@CUH_NHS @pcambuk @CambsPboroCCG @NHSEastEngland A month later and nothing’s changed. Neither bookings website nor my appt. text mention Deakin. The map link shows a location way across campus. Last time I got the wrong directions at Addenbrooke’s I ended up in A&E having collapsed trying to run across campus. Please sort it!

We keep raising it with clients that they need to think about cyber insurance but they are often still reluctant due to the expense and frequently the response is “that won’t happen to me”. It’s a vital investment. Businesses often think they’re too small…https://t.co/XoG6El5hUy

Essential webinar this morning at work; 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men suffer domestic abuse in their lifetime. Looking out for colleagues, friends and family is vital, and this talk from @HollieGazzardT of the Hollie Gazzard Trust, gave tips on what to look…https://t.co/UmMTdWEKQ0

I’ll be interested to see how Limna pans out. The quoted dealer’s point is fair. Price is about demand more than supply and the value of art is subjective, so it will have its flaws. However, those cases where a 300% markup is fai…https://t.co/dt9ZswP6vH https://t.co/AtQNk7I3ca

First concert in two years tonight! I can’t wait to get performing again. For years I was part of Lloyd’s Choir, a great groups of insurance industry singers. When I left the City in 2016 I had to leave the choir and missed singing for several years befor…https://t.co/DjJeTj0zDk

National Trust members - make sure you vote at the AGM this year! A far right faction is trying to derail NTs mission to be fair and inclusive in relation to where a lot of British landlowners’ money came from. I’m generally a traditionalist, but history…https://t.co/6wQfCKR6Br

Well that was fun. You’ll have to forgive the wind-blown look, it was quite the breeze out on top of the Wing over the pits at Silverstone. A great day finally getting to meet people I’ve only chatted to on Teams the past 18 months, give a whistlestop tou…https://t.co/B5P5FMjFLd

Leonardo da Vinci, who is widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time, was born #onthisday in 1452. Though only 15 of his paintings survive, together with his notebooks, he left behind a significant contribution for future generations of artists
