Kate isn't really here any more
Twitter, am I right in thinking you can listen to Radio 4 live on BBC Sounds even if you're outside the UK?

In 1975 two little boys met on the first day of Big School. One could do maths, the other English and so began a lifelong friendship. We've been through births, deaths and marriages but haven't skied together for 45 years. In the year of the big 60 seemed hightime to remedy that.

@dormousebelper I likely match his demographic, and I was spoilt for choice in your lovely shop. Best not take it to heart, just reflect on all the other satisfied customers.

I have chosen books I love, because we're small there has to be a certain amount of curation. But I do have broad taste (I think). I do like some books by old, white men; but also other genders and ethnicities. What should I have said? What was he looking for that I didn't have?

Just had my first really horrible experience as a bookseller. A man came in and looked around for quite a while. I asked if he needed any help and he said, 'you clearly don't stock anything for old, white men in here do you?' I was stunned. I tried my best to remain polite...

Mixed emotions today as I work my last shift at Southmead with @NorthBristolNHS after nearly 24 years. It’s been the most amazing time but onto new challenges in Neuro Rehab at Gloucester as Clinical Training Manager. Thanks for the memories 💙❤️🥲

Darn sight easier to drive to a ski centre than cycle it.

@pipdivall Well now, this weekend am going to 40th anniversary uni reunion. Which really ought to be impossible as I remember starting like it was yesterday.

Today I’ve been an NHS librarian for 20 years. TWENTY years. God, I am old. Still learning how to do it too. Not quite mastered it yet.

Not often seen sharing the same space, mother and mother-in-law. Combined age - 180! Seems a good time to be recognising the matriarchs.

Year ago today we reached John O'Groats so naturally the occasion had to be marked with a bike ride.
