PhD student #tinnitus and #hyperacusis. Chartered PR Practitioner. Northerner in East Anglia. Bookworm, yarn & thread maven.
Off to London today, hence the #trainselfie. I'm attending the launch of @tinnitusuk.bsky.social 's Tinnitus Week report at the House of Lords. Rather smart!
Looking forward to seeing others from the tinnitus community and catching up!

Daffodils are such a cheerful flower and a reminder that winter and darkness always pass. And at £1 a bunch, they are an absolute bargain - I've filled this jug for a couple of quid, and the colour and scent really lift the spirits!

It’s Tinnitus Week, led by the excellent team at @TinnitusUK
As part of my PhD, I’m exploring how tinnitus & hyperacusis are assessed & managed in primary care. If you’re a GP, I’d really value hearing from you via a 10 min survey

We had a great day in Ipswich yesterday - lunch at Noodle 92 and then off to New Wolsey Theatre, where we saw a three person production of David Copperfield. I'm not a Dickens fan, but this was excellent - engaging, energetic, funny, moving.

One thing that’s taken some adjustment in my PhD is the pace of outputs. Unlike working life, there aren’t daily deliverables in the same way - progress is slower, quieter, and often invisible.
But those small milestones matter. They’re the bricks that build the bigger picture. 1/3

Another cracking night out at the John Peel Centre for Creative Arts with 3 excellent performers - Lianne Kaye, The Wilswood Buoys and The Leylines. It's a shame The Leylines are calling it a day soon 😐
And all for the princely sum of £17 each including booking fee...

I set myself some goals for 2025, and the results are a bit of a mixed bag in terms of the numbers. Some I smashed, some I didn't come close! And there are lots of things I did that I didn't even plan.

A rare shot of Arlo sleeping with his eyes tightly shut and completely at peace with the world. Maybe he was making sure he'll be awake at midnight to see the new year in?

At the end of this month, I’ll officially be stepping down from my volunteer role with CIPR East Anglia, bringing ten rather wonderful years to a close.
Ten years of brilliant colleagues, thoughtful debate, excellent training, and the sort of encouragement that quietly but firmly nudges you

Finished! This was one of my Christmas gifts from my partner - definitely one poinsettia that won't go leggy and spindly!
It's been added to my other Christmas Lego and Lego-dupes. It's not an obsession, honest!

Today in 2022, we lost my dad, whose big & brave heart failed under the strain of MND
But, he's not really lost. I carry him with me all the time - not just in my memories, but in my interests, my hazel green eyes, my sweet tooth, my curiosity & in how I approach life.
Cheers, dad!
