I rather think we might actually already be founder members tbh x

PSHE classes should definitely include the interesting wins associated with the menopausal developmental era 😏

Coffee please, iced also welcome.

Also menopausal, therefore demanding.

Sounds good to me. With extra sleep and suspended animation spaces in the school holidays.

So please: if you are able to help me celebrate either my 1000-miles-in-2025 excitement OR that 1012.5-Halfway-To-Target joy (while also, far more importantly, helping struggling families and children): all donations will be so very welcome.

However ... the only fly in my June celebration is that my £2025 target is falling behind my 2025 miles target.

I'll be honest: it's not the bit of this I love, asking for the cash ... but our amazing charity @thebelayfoundation.org.uk really does make such a difference.

Yep, 1012.5 miles exactly. (I even sacrificed an extra half mile I could have gained for the joy of precision half way joy - and I don't sacrifice any half miles easily!)

It's a good feeling, and a real boost after a real period of drought on the miles front. 😀

And secondly, today I hit not one but TWO milestones!

I cycled past the 1000 miles market on the way to work; and after cycling home and a short walk this evening I am excited to be - as I type - exactly half way to target.

However, today I have two things to share!

My gorgeous teen had an amazing amazing first day at his work experience placement. He is *buzzing*. And in turn I too am *buzzing* with excitement for him. (Though carefully modulating how much I express this of course. I am still a parent of a teen!).
