@GWRHelp Train cancelled this morning - can I use my ticket on the next available trains - it's unclear which will be running. Trying to get to London for a booked exhibition with timed entry.

@ThreeUK After all the hype, 4/4 in our household got no alert and we were all waiting for it. Not very reassuring!

@onepeloton @sarayelich Down in the UK too

Happiness is a day's #ACT training, like a mini retreat and it's not even the weekend yet. I love watching top therapists work and learn so much from this. And the best zoom playlist #ACTMAWSE @thinkpsychol @contextconsult Thank you!

@noslohciNwerdnA Saw you making these in the town yesterday and it was such a joyful thing. As we walked back through town we saw people smiling, enjoying the little shapes. Here's one I saw near the bottom of Milsom St. 😀❄🐤❄

@Keir_Starmer Yes, but what are you going to do about it. My son had a devastating set of results. We're hearing a lot about those marked down from A*s to A/Bs but what about the middling student hoping for a B or C and ending up with an E. This doesn't just affect the elite. #ResignWilliamson

This is quite an old video from @amnesty but just reminded of it... powerful and moving stuff. The value of eye contact, empathy, compassion... Get your tissues ready! https://t.co/1PT6yG4k2F @365dayscompass

This book by @ShamashAlidina is high on my radar at the moment, looks really useful! https://t.co/E2nhejWWCQ
