So many complaints to @Tesco @marksandspencer @waitrose and the like about online shopping slots and lack of fulfilment. Here’s a radical thought: make a shopping list and over a few weeks in the run up to Xmas go to the store and buy stuff from the list. Works a treat…

@TimesONeill @thetimes My husband worked at PP In the 80s and remember clearly the day he called me to say the SFO had raided the offices. Strange times

@ThePosieParker Midwife comes from Middle English meaning “with woman” so men who support (are with) women during labour and birth are midwives. I’ve met a few male midwives over the years: all excellent in that role.

Whilst I'm on a roll. I've had four children. This means I've met many midwives. The midwife for the second birth was a man. He was nice, but he was a man. His manner and phrasing came from a place of a one that hadn't lived a single day as a woman, funny that. This meant the whole thing was far less comfortable than it could have been. I guess there's a reason the role is "midwife" not midhusband. Men don't belong in that profession either.

@thetimes your article today says the M1 was the UK’s first motorway. Thought the first was the M6 in 1958 around Preston?

@elizabethelbou Welcome to Cambridge. We have corresponded about my husbands LMS ancestors in SA (Michael Wimmer & William Corner). Would love to chat over tea and scones😀

I'm really happy to have arrived in Cambridge with Daniel for a sabbatical leave as a Smuts visiting fellow from October through early April: what a joy to spend six months writing and learning! Look me up for tea & scones

Great afternoon with @TheCIPA and fellow presenters at the Manchester Regional Meeting including @BDforIP @BenniPfundner @LeeMarkDavies - great sharing of expertise

@disneyjuls1982 @NetworkRailMAN It was quite glorious wasn’t it😀

@AvantiWestCoast @NetworkRailEUS Not sure how I managed this tonight: my train to Chester cancelled but managed to get a train out of Euston stopping at Crewe and then a quick connection to Chester. In the end less than an hour late.. The stars were aligned, although not sure why I should feel so grateful 😕

Great to be at the @TheCIPA #paralegal #conference

@TheCIPA @ipfederation @biztradegovuk Great conference: really enjoying it😀

A very special panel has now taken the stage at #CIPACongress to discuss how CIPA, @ipfederation and the international negotiating team from @biztradegovuk worked together to achieve such a great result on IP in the UK's accession to the CPTPP.

@TheCIPAMembers @LeeMarkDavies @memcomUK Congratulations: will deserved 😀
