Business owner, Mum of 3, 1 cat, 1 dog, 1 husband - and very excited to be a recent member of the grandparent club. Very happy on Threads (we GTTO after all) but have FOMO so here we are and seems here we maybe get a bit more real time news and analysis.
Missed snapping the Autumn crocus before the rain pummelled them to bits. I always look forward to them and they always raise my spirits. So here they are, a little worse for wear but hanging on.

Having enjoyed King and Conqueror, despite the criticisms, thought I’d brush up on the actual facts insofar as anyone can know them. First year history 1976! Remember this @prum.bsky.social ?

The Boss takes aim at the corrupt, sadistic and treasonous Trump administration on the opening night of his UK tour in Manchester last night. No holds barred.

I spend a lot of time working with leadership teams helping them live and role model their organisation values - we talk about the need for values to be more than just “words on a wall”. Sadly it seems they are no longer even that.

No, it’s a block. I don’t care if your bio suggests you’re OK - you are clearly not. I don’t care that you’re in a Starter Pack of like-minded folk. What makes you think what you’ve said is anything other than cheesy, sleazy and unwelcome?

Well what a fab night. Supper at Brasserie Zedel and then a front row seat at Crazy Coqs to see Barb Jungr sing Cohen and Dylan as part of the London Jazz Festival. It’s been way too long since we saw a live gig on such a small and intimate scale and it was great
