At the age of 48, I've booked my driving theory test!

Mental health dips can impact reading. When I suffered with burnout, I would pick up a book & put it down again. Any kind of relationship with reading is positive when you're poorly/exhausted/grieving. Staring at the cover, word by word, sentence by sentence. It all counts. 🙂

I use something called a Ta-Da list, it's like a to-do list except I note down everything I have completed that day. It really helps me if I feel like I'm not doing as well as someone else or struggling to feel like I've made progress. ✨

Yesterday, I met an older woman who's walking the South Downs Way. She decided only the day before and is camping wild. Seventeen miles rewarded with a cider. She's healthy, confident and full of beans – go Angie! Inspired.

I'm currently proofreading the memoir of Alan Dicks – it's a cracking read. Happy birthday, Alan. I hope you had a wonderful day! #BristolCity

Happy 89th Birthday Alan Dicks… 643 games managed from 1967-1980 and achieved top flight football in 1976… still a regular at Ashton Gate to this day! Have a great day Alan 🎂

This incredible Death's-head hawkmoth caterpillar is roaming confidently around our garden on the South Downs Way. Look at the size of it! @savebutterflies

The Hunter is my current fave. One for all you blues fans. @cerysmatthews – I think this would go down a storm on your @BBCRadio2 show! open.spotify.com/track/7CzDm…

My love's album is released today! Congratulations to The Dead Reds – it's a belter. Mastered by Jon Sevink, fiddler with Levellers. He's done a lush job. If dirty blues is your thing, give it a listen. x open.spotify.com/album/5vcMf…

I'm taking my writing more seriously now, so I decided to overhaul the spare room and make it a little more inspiring. It's a work in progress, as is my manuscript, but I love it. 😊

I am spending the day with a great friend. My dog has come along for his healing abilities and a snooze.

So lovely to hear this in a beautiful, scruffy bar in Eastbourne – hadn't heard it for years. Sums up 90s sunrise vibes on the Downs after a full-on night of raving. | GLUE (Official Video) youtu.be/A7ZxRs45tTg via @YouTube
