@Gilesyb I remember reading this many years ago and it felt like I was living in a completely different world where all the rules of behaviour has changed. It was a shock to return to normality

@didlawkaren I very much empathise with this! Track changes are very confusing

@RECNeil I love the morning mist, it is very atmospheric

[Ian Young @IanYoungBEIS]

@cvhdavidblues @robnitm @_amusebouche_ @chestymorgan @FromPaperchase @PorterbrookRail These are really lovely murals. They made the trains look smart and cheerful Sad to hear that they have been lost

@MJCarty I am thinking of joining but as a personal account, rather than a work account. In my personal Twitter account I mainly post pictures of places I've visited and wildlife I've seen

@CSWATeam It’s a great thing to do - unfortunately I can no longer donate blood because of some medication I’m taking

@didlawkaren @didlawUK @LizMcG_emplaw @jk_rowling @bindelj @MForstater @Docstockk This is a really interesting blog Karen, thank you for writing it.

@geniuswithinCIC I absolutely agree with this. I am much more likely to remember e.g Wednesday 14 June than just 14 June. Having this extra piece of information helps fix the date in my mind

@Gilesyb I used to work with Bill, he is a great man

This is a very interesting discussion about dyspraxia in the workplace, with some helpful tips. I particularly liked the points about learning the ‘geography’ of an office building - really important for someone with dyspraxia.

@MJCarty Gosh, my immediate thought is that it must be aliens!

@L_Garvin Sometimes I work from my sister’s house. Her cat likes to sit on my laptop to encourage me to stop working

@L_Garvin Dogs are always right!
