@FothersRick Glad to hear that!

@FothersRick What fabulous news Rick! Now chance to enjoy that retirement to the full 💜

@Quick_Res_DM Thanks Charlotte. I have followed & will try sending a DM now.

@RoyalMail can you help? We have received no mail for at least two weeks (neighbour confirms same). Website is no help, helpline just rings out for more than an hour. How can we find out what is happening & get it sorted?

@swrb1 @socialworksusie So sorry for your loss Richard. She sounds like a wonderful person 💜

@Matt_Pinner Zero for me - I’d be interested to know which eight you’ve never done!

I got 8 points,you?

@DeborahMeaden 🤣 it’ll be on your Wiki page later!

If one person repeats this it will be fact 😂😂😂

@UCLanComensus @UCLanHealth @PABSUCLan @Uni_Lancashire It was a great event - lovely to see everyone & meet some new people who offer their time & experience to our students. Thanks so much!

We had a @Uclancomensus summer celebration today! It was fantastic to see everyone and thank them for their involvement across the past academic year! @UCLanHealth @PABSUCLan @Uni_Lancashire

@MonkEmma Thank you for this. I saw the far right post about this the other day & looked at the comments hoping to see some clap back but everyone was buying into the vitriol. It’s so good to see a well-articulated & balanced response to the absolute garbage being pushed out.

Well this is grim…. Rotherham Borough Council has a new Mayor. And the Right are absolutely up in arms about the fact that she’s a Muslim woman. And they are of course spreading vile lies about her. So let’s just do a little sense check shall we? 🧵1/13

@FothersRick Indeed! I hope you are doing OK 💜

@NiallHarbison Look after yourself Niall - you need to be able to say no sometimes to give yourself the best chance of continuing to do the fantastic work you do so well. Take time to recharge your own batteries & don’t feel that you owe all of us anything. You are an amazing person 💜

I’ve been feeling very flat recently. Not tired or anxiety or depression that normally gets me down but just flat. Feeling meh. A sense of nothing if that makes sense. Despite everything going on at full throttle to help dogs I’m sort of on autopilot and feeling empty. I think it’s 2 things… 💜 Alba obviously. Like so many I really fell In love with her. I just miss really. Strange as I only knew her 2 weeks and I have dozens of other dogs to worry about and fix but sometimes dogs / people just hit different I guess. I’m doing lots in her honor and pushing myself hard to do stuff in her name but I’d love a little sunrise with her. 👀 The second one is harder to explain. I just feel everybody is looking for me. No matter what I do or where I go people want my time. Happy doggo. Tina’s hospital. Media. Publishing a book. People in cafes. Messages online. Emails. Dogs to be saved. Money needed. Favors. I can’t and won’t complain about that because I know I’m super privileged and I don’t want to sound like a a spoilt moaning brat. I know all this stuff is needed to help more dogs at scale and I’m more committed than ever. Sometimes I’d just love to be back helping 20 dogs on my moped when not one person knew me. I’ve posted a lot less here the last 2 weeks also. I’ve lots of great wins and happy things to post but when it comes to it I just can’t be bothered. What’s there to be so happy about I think when I go to post it. Even this post I deleted a couple of times. I don’t want to ever be miserable on here. I just wanted to be honest. Lots of great things happening and big progress but I guess I just feel a bit sad still about Alba. Big day with the dogs tomorrow will fix it. They are the best tonic. Have a lovely weekend Niall 💜

@RobMitch92 OMG!

Happy @JaneyGodley Day to all those who celebrate. Oh and remember… #Trumpisacunt

@NiallHarbison So very sad to hear this news. Like so many, I have been looking for daily updates & hoping so hard that Alba’s clear love for life would carry her through these difficult days. Sadly, her little body was too broken for any amount of love to fix, but thanks so much for trying 💜

I’m very sorry to say that after seeing her 14th sunrise Alba left this world today. I think we managed to give her the send off she deserved. She was a very special little girl 💜 (1/8) 🧵

@DorisDayRobbins - saw this & thought of you! atgtickets.com/shows/calamity…

@FothersRick Wishing you well Rick & a positive journey in 2025 💜

@helfrank Fab - love Horse. Just a bit too far for us but I’ll have to look to see if there’s a closer gig!

This has made my day!!

@GeeTheExplorer @MissCatnach I absolutely came here to say this! I batch cook on the weekends usually & try to build up a selection of different meals in the freezer so we’re not eating the same thing every day.

@MissCatnach Batch cooking! I cook 50+ meals during holidays, box them up and freeze, then only need to cook rice/pasta and then do enough for 2 days... only cook 3 times a week!

Right, I have a genuine question... How do you go to work for a full day teaching and then come home and still find the energy/motivation to cook dinner?! Because all I want is takeaway... It's an issue...

@FothersRick Wishing you lots of luck & support Rick, take care 💜💜
