Summer reading - something made me reflect on the notion that AI is making us think more about what it is to be us. Our ego defines us. The very real fear that AI replaces us. But the silver lining is that it may also be asking us to question the very nature of why we’re important. 🤔

The continued progress of Sarina Wiegman’s side, who won the tournament in 2022 and reached the World Cup final a year later, has led to another increase in engagement on a range of measures.

Today we went to the local wildlife reserve and hunted fairies. My daughter caught them, my husband put them in a jar with cotton wool. Yes it wasn’t real but in my daughter’s imagination, they were there and it was one of the nicest afternoons we’ve had in a while 🤗 #familytime #gratitude

Had the most wonderful day in Glastonbury today for the solstice, there were two reasons, the end of my MSc is bitter sweet, the end of the academic year on the horizon has been a time for renewal, the closure of chapters which have redefined me and my sense of self. Happy Solstice, 2025! 🙏🌅
