For anyone thinking, wouldn’t it be lovely to pop into Fortnum & Mason to pick up a couple of Christmas bits . . . No. No it wouldn’t

I’ve forgotten my headphones. I don’t want to be dramatic but this this is going to be the worst day ever.

Whilst out running this evening I passed a cluster (?) of six cats. It was like some weird feline version of West Side Story. I’m sure one of them might have been snapping its paws.

Long, sedentary day at the office? Get yourself home for a late night speed hill run said no one ever 💪

@EmmaMarieCooney Right?! 🤣

On my morning road run, earlier today, a chap paused getting into his car to stop me and tell me I have strong legs . . . Thanks . . . ? I think . . . ?! In my dearly departed Grandmothers tone, that would not have been a compliment #running #stronglegs #grewthemmyself #exercise

@amberivatt @thebookseller @Francesca_PR The very best news - congrats!

So amazed and delighted to be amongst this sparkling constellation of stars and in @thebookseller class of 2024 ✨ Huge thank you to @Francesca_PR for encouraging me to go for this and supporting my app! So lovely to meet & see so many of you last night and celebrate together 🥂

Am I the only person who sees a neighbour lifting a very heavy suitcase into their car and immediately jumps to some weird Hitchcock murder mystery storyline in their head?!

The very best of new @frankcottrell_b X

Oh, f*ck you very much Adobe Illustrator #softwarecrashes

Please let it have saved . . . Please let it have saved . . . Please let it have saved . . . #softwarecrashes 🤞

@loveswimming Amazing!!

Well that was absolutely THE BEST thing. First half marathon in the bag. Raced my own race and loved it! And yes with 8.75 laps of Battersea Park I did put a sharpie to good use, no way was I losing count. Hey if I can do it, so can you!

I’m not wearing a coat . . . #justsaying #dullweatherupdates

No more rain it said today when I left for my run. That is very much the opposite of what’s just happened . . . #AprilShowers

A wet and windy Good Friday run listening to Beyoncé sing about cowboys. It’s what Jesus would have wanted. Happy long weekend 🏃‍♀️🐣

I’ve become a person who drapes a jumper over their shoulders, just in case it’s cold later . . . f*ck I know, I know, I’ve let myself down.

Definitely the kinda temperatures you want to spend over 30 minutes waiting for a delayed train in 🥶

Definitely chose the wrong part of the day to go for a run #niceweatherforducks

@FrancesHardinge Ha, mine wouldn’t have lasted the day. I’d be batch cooking another lot by now : )

And now we're down to 28. :-)

Nothing quite so embarrassing as being a fully grown adult person with extremely ticklish feet who needs a pedicure #adultfails
