Great to be at #WhatsTheCost conference run by @voscur. Looking how #Bristol charities are responding to the cost of living crisis.

So good to be in my first AGM for #NetworkCounselling. It's been a really tough year! But I'm happy to be here with great trustees, staff and supporters. Committed to #AffordableCounselling for #Bristol.

Any fundraiser looking for a mentor? My recent mentee has just moved on so I have a space. I don’t charge and I come with references @TweetRoya @calumcoker @NoraRussell

"At least once a week I was convinced that everyone I’d known had been raptured up to Heaven" - yup! The joys of #GrowingUpEvangelical! theguardian.com/world/2023/j…
I grew up evangelical. Terrifying rapture films scarred me for ever

I grew up evangelical. Terrifying rapture films scarred me for ever

Tales of wars, plagues and starvation left my friends and me fearing we’d be ‘left behind’. They haunt me to this day

Just cannot get my head round the fact that a quarter of my fellow citizens are prepared to admit that they would still vote for a party that is totally lacking in moral or indeed any worthwhile values and has brought the country to its knees.

Absolutely blown away by 'Drive Your Plough Over the Bones of the Dead' @BristolOldVic last night. Funny, beautiful, challenging, tragic. Fantastic choreography and staging. Brilliant stuff @Complicite!

I'm not saying I've got a favourite nephew. I'm just saying one of them is asking me about @tonyhawk while listening to @ReelBigFish...

Just been to @Tesco for one bag of very ordinary groceries: onions, fish fingers, noodles, squash. No alcohol, no treats. All own /economy brands. £43 I'm scared. How are we going to live?

It's cute that we still continue to make cinema, since the art form arguably peaked in 1996 when they released the US version of 'Rumble In The Bronx' and slapped Ash's 'Kung Fu' over the end credits.
