Amazing update from @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social about the impact of their reporting on Andrew Milne. Doesn't seem like he's going to be getting away with his leasehold scamming any more. Particularly enjoyed this part.

Fave pic from yesterdays @bookieprize.bsky.social ceremony. @lilycanter.bsky.social and I are thrilled we made it as far as the shortlist and it was hilarious to be collectively referred to as the Ultra Women for a day 🤣

Imagine if adults fidgeted in the same way as children. Here’s where the 10yo absentmindedly ended up while telling me about the laser quest party he’d just been to. Literally climbing the walls (cabinets).

You know that thing where the kid designs a Christmas card at school and then you buy it to raise money for the PTA - can’t wait to send this beauty to some ageing relatives. Yes that’s right it’s Santa blasting through the wall (cos some people don’t have chimneys) with a penguin…

Want to give kids resilience - send em out for a cross country race that was already churned up by the secondary schools last week and after a LOT of rain yesterday. And then strip them off before anyone is allowed back in the car 😂

Hectic day planned with the 12yo’s ‘Yardball’ party (think chaotic loud indoor street football) so of course I end up in A&E for hours with the 9yo having an asthma attack. And get parking ticket 🤦🏼♀️. Partner was quickly deep cleaning house so thank god the 15yo is an expert baker and legend 👩🍳 🙌 🥰 🤪

Well they said no one would be interested cos it’s about women… so it was a bit of a jaw-dropping moment to find out that @lilycanter.bsky.social and I have made it on to the @bookieprize.bsky.social for Ultra Women. (Currently running around the house screaming excitedly!!)

There are some specialities where you can see online access working quite well and there are others where you suspect this ends up as another way for patients to be moved around different bits of the NHS before ending back at the GP asking for help... Let's see how the experiment plays out...

@lilycanter.bsky.social and I are over the moon that Ultra Women has made it onto this year's @bookieprize.bsky.social longlist. Many of you will know that it was a long road to get this book published but we always had faith that people would want to hear these stories. @canburypress.bsky.social

@lilycanter.bsky.social and I had a trip to London today for Ultra Women book promo and had a lovely chat with Jenni Falconer for Run Pod. Spent the afternoon in British Library finishing a big investigation and also managed 26k steps. I’ll sleep well tonight ;-)

Teamed up with running buddy @lilycanter.bsky.social once more for inaugural SheRACES Trail Series in the peaks. 50k no messing and kept running even though I was a bit of a grump near the end. Lily told me to crack on and I did! 6.5h not too shabby and nice day for it
