Late Gen X. Adopted city Norwich, started out life in Dorset. Juggling twins, hearing aids, politics and climate concerns. Partial to dramatic landscapes, Wes Andersonesque architecture, unsung historical figures and Peanuts cartoons. Do we all get better at juggling or do we acknowledge some balls are just too precious to drop?

Last Notes npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Listening to #Harris live from Delaware. She’s strong. This is clearly the candidate that #Trump feared and she’s going to defeat him. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs 76 people have now taken my UK General Election Quiz…but the average score is down to 3/10. Boo! npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs It’s almost General Election Eve in the UK. With one more day of campaigning ahead of the parties, I thought I’d get us all in the mood for #ToryDeathParty with a little general election quiz… npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs “The prime minister is truly rattled, and scrambling to save his own seat here in Richmond and Northallerton. More rural voters than ever are putting their trust in Labour to deliver real change.” npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs When we look back at this globally critical election year in 10 or 20 years time, will we remember the individual absurdity of right-wing politicians or will we acknowledge the truth of what #Vonnegut said in one of his final pieces of writing? npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Desperate #Sunak tries to revitalise flailing campaign by opting for a swipe at his favourite punchbag - teenagers. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs It’s been another of those weeks where I don’t know how I’ve made it to Friday evening…bedtime is still in progress and I’m sure I’ve discussed every one of these constructs over the past few weeks with the kids: gender, society and money. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs So does #Sunak fundamentally get #ClimateBreakdown ? npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs A tablet will never replicate the experience of playing a physical piano or ukulele for me. I still read physical books over using a kindle. When I draw and paint it’s with a real pencil and paint brush. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs In my previous life I enjoyed working with young academic staff and students from across the EU and beyond (but the vast majority were from within the EU. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs ‘When politicians talk about how much it will cost to act on climate change, for example, they almost always refer to economic models commissioned by the fossil fuel industry, which leave out the cost of inaction, which rises with every passing year. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs The Tories wants to criminalise carers who have the temerity of working in Tescos on the weekend and infringe their weekly earnings cliff edge by somewhere between 50p and £3. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Greta #Thunberg has been detained by police in The Hague, #Netherlands for engaging in #climate protest. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs I think we generally regret our inaction more than our actions. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs No general election on 2nd May according to #Sunak…Hunt failed to bring a big enough rabbit out of his hat in the budget, the polls are still dire for #Tories and he’s had his judgement on racism and party donations questioned all week. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs The results of a poll on the Q of whether Hester’s comments about Diane Abbott and black women were racist or not spells out in a scarily clear way what is wrong with the UK. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs This is the point…’While $438m is no small sum, Trump is wealthy.’ So wealthy, this won’t bankrupt him like his mate Giuliani. Oh no… npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs This story doesn’t come out well for aging white, male economists and historians on two fronts - blatant sexism and sloppy use of data. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs It’s a grim thought on a personal level, but in the coming decade we’ll begin to see Boomer wealth transferred to late Gen X and Millennials. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub1fgl…4jl4 I agree. I see it as performative politics…the Tories ramp up the vindictiveness to appeal to far right voters, while completely failing to engage with the problem in the short, medium or long term. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs This is the kind of story I doubt you would read in the Daily Mail. A community genuinely shocked and saddened by the death of an asylum seeker. There are comments even from those who viewed the arrival of the Bibby Stockholm with suspicion and fear, but have come to realise the poor souls who are accommodated there are no threat to them and deserve better. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs ‘Continuing to say publicly 1.5°C is still alive is no longer defensible’, warn 1,000+ academics. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs When you read about employees working 80 hr weeks, taking off prescription ADHD medication, using IV drips to combat excessive heat exhaustion and falling asleep in the bathroom do you think: npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs I remember years ago thinking instead of yet another kids history book about the terrible Tudors, the origins of WW1 or ancient Egyptians, what kids really need is one that explains the conflicts in the Middle East, specifically one that focuses on Israel and Palestine. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Intuition. Do you believe in it? Do you have it? Do you act on it? npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Tory policy rewards those that can afford to be a landlord, but can’t be arsed to #retrofit homes. Nobody is forcing people to be landlords. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub1fgl…4jl4 really good point! The oh so subtle notion of ‘them and us’ snuck in there. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Suella Braverman: npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs ‘Up to 8 million people across the UK are either incorrectly registered to vote or missing completely, according to research published today by the Electoral Commission. This is more than the combined adult population of Scotland and Wales, and would be equivalent in number to more than 100 UK Parliament constituencies. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub1lml…yucw @npub189n…satx I have always considered #Sunak to be a climate delayer when he was Chancellor and now PM. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub189n…satx I think it’s not just the climate deniers that have led us here. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs According to Feargal Sharkey my water provider Anglian Water paid £4.6 billion to shareholders between 2012 and 2022. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub1g23…qxj3 I think in 2023 being prepared for natural disaster is sadly essential wherever you live. I doubt many Brits have any notion of preparation for a flood, wildfire or severe storm…but the reality is we need to be. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub1fgl…4jl4 these were spotted not far from the river bank…is there something in the water (presumably not the sewage) that is causing them to grow so much bigger? npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Just come back from an evening stroll on the edge of Norwich where we came across the biggest slugs any of us had ever seen before… npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs I was having a conversation with my father in law just last weekend where he brought up the fact the Nazis not only persecuted the Jews, but also those that were disabled, gay, trans, Roma, Travellers and Gypsies. For some reason just popped into my head… npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs To read this story, is to realise there are really no exceptions to the abortion laws that states like Mississippi have brought in since Roe vs. Wade was overturned. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Dear BBC, Channel 4 and Guardian, npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub189n…satx it was only my second ever flight (the previous year I’d flown from Bournemouth to Dublin, which is barely an hour). The worst part of it was we couldn’t contact our loved ones for many hours. The only news about what was happening came from a Canadian sports radio station. Eventually the Canadians allowed us off the plane and drove us to a high school. Following morning we were billeted with local families - I managed to contact mine again last year. Lovely people npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub189n…satx I spent 10 hrs stuck in a plane diverted to Halifax, Nova Scotia on 911. They had just dished up breakfast and then had to make an emergency landing so quickly whipped away our trays and chucked the food…there was nothing but pretzels and vodka/whiskey miniatures handed around for the rest of the time we were on the plane. Exceptional circumstances and very harrowing day - everyone was just kind and patient to one another. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs 1. 9 out of 10 drivers won’t be impacted by Ulez npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs I love my kids. It’s been the hardest eight years of my life, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I discovered who I was by becoming a twin parent…the difficult aspects I had to confront about myself but also how I could live in a very imperfect world. I’m still learning and my kids are still opening my senses to new experiences. I want to grasp these precious years with them and make them count. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs I went to a gig for the first time since having kids last night, it’s been over a decade! npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Am I the only person who has spent the week looking at the wind direction and then right now at midnight I realise it’s dead on blowing from the ‘East’ think ‘if they were going to to do it, it would be now’? npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs @npub1ywh…2tvx apologies I had no idea using bitly would create a phishing warning…I just used it as I was almost out of character space. The page I was trying to point to was this: npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs Saying I really liked The Change by Bridget Christie probably invites people to assume I’m menopausal, but what I actually liked is it makes the future less scary for women of any age approaching this phase of their life, while acknowledging those who have been through it. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs The #NHS is 75 years old today. npub1vwe0m0tek6nmgh5a0rzvfg7smyty8uvy9lgguusjcw0y983r8xxsgvrkr2 Juggling With Eggs The government “has dangerously blurred the lines between genuine disinformation and legitimate political dissent”.
