Great to catch up with friends from @NWStudio at the Central Library today @NottmLibraries to talk about nonfiction outlines, writing momentum + coffee! Also lovely to drop in to @FiveLeavesBooks to buy @meganjstaylor's latest chapbook, published by the fabulous @nightjarpress.💗

@MarijaSmits @NWStudio @NottmLibraries @FiveLeavesBooks @meganjstaylor @nightjarpress @LiamGMartin4 @Andrew_Kells It was nice to see you too. And I enjoyed the chat. It's good to feel part of a community of writers.

@NWStudio @NottmLibraries @FiveLeavesBooks @meganjstaylor @nightjarpress Was ever so lovely to see you all - @LiamGMartin4, @Andrew_Kells and @RunYoung50. A real boost! (Though next time I will have to get a photograph of everyone before we all disappear off on our separate ways.) Hope you all have a fab weekend. 😀

@DrAlexJack1 What a wonderful archive.

Because there is so much material, with a variety of conservation needs, it will take us some time to make it fully accessible to researchers. We are really honoured to be caring for it and we look forward to sharing more of it and Sue's story in the future.

Three scrapbooks, all in very delicate shape, provide a wealth of images and info about Southampton Ladies. This page covers a 9-1 win for Southampton against Coventry on 17 Dec 1967 at the Royal Hospital Ground, Netley, with Sue captaining Southampton.

@GebMo1 Cool!

@RunYoung50 On the other hand, 100% of the commentators who called track and field for the BBC radio in #Paris2024 were women (#AllisonCurbishley & #KatharineMerry). :)

Only 23% of the journalists covering the #Paris2024 Games were women. An increase over the Tokyo Games but still a minority.

@willgoose @Michael1979 Very kind of you to suggest it 😊

@RunYoung50 @Michael1979 Private Message to @Michael1979 can you produce a card for congratulating someone on a successful retweet? I feel @RunYoung50 deserves one and a card is the best way to say well done

Love this...

My book on the history, science & stories of women in ultrarunning is out Thursday with @Octopus_Books! Alongside my attempts to run 100 miles, there are interviews with many incredible #ultrarunning #women & experts in the psychology & physiology of ultra endurance #ThePathWeRun

@choppertune @ArtOfYrSuccess Yes it's a great event to be part of.

@RunYoung50 @ArtOfYrSuccess Not too bad thanks, tapering off now! It’s my second Marathon, i caught the bug for running last year and ran the Newport Marathon earlier this year. I booked the IOW the day after Newport 🤣. I’ve since realised it’s a landmark race this year so feeling privileged to be there

I'm using my @ArtOfYrSuccess to plan and review my training for the Isle of Wight Marathon. Just 3 weeks to go!

@choppertune @ArtOfYrSuccess Thank you. Yes my training is going well. How about yours?

@RunYoung50 @ArtOfYrSuccess Oh a fellow IOW marathon runner! Hope your training is going well. 🏃🏃
