@MichaelRosenYes Very kind of you, Michael, thank you. I've emailed you an article I wrote for a magazine, based on what we briefly talked about earlier. I thought you might enjoy my own dictionary of 'new brain' words. 😱😄

Such a joy listening to @MichaelRosenYes today @edbookfest, hosted by Richard Holloway. Hugely inspiring listening to Michael and so great to meet him. Can't wait to read this book with a cuppa and a big slice of 'Chocolate Cake' (fav poem to read our loud forever). ☕📚

This is our cat. We’re really worried about him and I hope we’re reunited soon. He went missing near the Union Canal at Fountainbridge. Please share, particularly in the #Edinburgh area, and if you’re in the area please let me know if you’ve seen him. We need to get him home.
