After years of suffering from travel sickness, I finally tried tablets yesterday. This working on the train thing is really quite pleasant when you're not slowly turning green!

The seminar we had with Peter this morning was eye-opening. There were so many lightbulb moments for us all. Looking forward to seeing how we take forward trauma-informed leadership in CHAS.

My cat Moriarty is keeping me company on my desk today as I sniff and sneeze my way through Friday. Sound on to hear how content he is to be beside me.

@GuidingScotland @supportCHAS @Bodenclothing I've not even seen one in the wild yet! Hoping to take X down to hunt for some at some point this summer.

@MadeByFi @supportCHAS @Bodenclothing My neighbour and her granddaughter were out searching for them this afternoon. I think it may provide a focus for the whole summer!

In honour of the @supportCHAS Hairy Highland Coo Trail, I was wearing my @Bodenclothing dress with hidden highland coos on it in Kinross today.

Cancer survivors involved in the event come along to our special survivor evening each year and get their photo taken for the presentation. I've watched one survivors hair slowly growing back over the last few years and it gives me so much joy.

This may look like work but it's part of my volunteering role. Tonight I'm pulling together our Heroes of Hope presentation for @CR_UK Relay For Life Peterhead. I've done it for years now and the best bit is getting to see how our survivors progress year on year.
