Back to working full time and in the office 2-3 times a week from today. Only made the train because Southeastern was a few minutes late. Would have been on time if I didn't need a ticket! Wish me luck 🍀

Today @tradegovuk said goodbye to Simon Worthington - he joined us the week before Covid lockdown to deliver the first UK tariff for 50 years, stayed to implement WCO changes then job shared while I had treatment and covered for me when I was sick. We will miss you Simon. Thanks so much.

I went to an awayday with work today. It is my second week of full time work. First with twice as much responsibility as my jobshare Simon Worthington left last Friday. I survived the week and the day. #hero #ostomate #cancerwarrior

Presentation from Tom raising interesting points on Longditudinal data - how do we make sure that this data collection continues in tightening budgets? #databites IfG events

Why is it so hard to keep running info up to date Southeastern - just walked a few miles to Strood to get a train via Maidstone to make a hospital appointment. Your info says they are running but none have run and the next one is cancelled too. Now to walk home!

Good news today! Probably my last Twitter anniversary but for anyone I know still here, I also got an MBE! For Public Service - quite a momentous occasion, so I also wrote a blog. link.medium.com/FbHxmxkXbwb #Honours #PublicService #MyTwitterAnniversary

Pleased to see this being 'normalised'. The bowel prep is certainly the worst. But talking about stuff is important. I was less lucky but so far have lived to tell the tale. In my experience, if you are less lucky you will not be informed by post!

I had an issue Tesco. After paying for shopping the trolley stopped moving at the door. As it was unexpected, it stopped, I didn't, and so I bashed my stoma on the handle. It hurt. An assistant came, told me it was fine. It wasn't. I can't find how to complain. Any help welcome.
