So obviously, as soon as I post this my bad knee decides now would be a good time to remind me its old and hurts for no particular reason…currently ignoring it (though I am not gonna push it and try a run this weekend, will just do a little swim instead).

Okay wait I have one of critical importance. UK, you awake yet?

GPT
A color wheel graphic titled "The British Emotion Wheel" featuring multiple segments, each containing the phrase "FINE, THANKS" in capital letters. The wheel's colors range from different shades of blue, green, yellow, orange, to pink, with each color likely representing a different emotion. The phrase is repeated in every segment, humorously suggesting a limited emotional expression stereotypically associated with British politeness. Two British flags are positioned at the top corners of the image, and the creator's signature "@LiamMakesStuff" is present at the top.

Legal aid deserts a real problem in family law (as well as other areas of need). No surprises there… the report suggests the problems may be worse than the data reveals in family… www.lexisnexis.co.uk/insights/the...

Well. Today has been delightful: Second hand books, sale bargains, fancy cocktails, a seaside stroll and good company…(and of course a spot of crochet)

My brother’s fancy cocktail, actually. Mine tasted amazing but his was more photogenic with its little orange hearts in a string…

Tweed style crochet. Purty but slow going…. (Pink, green and blue)

Morning! Been for a bracing swim and ready to go!

Me by the lake in a changing towel, sunrise behind me, clouds in the sky

Still lake with sunrise and clouds reflecting in the water

I wonder if we are seeing the beginnings of this at the legal aid family bar. Anticipatory dread and a shift in age brackets certainly chimes with what appears to be subtly, silently, imperceptibly happening…makes me sad…

Funny how an outfit can trigger memories - where I wore it, what was going on in my life when I did etc…

Familoo (Lucy Reed) @familoo.pinktape.co.uk · 26/07/2026

… the rest of which are (pleasingly) too big & going on vinted or to the charity shop. Maybe shallow, but it has been rather fun. Haven’t taken joy in looking nice for such a long time. And will make much needed space for other stuff. I think its all been there since our building project in 2018! 😬

I’ve had a delightful trip down memory lane this evening, after finally plucking up the courage to see what I’d stashed away in the airing cupboard. Turns out it was a bunch of clothes which had become a little too snug for comfort, the best of which now fit me again (old faves I’d forgotten I had)…

I suspect it is in the tens rather than hundreds but don’t really know. I have come across a few myself.

Familoo (Lucy Reed) @familoo.pinktape.co.uk · 11/07/2026

How likely do YOU reckon it is that there are any reliable stats? About zero, I’d say. But I recall reading an earlier TBIJ piece saying they were aware of 13 cases involving these issues re one particular unreg’d “expert”. Which is a small proportion of cases but of huge importance to each family.
