1950s cartoon in Punch book. Didn’t get message then, but setting up psychotherapy practice in 2001, recalled it. Sister found book, I had cartoon enlarged, framed & put in reception. Life is similar now, but business man would have computer on desk, train & home.#worklifebalance

After four plus years, the writing mojo has returned. Not quite sure where it went. Blog updated. alisonrussell275.blogspot.com

One sobering comment from an LA observer struck home. It could be said of many grim situations around the world. "They are in shock. Their future has gone. Their past has been destroyed." The past can never be changed and there will be a future, just a different one.😢

Male violence against women is an endemic problem in NI and we need action, not promises from Stormont. I've signed this petition to stand up against men's violence towards women - will you sign too? my.actnowni.org/petitions/stan… via @actnowni

A megalomaniac who is probably addicted to drugs & is sleeping very little turns his 211 million followers into a hate campaign against one of the most outstanding MPs when it comes to protecting women in Parliament. Yet many MPs & parts of media happy to support the Musk hate campaign. What a shameful moment in British public life. We have learned nothing from death of Jo Cox or David Amess @jessphillips @Keir_Starmer

Have opened a large tub full of research and background material I used for my books. Inspired to write again. Blog is waiting…#chasingrainbows #wisewords #emotionalhealth

The vitriolic abuse directed at @jessphillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable. It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour. 🧵1/4

This is now the most liked tweet I've ever done. All those years wasted years wanging on about politics...

@IainDale @Tessadunlop 😂

Announcment: @Tessadunlop and I are expecting.

Americans... if you need cheering up, here's a Puffin going for a little walk. 😁🐦😍

@Heccles94 Exactly. Can’t control events, can control self.

Don't let Trump take your joy today. Turn the TV off. Look after yourselves and let's rebuild and do better. But for today, just be kind to yourselves X

@RobertLindsay @theRTF1839 Fortunately saw her several times, little more unforgettable than ‘Private Lives’ when blind man in front of me had to keep asking his companion what the audience were laughing at. #nowordsneeded

My friend my fellow director with @theRTF1839 and my true inspiration the truly great Dame Maggie⭐️

@prodnose You were very kind to son who turned up to ‘help’ on Saturday mornings. He was at a ladder, but not even on a bottom rung. He is much nearer the top these days.

Me and my great friend Chris Evans. A working relationship with genuinely never a cross word.

@Christo03770888 Husband’s favourite

It was My mums favourite… but did anyone else actually eat this stuff ? 🤔

@DeborahMeaden Wasn’t even allowed to take Maths in 1965, not even at CSE. In 1994, as a Checkout Manager, Waitrose awarded me a bonus for creating a meal break matrix they used for near 20years, as “modern technology couldn’t beat it”. Proud.

I mean, who keeps their o level results!! Turns out my parents do. Note the result in maths…didn’t stop me understanding the numbers in business or get in the way of a successful career in Business… just thought it worth saying when many are reflecting on their results.

My thoughts last night too. #DomesticAbuse
