I've watched countless hours of the Olympics since London 2012 and memorised a ridiculous number of facts, stats, rules, athletes and medallists as I became a bit obsessive

For #Paris2024 I'm on the @Sportsbeat team working on the @TeamGB website and app + much more 💪 ✨️ 🤩

I will be up all night covering the general election results across London. Follow along with me and the wonderful live blog team @LondonersNews #LondonersVote2024

I am really excited to say that after five months of hard work, I passed my 100wpm shorthand exam 🙌

I now think in shorthand, and every time I write something down, it's a fun longhand/shorthand combo!

Some interesting facts from the @metpoliceuk data I used in this piece.

🐟 In April 22, 1000 goldfish were stolen in Barking and Dagenham in 1 offence.

🐦 In Oct 23, 69 birds were stolen in Hounslow in 6 offences

🐇 Only 6% of animals were recovered from Jan-Nov 23

Next week, @Anna_Firth will bring the Pet Abduction Bill in front of Parliament for its second reading. Pet theft has been the subject of years of campaigning by @SAMPAuk_ and they hope to change the law so pets are no longer considered property 🐱🐶

Battersea Park Fireworks is the biggest display in south London. It was advertised as carbon neutral, but there was limited information on how.

Read my feature on the display below 🎆🎇

Instead of a traditional bonfire night @LBHF hosted a light show. It was more environmentally friendly than the usual fireworks, but not everyone in attendance enjoyed the event. Watch the full video here:

I would recommend reading this @FT Kissinger obituary if you get a moment today.
(Also, I fact-checked it!)

Following a @centreforlondon
report on street clutter, I wanted to examine how it can affect mobility scooter users so I spoke to Shelley in New Malden. Watch the full video here:

Excited to say (although a little late) that last month I was shortlisted for the @journoresources fellowship.

I love reading the weekly newsletter every Tuesday night so to be shortlisted was a real honour!

For all the @bbcdoctorwho fans! Did you know the Tardis landed in Kingston?

I spoke to a fan who marked 50 years since 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs' was filmed by going to the various filming spots around Kingston.

I had an amazing time at the @LPCBall last night with @NewsAssociates.

So many people to talk about journalism and it got me even more excited about my future career. Great to see Bill Hagerty named Journalist Laureate too with a presentation from @campbellclaret

[Gracie Daw @graciefdaw]

@Martin_OGorman @RBKheritage Hi, I am a journalist working in Kingston and I saw your post last week. I would love to talk to you more about how you marked the 50 yr filming anniversary if you would be willing? (And looking forwards to 60 yrs). I have loved looking through your photos and would love to talk!

[Gracie Daw @graciefdaw]

I was at @tortoise recording of the News Meeting Live tonight. It was great to hear from @basialcummings @jswinch @GWhittell and Andy Hamilton. Always love Tortoise podcasts so great to catch one live. Catch the recording on Friday when you can hear some of my clapping! 👏

I published my first article for the @SW_Londoner today, talking to @munirawilson and @sarahjolney1 about the @thameswater Teddington DRA plans 💧
