1950s cartoon in Punch book. Didn’t get message then, but setting up psychotherapy practice in 2001, recalled it. Sister found book, I had cartoon enlarged, framed & put in reception. Life is similar now, but business man would have computer on desk, train & home.#worklifebalance

After four plus years, the writing mojo has returned. Not quite sure where it went. Blog updated. https://t.co/73EOdfbtOy

One sobering comment from an LA observer struck home. It could be said of many grim situations around the world. "They are in shock. Their future has gone. Their past has been destroyed." The past can never be changed and there will be a future, just a different one.😢

Male violence against women is an endemic problem in NI and we need action, not promises from Stormont. I've signed this petition to stand up against men's violence towards women - will you sign too? https://t.co/k2adHFkVbx via @actnowni

A megalomaniac who is probably addicted to drugs & is sleeping very little turns his 211 million followers into a hate campaign against one of the most outstanding MPs when it comes to protecting women in Parliament. Yet many MPs & parts of media happy to support the Musk hate campaign. What a shameful moment in British public life. We have learned nothing from death of Jo Cox or David Amess @jessphillips @Keir_Starmer

Have opened a large tub full of research and background material I used for my books. Inspired to write again. Blog is waiting…#chasingrainbows #wisewords

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

The vitriolic abuse directed at @jessphillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable.

It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour.

This is now the most liked tweet I've ever done.
All those years wasted years wanging on about politics...

@RobertLindsay @theRTF1839 Fortunately saw her several times, little more unforgettable than ‘Private Lives’ when blind man in front of me had to keep asking his companion what the audience were laughing at. #nowordsneeded

@prodnose You were very kind to son who turned up to ‘help’ on Saturday mornings. He was at a ladder, but not even on a bottom rung. He is much nearer the top these days.

@DeborahMeaden Wasn’t even allowed to take Maths in 1965, not even at CSE. In 1994, as a Checkout Manager, Waitrose awarded me a bonus for creating a meal break matrix they used for near 20years, as “modern technology couldn’t beat it”. Proud.

Not just sad for the nation for some it can be dangerous. Call if you need help.
