Think I’m done with social media.

And I’m the son of a kindertransport refugee and the surge in antisemitism hurts.

I’m sorry. It was not meant to be. I got it wrong - I was trying to ask whether you’d voiced your views about the fires and antisemitism elsewhere cos I know you have other channels. I’ve got sick of social media and so I suppose I wanted your voice elsewhere. That’s all. Again apologies

See my reply to you and her. She got the wrong end of the stick or I wasn’t specific enough. Or both.

Yup I know. She got the wrong end of the stick. Or I miscommunicated. I was referring to the hope she was talking about the anti-semitism re the LA fires specifically but did not make that clear.

Yes I know. I’ve read several of them. There’s no need to be patronising. It was merely a humble suggestion. This place is an echo chamber.

I was also referring to whether you’re voicing your views on LA fires elsewhere. I hope so. I wish you well.

Yes I know. I’ve read several of them. There’s no need to be patronising. It was merely a humble suggestion. This place is an echo chamber.

I honestly think you’re amazing. I don’t mean to be rude but I also think you’re wasted on social media preaching to the converted. Might your energy, wisdom and talent be better spent elsewhere? Maybe you’re doing that too. It was just a thought.

I’ve had more folk congratulating me on getting to week six of Couch to 5k than living through two years of mental hell. 🤔

A snow covered field surrounded by snowy trees. The night sky is a soft blue and starry. A green aurora can be seen in a ring across it

Froze my butt off for this view, but look at it!!! ✨

I’ve started an evaluation project. Done four calls out of 18 and my brain seems to function. Made sure I only do two interviews per day. Feeling pleased with myself for a change. It’s tough to rebuild.

A year ago almost to the day, I lost a ring made by my son. I swear I lost it on the third floor of the Enfield shopping centre car park. Today my wife found it at the back of the kitchen cupboard behind the oat cake packets. #2025miracle
