31 May: I stewarded at an LGBTQIA+ event called Mighty Hoopla, on the accessible viewing platform. Here's a nice moment of two people dancing on the platform (a wheelchair user and her companion). #NewThingEveryDayInMay

27 May: I played a new game with @themightyboo2 called Funky Fungi. It was a bit confusing (you have to forage cards and create 'clusters') so we'll give it another go at some point! #NewThingEveryDayInMay

22 May: I read The Feather Thief. A brilliant read! It's about a music student who steals rare bird specimens from the Natural History Museum in Tring as he's obsessed with the weird art of salmon fly tying, where using rare feathers is prized.

18 May: I did the Cogwheel Cambridge Stride with @mariawylie. It's a charity walk with a choice of 6, 13 or 27 miles. We did the 13, from Histon to Shelford via Eddington, Coton and Grantchester. We used the MapRun app to find the way! #NewThingEveryDayInMay

17 May: I went to see Hannah From Kickboxing's art at the Botanical Hues exhibition at the Polar Museum. It's lichen under a microscope using dyes made from lichen to create pigment. Thus rubbish photo doesn't do it justice, it's beautiful ❤️ #NewThingEveryDayInMay
