The joy of the early walk to the station, a beautiful sunrise, one urban fox, the birdsong.

The downside, 3 hours later and the train still hasn't made it to Manchester.

The upside, powering through the emails.

It's all a matter of perspective.

7 years ago as we allowed youth services to be cut drastically, this was a conversation on Twitter between me and @saintlocks.bsky.social

Right now we are feeling the impact of those cuts both for individual young people and as a whole society.

I love watching #Traitors.

But.....

Apparently the reason for not trusting people is because they are nice or kind

What a sorry state of affairs for humanity when that is classed as unusual behaviour.

Lorry drivers frequently get a bad rap but I need to say a huge thank you to the absolutely excellent driving of all that I saw on the M6 M62 and M60 in heavy snow this morning. Safe distances, allowing significant extra stopping time. Made me feel safe in a frankly bottom twitching situation! ❤️

Quick trek up the Wrekin to find the snow!

🗣️ Gareth Ainsworth chatted to the press after watching his Shrewsbury side secure a Boxing Day win over Lincoln.

📹 Among several topics, the boss discussed the winning goal which came from a brilliant set-piece routine masterminded by Richard Dobson...

I've walked this hill for over 40 years and never seen it look like this. Rising above the clouds over the Shropshire valleys and plains - it was majestic!

Popping into a church at this time of year and if you are lucky there is choir rehearsing. Did that on the way to a meeting in Bolton today, no idea which school it was practicing but they sounded beautiful.

For those who cannot….

they’ll need to complain more about GP access & funding to their MPs

Yesterday I got to listen to and meet Dr Anthony Fauci at #IHIForum. His messages about championing science and truth, and about really listening to people, even if they present as adversaries are messages for the world. Thank you @theihi.bsky.social for enabling this.

Running around reactively shouting “Can this be done faster?”, and “This is too complex!” Is not leadership. 1/n
