On Tuesday’s first-ever International Day of Play & always, we must ensure every child can fully exercise their right to play. un.org/en/observances/intern…
Is this the closest I've every been to a proud mum moment? Is the idea of proud mum moments applied to non-children offensive to mothers? Classic me, turned excitement into an existential crisis.
Aaaanyway. Turn the tap off when you brush your teeth, folks! *mic drop*

Sobering stats this morning via #EducationMatters - hopefully we can be part of the solution to improve these numbers.
What’s even more concerning is that 46% of young people feel #lockdown will have a lasting impact on their education. There are so many opportunities for organisations to support the catch up! #EducationMatters
Apparently I've been out of book Twitter long enough that now people capitalising book titles in their tweets feels like I'm being shouted, just a little

Podcast interview for tonight fell over... Anyone outside Australia got a fascinating food story to share & can record in the next few hours? Check out @DirtyLinenPod for the vibe. Retweets welcome.
I'm staying in a small town in the mountains and at least once or twice a day all the dogs do this howling thing and I really want to know if they're just saying 'Hey how's your day going' or if this is some kind of warning of apocalyptic proportions and we're missing it

More and more often, I am getting inexplicable amounts charged by @TfL on the card I use to pay as I go. Like yesterday, apparently 2 journeys within tube zones 1 and 2 has cost me NEARLY £12. Who can afford this?! Is going back to Oyster the way to stop these rogue charges?

Last week, for one day, I got charged both £8.40 AND £14.20 for 3 zone 1 and 2 journeys. I contested one and was recharged a couple of days later @TfL
