I think we need to ask Suffolk CC the following questions: How do you think you can run your library service when you couldn’t afford it 12 years ago? Have you compared the cost of running the leadership of Suffolk Libraries UK with other top rate library services?1\2

Polymeropoulos: This was a disgraceful performance by the president, a disgraceful performance by the vice president. They have humiliated the United States on the world stage. It reinforces all the suspicions of our European partners that America can no longer be trusted…

A new venture for me tomorrow, going into a dementia care home to deliver an interactive music experience - just me, my fiddle, some electronics and some fresh fruit.....

Big big surprise, 14th year in a row TCS London Marathon rejection. 9 marathons run, £12k raised for charities, never got into the #LondonMarathon, maybe I'll get the Roberttown Road Runners club place this year (6th time lucky???) #loverunning #ukrunchat #LondonMarathon2026

This is the great example of a national programme delivered through the network of public libraries that contributes on a local level but highlights the national impact that public libraries can have if they work together.

After the sheer joy of playing music at #Butefest2025 ButeFest at the weekend, back into training this morning, 15 miles #running at an average pace just under 9 mins per mile, I even assisted unsticking a stuck barge on the canal at the 12 mile point! #loverunning #ukrunchat

Brutally tough but necessary 14 mile training run this morning, thanks to Sherpa Mark and Wasim Hussain for keeping me going when it got really tough. Spectacular views across the #Yorkshire countryside though, almost made it worth it #stillloverunning #ukrunchat #running
