Våre tanker går til familie og venner av de drepte, de som ble skadd og alle andre som fryktet for livet i Oslo i natt❤️ Vi står sammen og er klare for parade i dag, selv om markeringen vil bli preget av det som har skjedd. Nå må vi igjen vise at Oslo er kjærlighetens by!

Spooky. This afternoon I have a two hour roundtable about coproduction for a funding programme... How to rebalance with more 'design' to go with the 'co'...?

Finally connected with Cambridge University's Dr Johannes Lenhard for my CAPE Fellowship to discuss #homelessness, #health and the complex systems of services within them. Really looking forward to reading his new book - an #ethnography of #roughsleeping in #Paris. berghahnbooks.com/title/LenhardM…

Caught part one of #AIDSTheUnheardTapes last night, and it was excellent. Really captured the confusion, fear, misinformation, anger and despair / what-the-hell-bravado of those early years.

Dominic Raab won’t approve but I did indeed go the opera last week (it cost me £62). Tom Eisner, a working-class lad from Buxton near where I grew up kindly invited me. He’s been playing violin at Glyndebourne for 36 years. Never let anyone tell you you’re not good enough. 🎻

I went to #Glyndebourne #Opera in 1988 as an 18 year old #queer kid taking a #drama A Level, and with working parents who didn't own their own home. I saw the Electrification of the Soviet Union by Craig Raine. I'm 52 now and still remember it. The #arts are for everyone.

Off to #Bristol today for the @luhc #RoughSleeping Accommodation Team away day, and to meet the local @stmungos team. Looking forward to learning about the city's #homelessness challenges and exploring what could be done.

It is 40 years today that Terry Higgins, a 37 year-old House of Commons #Hansard reporter and sometime DJ died of #AIDS - one of the #UK's first cases. His friends and lover set up the Terrence Higgins Trust Terrence Higgins Trust in his memory. #whatisrememberedlives THE AIDS MEMORIAL
