We’re working to create a place where all of us – communities, councils, companies, charities and change makers – join forces in making #loneliness a stranger.

FUN FACT: Measles, polio, diphtheria, mumps, rubella and tetanus are six once-common illnesses that vaccines have contained for decades, saving many millions of lives.

Every time I look at @niallharbison.bsky.social posts I just feel like handing in my notice and going to live in Thailand to spend the rest of my days rescuing street dogs. I’m sure it’s not easy, but he makes it look like an absolute dream. Sigh. X
