Thrilled to finally be allowed to wear my #parkrun limited edition Brooks shoes as I met a training target (self imposed) today.
They saw me round my second 4.5 mile run of the day. I do love a split run. #RunningIsFunning

I really enjoyed this series telling the story of three impressive FLOTUS. Their similarities, differences, their challenges and their impacts. Portrayed by some fantastic actresses too.

Cold and sunny #parkrun this morning at Longrun Meadow in Taunton.
Still surprised how often I fail to learn lessons in my running.
Memo to me: do *not* go off too fast…you *will* end up staggering through the final mile 🤦♀️ #RunningIsFunning

It was my first run over 5K in six months and hopefully the first step in the long training plan for my next event … 🤔

I’m not a Spider-Man fan but this won a family film night vote. Really enjoyed it. The styling yes, but also the scripting and the subtle adultness of it (I think).

A fabulous insight to (some of) the emotions we all experience and making sense of them.

A fab #parkrun, if chilly, this morning at #Kingdom. Hillier than I remembered but wonderful to see all the other runners. Took some stick for my Tottenham Hotspur hat 😉

The second book in ‘The Lady Astronaut’ series, inspired by the same real life situations that led to the film ‘Hidden Figures’.
Loved the first one. This borrowed from Taunton Library.

A timely science fiction read about handing ourselves over to tech oligarchs and what we risk when we do. The appeal of “easy” and the blurred lines of human connection.
It was long tho and imho a good editor would have removed around 200 pages.

And more surprisingly it is used (and has been used) by many others (always patriotic) including the national anthem of Liechtenstein; the royal anthem of Norway; and the American patriotic song "My Country, 'Tis of Thee”. 😲

GM Gilbert (Captain) was the prison psychologist at the Nuremberg trials & had a firsthand opportunity to watch and question the Nazi war criminals. He authored ‘The Nuremberg Diary’ sharing those discussions & his observations.
A lack of empathy.
