Time to celebrate my 50th with a short break to the Black Country, not quite Cape Verde but after the last month it’s just good to be away feeling like I’m getting back to normal Different Strokes - Stroke Support UK @StrokeAssocNW

So glad to be back at work. Who knew emails could be so tiring. Fatigue is something I have to learn to deal with Stroke Association

Today we remember the 56 football fans who tragically lost their lives in the Bradford fire disaster 37 years ago. 54 Bradford City fans & 2 Lincoln City fans went to watch a football match! Gone but never forgotten #RIP56

Seeing as I couldn’t fly for my 50th, I’ve found a different way to travel.

People are being warned about e-scooter batteries after the death of mum-of-four Rebecca Downes in a Blackpool house fire. Investigators say a battery was the likely cause. A man's been arrested. bbc.in/3z0orUH Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service area manager John Rossen issued this advice:

🚨 Applications open! 🚨 We're recruiting wholetime firefighters now. Can you rise to the challenge? 👩‍🚒 Apply now! jobs.lancsfirerescue.org.uk/vacancy/137478

Here’s a tester. Royal Mail are telling our members that you as the public want your mail up to 3 hours later each day. They say that’s the ‘customer trends’ RT this if you don’t want your mail later and you don’t want your posties start time changed.

Please share. One of our Watch Managers has gone missing. Daniel, "Dan" 41, was last seen at 1.10am (Monday 22 August), walking past Saint Mary’s Parsonage, close to Crazy Pedro’s restaurant in Manchester City Centre. #MissingPerson

Another example of thermal runaway, different story if this had been laid inside next to other combustible materials.

Decided to treat myself to a new tattoo, mixing my career with my recovery.

We need better regulations, education and firefighting solutions to this issue.

Well today marks 30 years since I joined Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service.

Chilling with some local wildlife

My last day working for Lancashire Fire and Rescue. It’s been a very humbling day with so many people saying such nice things. I can only say thank you to you all, you have made 30 years fly by and so enjoyable.

Today marks my 2 year stroke anniversary, to celebrate we are off to Venice
