You know you're getting old when you're excited to get a parcel, only to find that it's a ... bowel testing kit.

After reading the latest set of City Lit board papers I need to say that I am SO lucky to be part of such an amazing place - the courses for stammerers, Latin and hieroglyph courses at the British Museum. The percussion orchestra. All bloody wonderful. Well done Mark Malcomson

We're shocked that someone has dumped ~1000 tyres at Brockadale nature reserve ☹️ As a charity, removing them costs us time & money we don't have, impacting our work for wildlife🐾 We know there are people across Yorkshire doing fab things everyday - can you help/share our story?

Has Amol got a smaller lectern? It looks different - better. #universitychallenge

Another treat from the Sheffield festival of words Off the Shelf Festival of Words, Dame Mary Beard on Roman Emperors at home. A shame the podium was too high!

On my way to London. The City Lit board and Deaf Awareness training. Should be a good day. And the sun is shining 😊

Inspiring hearing Chris Packham speak as part of the #OTSfest in Sheffield. Over 1200 of us came to see him and he was inspiring. Hereby committing to 5 meat free days a week.

We agree with every word of this.

Please can someone find Amol a higher chair? He can hardly see over the question stand.

Pleased to finish the 10 mile Breast Cancer Now #pinkribbonwalk at Chatsworth yesterday. Some rain and wasp stings but great camaraderie and energy.

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.

Please take just two seconds to show you care.

What a great article! Thanks FE Week feweek.co.uk/adult-educatio…

Today I couldn’t be prouder to be a governor of the wonderful City Lit I know that it’s an outstanding place to learn but how great to have this confirmed by Ofsted files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/502220…

Saying goodbye to Doug Nichols as the General Federation of Trade Unions general secretary and welcoming Gawain Little. Both excellent leaders, I’m looking forward to working with Gawain Little but will miss Doug.

Who is walking behind the king here? Asking for a friend.
