I have #cysticfibrosis and I’ve always said that no one (really) has a clue what goes on behind closed doors to enable me to function. The same is true for my husband’s #LongCovid. So much preparation, adjustment & sleep is needed to ‘survive’ each day - & flare-ups a daily fear

Still feeling emotional from @NickyAACampbell phone in on #LongCovid this morning. I rang in & explained my husband’s @gavinwillacy situation. A powerful & moving segment that resonated so much. He’s now listened but is now on sleep no2 of the 3 he’ll need to get through today

@InternetH0F #Memories - I remember walking down Farringdon Road as a pantomime cow late in a Saturday night in late 1997. And getting jumped on by every passer-by! I was the sweaty ‘front end’ of the cow………and the ‘back end’ was the lady that has become my wife of 25 years

We know who the fun one is

@IsabelOakeshott How has the quality of journalism / news descended so low in the UK. Journalism no longer reports / informs - it now just acts as a dog whistle to so many different agendas. No wonder #ElonMusk and #Twitter are becoming a genuine alternative to the main stream media narrative.

Never mind slavery reparations -it’s time to demand compensation for the Chinese virus. £400bn to UK for direct Covid measures and at least the same again for indirect costs. How about it, Beijing?

Quick trip up the M6 - missed my usual #PNE supporting cuz @gavinwillacy to point out all the sights of Deepdale …. so went solo and recorded them for posterity and to upload to TripAdvisor in the morning as ‘Things to do in Preston’

@pinkun Just back from #Deepdale - we deserved the point but no service to Sargent is a problem as will be a future #NCFC side without the industrious & classy McClean. Need Gunn back and Sainz to continue his rich vein of form. Oh and thank god for #PNEs (Jacobsen) two 2nd half misses

Spirited comeback from City! 👏 FT | ⚪️ #PNEFC 2-2 #NCFC 🔰

Wow…reliving the past. Mark Hollis - I know you’re gone, but you pretty much helped me survive boarding school with this masterpiece #ColourOfSpring #talktalk youtu.be/wuSZjGn2AKE?si…

Fantastic couple of days meeting #Userguest clients and partners down at the #IndependentHotelShow at #LondonOlympia last week New industry sector, new connections and new learning 🙌💪 #hospitality #marketingtech #DirectBookings #Hotels #RevenueManagement

⁩Scary things going on down at ⁦@TattonPerk⁩ but the coffees are still spooktacular 😝🎃👻

Can’t wait. I was 12 years old when I went to my first ever game at Carrow Road with my brother. Now I get the chance to go back with my brother again, and his 12 year old grandson. Good to see the next generation of the family being raised the right way #NCFC #Canaries

This didn’t age well so…….I’m saying nothing about JHT until we’re promoted 🙏😜

Can’t beat ⁦@tatton_park⁩ at sunset - beware the rutting deer 😳

Good to catch up today @SForcellino - so happy you came to Manchester……..and were lucky enough to see it at it’s rainiest best ☔️ 🌧️ 😜 Look forward to seeing you in Rome before the end of 2024 🙏

Fantastic night of boxing up at the Bolton Wanderers Stadium tonight. Great to see @ashmarron_ extend his unbeaten record 🥊 👏

This morning at 11.30am - stormy seas and sea-mist stubbornly hanging around #FileyBay #EnglishSummers 😜😜

Over 10 years of coming here two or three times a year, and it never feels anything other than great to be back in our happy place #Filey #YorkshireCoast 🌊 ☀️ 🏖️

Early vote of confidence as @Userguest heads towards #SeriesA for continued growth into North America hotelscotland-online.co.uk/userguest-secu…

@PolitlcsUK About time this gravy train was halted & NHS staff realised they need to be NHS pay-rolled to work. Albeit no doubt we’ll now hear @RECPress talking about what a ‘high quality’ service their agencies provide to the NHS 🙄😜

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer says there will be "no more money" into the NHS without reform "I'm not prepared to see even more of your money spent on agency staff who cost £5,000 a shift."

Great few days with the Exec Team talking #strategy and #growth for #userguest - interlaced with a good bit of downtime enjoying Lisbon

£15 - blimey. That ‘levelling up’ agenda needs some work😜😳 twitter.com/citylifemanc/s…

If only the smile was as wide after nine holes. Cheers for the invite ⁦@asully68⁩ ⛳️😳😜 #KnutsfordGolfClub
