@andreaclarke121 Have a wonderful retirement Andrea. Congratulations🎈

Just did a feedback survey for @Fairphone I mostly enjoy mine, but the one thing I'd change is I'd make it so I can hold it *and* type a text message or WhatsApp, with the same hand (when I'm pushing the pushchair for example). I must have short thumbs.

Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev writes "No war please" on the camera following his advancement to the final in Dubai.

Such a heavy heart for #Ukraine - solidarity with all who work for peace, all who face violence and oppression, and all who have impossible choices to make

@MinchChloe @GlosCC @GreenPartyFOD @TewkesburyGP @StroudGreens Awesome news! Congratulations!

Active travel like walking and cycling is a gendered issue. Don't believe me? I'll prove it to you.

MP doesn’t know whether she attended Downing St Party

Excellent to be at @SubRoomsStroud for the last night of @sweeneyfiddle tour, making beautifully blended and balanced sounds👂🎻🎶 So grateful, in a time of anxiety dreams, for the makers and musicians in our town. They're not just tunes, they give me hope 🙏

@timdavies @natematias @TomChatfield Sending our love. Gjermund Larsen Trio (esp the track drommeland) and Slagr (a track called Shimmer) for Nordic beauty. I regularly return to the Goldberg Variations by JSBach. Morten Lauridsen for the wonder-end of hopeful. Messiah by Handel; the first sung line is 'comfort ye'

@natematias @TomChatfield Karine Polwarts wider discography is worth a look. Sometimes melancholy & raw, but a deep hopefulness within. Just listening to new 'Still as your sleeping' album though which looks like it might fit the bill for calming. Our thoughts with you in tough times

I've just signed the open letter urging the UK Government to create more safe and open routes to the UK for refugees and asylum seekers. Will you sign too? speakout.38degrees.org.uk/campaigns/open…

@firsthelium @BBCRadio3 Didn't know it was that much, but knew it used helium (the big pipe with He written on it was a bit of a giveaway)

@stroudsing @BBCRadio3 Did you know the average MRI machine utilizes 1700 litres of helium? That’s more than half a million standard balloons!

On Friday I had an MRI scan (thanks to JR hospital, Oxford) with the luxury of headphones and a choice of radio station. So, naturally chose @BBCRadio3 who played some Strauss for the full space age experience youtu.be/QwxYiVXYyVs

Mary Robinson as #COP26 concludes:“COP26 has made some progress, but nowhere near enough to avoid climate disaster. While millions around the world are already in crisis, not enough leaders were in crisis mode. People will see this as a historically shameful dereliction of duty.”

Brilliant to hear from @DavenportJuliet @simonpic78 @carla_denyer and Dan Green at the @StroudGreens Day After COP26 event. It's so hard to feel hopeful, but knowing we're not alone, and we are surrounded by a community of activists gives me courage not to give up.

Yes it really is #COP26 transport day today! Will we hear anything about #TrafficReduction and increasing #publictransport & #walking & #cycling or will it all be blah blah blah about electric vehicles? #EVsNotEnough #ResetRIS2 #ClimateCrisis (Photo: Derrick Coffee)
