Year 6 SATs this week. My daughter came home with this letter. Reader, it got me. Thank you, St Bon’s in Bristol. This is just beautiful 😍

Lost a platinum ring with a hole in the middle that would hold a stone whilst walking along Bishop road, Donkey Path lane (behind allotments) and Horfield common yesterday, if you found it please message me. It's got huge sentimental value.

Cheeky. And I’m here for it, @monzo (Yes, I said it out loud too 😉) #copywritersunite #copywriting

On #InternationalWomensDay - and EVERY OTHER DAY - don't use words like 'empower' and 'celebrate'. Instead, use words like 'hire', 'promote', 'pay', 'raise', 'bonus', 'fund', 'invest in', 'enrich', 'give equity to', 'elect', 'lead' - and don't just say it, DO IT.

FAO: way too many people (men) in power right now. (A quarter of a way into this book and it’s got me. Superb read.)
