1. So during my time I have managed maintenance packages on RN warships, trials packages, done deployments and arranged my Department, WE, to be ready to go at short notice on Ops. So in no particular order, why deployment preps take a while.

Always nice to see a production photo taken a few months ago turn into a publicity poster! – at Henley-on-Thames, England
We can't quite believe, we've just 5 weeks to go until @jswale 's Nell Gwynn opens @OxfordPlayhouse & we're really excited to share the joy this production has to offer with #Oxford Get Your Tickets! bit.ly/3DZzj8y #theatre @WhatsOnInOxford @DailyInfoOxford @oxinaboxnew

Andy Murray is sensational. But the scheduling at the Aussie Open is a joke. What other sport goes onto 4am?

It’s Holocaust Memorial Day. This year, I’m thinking of a woman called Sulamita Szapiro. Here she is as a student. We weren’t related and I don’t even know much about her, but I’m pretty sure that remembering her still falls to me. This is a thread about why.
