Early retirement due to ill health. I am living with cancer and it’s been the making of me! Just do it - I embrace it all and I found in me ‘an invincible summer’ ( as Camus once wrote but in French obvs).

Felt really listened to today. Ideas were forthcoming and the team I was working with were really open and keen. Makes all the difference when a leader is truly wanting to use her team to improve learning for all.💕

Had the best weekend. Festival on Friday; throwing shapes to Fat Boy Slim, with uni friends, Saturday night; dinner with bestie and dancing round kitchen island at 2 am, Sunday; lunch with school friends from old; reminiscing and applauding ourselves for how we’re all still alive and living it. 🥳

Does annoy one that the women who have lost their lives on that super yacht off Sicily, are referred to as ‘the wives’ of the tycoon’s business partners by the BBC. I’d like to think they deserve more than a cursory nod to being a wife. They were actual real women with a life of their own grrrrr.RIP

Been sorting out my son’s room today - bitter sweet- he’s off to uni soon. I just love how he’s kept all his Christmas cracker toys from every cracker ever, on his shelf. 💕
