@tai_the_ot I was literally just thinking of you yesterday powering around Slovenia with me on the pushbikes. You are superwoman!

In 2023 I learned that making tough activities more social (e.g. writing, exercise) is my 🔥 motivator and here is a photo of me smug post 8am workout new year's day to prove it 💪🏃‍♀️. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2024 and thanks for all your friendship and support 🙌❤️

@Niamh_Mell Do the names “Whitney” and “Mariah” take on a whole new meaning now?

@Astrid_OT ASTRID! Are you kidding me?! How multi talented can one person be? And why didn’t you serenade us on the regular? Do a few lectures via song?

I was super lucky growing up that my parents recognised the value of extra curricular activities and encouraged us to try anything that piqued our interest. My childhood hobbies bring me as much joy today as they did 30 years ago :)
