Helen was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at 42 in 2012; she died from it metastasising in 2017 aged 49 leaving me with 3 kids to raise alone.
No surprise I think screening for breast cancer in their 30’s is an extremely good idea.

NHS could start offering breast cancer checks to women in their thirties
Currently women are only eligible for breast screening from the age of 50, but thousands are diagnosed younger

I won’t be in London tonight with my fellow safc fans, my legs ache too much and I’m training at 4am. Walking across a sea of crushed beer cans, not yet..
If we win tomorrow there is a distinct possibility I’ll be paying Trafalgar Square & Covent Garden a visit though 😂

I work out early at the gym.
It’s nice and quiet the earlier it is. Far too busy after 6am.
Normally it’s a 4am start but if I wake up early like 1-2am I just go and work out, then sleep deeply after I shower.
Taking advantage of my irregular biphasic sleep patterns 😀

I thought the stupidest act of self immolation of an economy could never be topped with Tories choosing a idiotic hard Brexit which is still hammering the UK.

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

After losing four and a half stone, that’s 60lb or 27 kilos today has been a landmark day in clearing out my clothes.

Just migrated to my new MacBook Pro M4 Pro from the M3 Pro.
Going from 12 core 6 performance 6 efficiency cores to 14 core 10 performance and 4 efficiency is a very noticeable increase in horsepower.
As with my Samsung S95D QD OLED TV I really do love the matte nano texture display ♥️
