Well deserved, rapturous standing ovation at @OfficialEvita tonight with hordes of people waiting at the stage door. It’s on for another week or so - if you get the chance to see it, grab it with both hands!
Another roaring success for @JamieLloydCo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Lovely run along the River Nidd yesterday evening with the oldest teenager (although I think she may have regretted her life choices half way through!)
Unable to post usual obligatory selfie as ‘Mother, do I look selfie ready?!?’ 😂

Testing a potential prototype daffodil costume today for the London Marathon next year. This one won’t be any good as I can’t see in it, but I’ll come up with something!
I’ll be running for @mariecurieuk - if you’d like to sponsor me, link below 🙏

Very proud to be with our Yorkshire team to represent @mariecurieuk.bsky.social at Leeds Pride today. After weeks of drought the heavens opened but the rain didn’t dampen spirits 🌈💛🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

What an incredible, cinematically beautiful, moving, powerfully written book. Thank you @drrachelclarke.com for such powerful story telling, and to my fellow passengers on the train who have tactfully ignored me crying quietly to myself as I read it!

Despite swearing I’d never run another road marathon, I couldn’t resist the chance to run the London marathon as a daffodil for Marie Curie!
If you’d like to sponsor me, I’d be really grateful.
Anyone able to help us make the daffodil headdress?!

A wonderful episode on BBC Radio4 @laurenlaverne.bsky.social
It strikes me that @lucygobag.bsky.social is the personification of decency, compassion, kindness and respect - such wisdom gained from a lifetime spent dealing with disaster.
And a great soundtrack choice too ❤️

Fascinating panel discussion about how we attract, retain and value the nursing workforce.
My beautiful mum was in a campaign to attract people into the profession in the 1960s and had a very rewarding, joyful career - perhaps nearly 60 years later we need another campaign?

Thanks for spending time with us at the hospice Rob, and for spreading the word about the importance of palliative and end of life care 💛
😢 It's unprofessional for a journalist to cry while reporting on a story, but it was hard not to be tearful working on this one...
It wasn't out of sadness, but from being moved by stories of how staff at a hospice in Bradford help deliver final wishes for their patients.
