Classic me, getting ill after being on holiday. It's not much fun in this heatwave either.

Watched Devil Wears Prada 2 with mam yesterday at the Forum. It wasn't as bad as people were saying, it's as expected full of fashion, locations, drama and celebrity cameos including a very special star who I didn't know was in it

Wishing the best of luck to those running @londonmarathon.bsky.social today. If you're not taking part, we've worked out the maths for how you could still join in while traveling with us. Who's got a step counter? 🏃

Illustration of four runners in motion with a train in the background. Text reads, "The London Marathon is the equivalent of walking the length of one of our Azuma trains 164 times." Additional text notes a marathon is 55,000 steps and takes about 336 steps to walk the length of an Azuma train.

I don't know if it is because I am older now or what. But I hate the way young people talk to each other, the lanuage is sickening. They have no respect for each other or for those around them.

Eleanor is ready for the Six Nations! 🏉 Will be you travelling with us to watch the rugby this weekend?

Eleanor is standing on a well-lit rugby field, holding a rugby ball. The background features goalposts and stadium lights.

Unsure if it is due to the weather/dark skies or becuase I am full of cold but I am not feeling my best at the moment. But I just heard one of my favourite songs on the radio that perked me up. Thought I would share it with you. youtu.be/VRylCUe5PZs?...

Oh little toe, you troublesome thing, Why did you have to snap and sting? I’m stuck inside, feet up high, While sunny days just drift on by. I dream of running, kicking, play— Not sitting here all bloomin’ day. So heal up quick, and lose this pain, Let me get back outside again!
