@daydreamer_mum Mine just started year 11 too. I would be livid if that happened to her. It's bad enough my nephew has been put off childcare because the class was all girls.

I want to thank @Childrens_Trust today for the many years they looked after my friend's daughter. She was brain damaged from birth and wasn't supposed to live past her first year. She died yesterday at the age of 22. She lived a happy, smiley life and who could wish for more?

I've done it, I've finally hit my weight target. Its taken me over 3 years but I'm finally at the target I set of being right in the middle of the NHS healthy weight range for my height. 😊 Must be all that heavy blood I was carrying!🤣

Exceedingly proud of Mr Vix this week who has really turned a corner. He ran his first sub 28 minute 5k post heart attacks on Thursday (I struggle in just behind him!) and this morning ran his first 10k with me.

My brother in law during his pandemic boredom decided to make Mr Vix a chess set. Starting with ingots and casting and refining the figures himself. These are the French and British armies of the battle of Waterloo.

A year ago today my friend @sospainter ran his 50th parkrun (see photo). I may have dragged him to his first! Yesterday, he ran his 100th, and today his 101st. Of all the people I've introduced to parkrun Paul is my fave. His enthusiasm is infectious. #soproud
