Not watched the #BritAwards for years – it got to the stage where I needed Wikipedia to understand who everyone was. But I’m genuinely delighted Olivia Dean swept the board. ‘Rein Me In’ and ‘Man I Need’ have been on my Apple Music repeat, which I’m choosing to believe keeps me officially “current”.

I jus have gone to the wrong bookshop in the V&A on Monday as I missed it.

Binge watched the final four episodes on #Bridgerton S4 this morning. Loved!

This is a good result. I was seriously worried Reform were going to take this.

You can’t go to the biggest bookshop in Europe and not come away with a book or seven. 🫠 #BookSky @waterstones.bsky.social

CPD deadline approaching. @cipr.co.uk members have until 31 March to log 60 points.

This is my 8th consecutive year. CPD has helped me stay curious, keep learning, and grow as a comms professional.

If you haven’t logged yours yet, take a look. You may be closer than you think.

Thanks @jackshoulder.bsky.social for the recommendation to visit.

While in London today I popped into the V&A to see Michelangelo’s David — and I was genuinely blown away by the scale of it.

It’s extraordinary to think this was carved over 500 years ago, yet still feels so alive.

Oh this looks a fun read.

At its heart, My Friends is about the friendships we have when we are young and still figuring out who we are. The friends who believe in you when you don’t believe in yourself. The ones who quietly become your anchor. fable.co/review/e8de4... #BookSky

Oh I couldn’t find it on Audible

Is there any audio book version of this?

Anyone else use Fable? Feel free to follow.

Just finished Burying Jericho by @whusseyauthor.bsky.social. Another brilliant, twisty instalment in the Scott Jericho series, with a gripping mystery, strong sense of place, and plenty of unexpected turns. Full review ➡️ www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Actually love the result! Very me.

See what sort of caricature CHAT GPT makes of you, based on what it knows about your career!

All you do is go to ChatGPT, put in a photo of you, and use this prompt: “Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me."

See You at the Finish Line is a cute, cosy, and witty gay romance that delivers exactly what it promises. Read more:

It’s back. #Bridgerton

Where do I send my order to and can I get same day delivery? 🤣

I know you shouldn’t compare, but after watching The Traitors UK, the Irish version feels a bit low-rent. You can definitely tell the budget wasn’t there. That said, I think Siobhan is a fabulous choice as host.

The delivery I’ve been waiting on for ages has finally arrived. Looking forward to this one @whusseyauthor.bsky.social

Has anyone else started Traitors Ireland?

How’s your pair hangin’? The best place to find the answer is in the shower. A steamy shower helps the nuts to relax, creating prime conditions to feel around for anything out of the ordinary - like a lump, swelling or pain. Learn how to get to know your nuts movember.com/KnowThyNuts.

Sadly, this remains a real risk. Political memory is often short, and many people do not fully appreciate that Reform represents a rebranding of Tory policies. This is further exacerbated by widespread misinformation and a media environment dominated by soundbites and clickbait.

Shout-out to the customer service team at @octopus — consistently excellent, genuinely human and a reminder that good service really does matter. Thank you for your help today.

I haven’t watched the #GBBO since the departure of Mel, Sue and Mary - but with Nigella joining I may have to tune in again.

Been a Labour member since I was 21. It pains me to say it, but I’ve lost hope. If Labour want to win me back, they need to be clear: tax the rich and redistribute wealth. Until then, the @greenparty.org.uk and @zackpolanski.bsky.social feel like the only credible counter to Reform UK.
