@financillary ok 7 months behind the times - but doesn't this pic warm us all up here in January 2023 ... what a stunning achievement, Tom.

Wild flowers have gone a bit bananas, need a machete to make it to the pizza oven..

Riveting (and brilliantly arranged) seminar from Sue Brookes, Sara Hanna, Robert Gilmour (Mills & Reeve / SKO) - on the England&Wales -v- Scottish differences for separating cohabitants, with and without children. Ending soon but there may be a recording to grovel for!

#FPConf22 - Helen Adam talks of the value of mediators giving guidance on principles and mediators can now provide the consent order in some situations ... Does the panel see the extension of this practice overlapping with Resolution Together? What will be the differences?

Jo helps us revisit the first-day-of-term butterflies ... so much wisdom here as ever.

@E_V_Ward @hjbrander @fr_journal Thank you so much for the wake-up call, one for a potentially massive [and massively expensive] change in practice. I am going to bed to worry about it.

Important Postscript: (And reference to @hjbrander article in @fr_journal)

@BarristerSecret Am I the last person in the land to be reading vol1 ('stories')? It is astoundingly brilliant. Yes, I had no idea! Compelling AND engaging, from someone with whom you would love to spend a day in the pub. Thank you. Cracking on and then NBTT.

@MAMBarLife I LOVE this picture - what fabulous artwork [from someone with a degree ... one that appears later on in the number chronology too ... So even my top shoots would be a little yellow]. Thank you.

Wasn’t always a lawyer. I learned a lot about and from the people I worked with in my former job who didn’t have a degree but were whip-smart.

@RhysTaylor32 And for those who missed it ... it was the stuff of awesomeness. No 36 should be proud of the niche they have carved in zoom-upgrades to the brains of their instructing solicitors.

@peternewman79 And now to make it fly (on this side within the solicitors' and mediators' professions), don't we need the version that CAN more easily permit exploration of hypotheses ... I am exploring a hidden columns and copying cells edition. Hmm...

Hello Twitter, here is thread about the new Form ES2 (composite asset schedule) - the concept, the design and how to use it. /1

@DMHodson @TheLawSociety Lucid and brilliant (as ever) ... thank you to you and the other great speakers. Quite why it takes so many goes for this to stick in my brain ? !

@FLiPltd @29BedfordRow @SimonGoreEvents So shocking. Simon was such a lovely and gentle man, giving great encouragement to all of us joining his great shows - a real force for good. He will be very sadly missed by all of us.

@29BedfordRow @SimonGoreEvents This is very sad news, our condolences to his family.

We are very sad to hear of the passing of @SimonGoreEvents. He will be fondly remembered by all of us who worked with him. Our thoughts are with his family.

@_moneymarketing @stevewebb1 Historic attempts to create fairness probably just alienate through complexity ... Fortunately there are some who know their way through the maze @stevewebb1

@stevewebb1 @FLiPltd @RhysTaylor32 I so appreciate your response and would love to discuss. My focus was on duplicated proceedings at high cost, helping no-one. If the judge knows all the facts from the rest of the case why can't they fix the child maintenance too? Not the whole solution but a bit of it.

What a star! Fiona Read @RussellCooke ... mid afternoon yesterday steps in for Canterbury-cancelled FDR hearing, takes the bundle after hours ... and good to go at 9.15am this morning! Thank you.

More help ... that surely some time soon will see arbitration step out of the shadows?

@M_Bataillard we are blessed beyond measure by these. Thank you.

I went to a deli yesterday and said I'd like to buy a bagel with cream cheese. The kid behind the counter said, "Sorry, we only take cash or credit cards." #dontgiveupyourdayjob

@M_Bataillard Really we need to get that campaign for a knighthood for Melanie going again - this stuff is awesome! Selfless support for the world - where is the recognition that this deserves, eh? I am hoping for the collected edition in all good bookshops in time for xmas.

Q. Why do ants get sick so often? A. Because they only have tiny anty bodies. #dontgiveupyourdayjob

@avoidgravity Blimey? really!! I am usually at 6 !s and a few ???by the end of the line!!! Your standards are things at which we can only gaze longingly, Mena ... [Yeah and loads ellipsi too - I have no shame].

@OnlyDads And if the first session was anything to go by, this could transform the way we practice. Amazing event. Possibly the 'if there is one thing you do this year..."

Receiving feedback from 1st What about Henry? training session. "Excellent" "inspirational" are frequently used words. "Attachment" next. What is means for children and separating parents. Not too late to join in. Session 1 on website for catch-up. onlydads.org/what-about-hen…
