My thanks to @tomogg.bsky.social and @icca.ac.uk for a great training session at @matrixlaw.bsky.social on cross-examination. I am looking forward to using these skills in cases very soon.

Many thanks for @icca.ac.uk for supporting our mooting trip to the Faculty of Advocates in Edinburgh. A fantastic event including a first class moot and a series of advocacy training exercises.

Betty is about to help me write my first skeleton argument for a moot next weekend. But first I have to take the first born to work. #btposse

Spare hooman had to take apart the sucky monster. It isn't all my fur! Apparently the fake Christmas tree needles might have been a bigger issue. The alpha will be pleased as she said it couldn't be my fur, as I am beautiful. #btposse

Come on spare hooman, stop looking at the Dartford warbler and give us the salmon treats in your pocket. The alpha wouldn't make us wait this long. #btposse

Apparently Bob and Betty cannot quite believe that the spare hooman is working from home today after two days at "work". Spending the last two days with the alpha has clearly been exhausting. #BTposse

So the spare hooman did eventually take us. It was brilliant. It was even better when the spare fell over and got wetter and muddier than we did. #btposse

Do we have to go out in the cold and rain? We will be good. Honestly.

So I took the dogs for what I thought was a gentle stroll on the Common. However, they are absolutely knackered. Betty's recall has significantly improved. #btposse

So it appears that Betty my Border Terrier also moonlights as an Ewok. Not an actual picture of Betty. I don't dare give her a spear.

I have just discovered that I can watch the court of appeal live, via YouTube, on my TV. What an opportunity to watch advocacy.

I have just washed out four zip-lock bags. Following in a noble tradition that even the late President Carter carried out according to his grandson.

Bob and Betty asked to escape the house and have a walk along the River Wey. The waters are receding.

I had a seriously wet walk today. Both Bob (patterdale terrier) and I got wet feet, as the River Wey has burst it banks in places. The walk made a welcome break from preparing pupillage applications. Heard then saw a kingfisher.
