I’ve seen it all now…..out shopping with my daughter in Primarnie and discovered the Greggs range 😮apparently, this is a thing. Thought you might be interested Krystal Vittles as I know you’re partial to a Greggs (as am I) 😂😂

Feeling very fragrant, spent a happy half hour shopping at Molton Brown to stock up on new fragrance, tried so many that I’m now in a miasma of lovely, woody, spicy scent 🙂 Molton Brown UK

Out with my Belfast Boy on Saturday celebrating someone’s 40th wedding anniversary, a bit sad to realise we probably wouldn’t ever do that but so happy and grateful to get another shot at love in my 50s, love this man to bits ❤️

Done it! Finally! That took 18 months of hard slog, 8 months hovering just off target. BMI has gone from 32 to 26 (still overweight, I know) and exactly two stone lighter. Get in!

It’s been a funny old week. Work is exhausting & constantly on my mind, I haven’t slept well for days & I’m troubled & sad at the death of my Queen. I won’t be in the country for the funeral so partner and I are off to Sandringham to pay our respects and seek some peace

The trip to Sandringham was worth it, I feel better and it was heartwarming to see so many people from every generation paying their respects in such a warm and quiet way. The photos don’t do it justice, the scale of the flowers was immense ❤️

Currently enjoying the delights of Portugal and our villa has a beautiful little garden full of lovely and unusual succulents which are inspiring changes to more drought-resistant plants in my English garden. More research required as to how they will survive an English winter

Two big projects, new shelving and a new website, close to completion. I’m pleased but I won’t lie, I don’t want another year like 2022 for externally imposed changes (although the shelving was our idea) next year I just want to focus on my service and my lovely library users

Can you help me stop this #AttackOnNature @jochurchill4? Nature groups are worried, and so am I! There are Gov plans to rip up nature rules and renege on manifesto commitments! Please ask defra & Liz Truss to listen to The Wildlife Trusts and others, you must #DefendNature

Eeeek! Excited and slightly nervous too, can’t wait to make big changes to a space I have known for the last 14 years, new, lower shelving will really open up this space and make full advantage of our huge windows

Ho hum, can’t get connected on my work laptop to emails and internet, time to update the old library action plan and other 365 tasks, methinks. Perhaps the universe is telling me to have a damn good rest today…..

This one of the best threads I’ve read in a long time. Anyone working in healthcare in whatever role should read it and, aside from the topic discussed, one line struck me so forcibly - we work in a system that does not allow us to be our best. Made me stop and think

Is anyone else feeling uncomfortable about the new owner of Twitter? I’m going to sit with this for a bit but it seems likely I will be saying goodbye to Twitter. My timeline is generally positive, but I know there is some vile stuff on here that I want no part of.

This isn’t the place for me anymore, bye bye Twitter, you can find me on Linked In if you’ve a mind to. Look after yourselves xx
