Inspired by my visit home, I recorded To Palio Mou Palto by Christos Dantis (after locking the cats out...). 🎶
I used to sing this with a hairbrush when I was a kid...a more expensive hairbrush was used for this! @ChristosDantis #christosdantis #Singing

A fun UltraChallenge with PA Consulting, raising money for @MindCharity.
Thank you to all who organised.

Never judge a book by its cover - the photos were strategically captured before the heavens opened, the ponchos came out and we ended up looking like drowned rats! 🏃‍♀️ 🐀

After 15 years in this country, I finally gave in and sang a Greek song! Let's see if my family will stop asking me to move back home now...
For my Greeks out there, nothing like a good 'old jacket'...#ifyouknowyouknow

Probably the most special gig this year, having my nephews visit from Cyprus and come hear me sing for the first time! Evidence when one of them thought I sang "noodles" instead of "new day" 🤣🤣 🍝

Another musical night at @mercatometropol, this time singing I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz 🎶 Back on Sunday from 8pm for some Greek tunes, hoping my family stops asking me when I'm moving back home! #livemusic #mercatometropolitano #templeofartsandmusic @latestJasonMraz #London

@NPaparisva Well done Nelena! A wonderful achievement, both completing the Mighty Hike and doing it with less than 1 blister! We really can't thank you enough for supporting Macmillan, and hope you're having a well earned rest now. - Cheryl 💚

[Nelena Paparisva @NPaparisva]

7.5hrs, 0.75 blisters, 1.5 bottles of SPF 50 and 42kms later, my 4th Macmillan Marathon Hike is done.

Always a very emotional day, but sp rewarding and a reminder of what actually matters. Thank you SO MUCH to all who donated ❤️
RIP, daddy. 6/11/15

Such a privilege to attend @BAWPUK Awards & CPD conference. As a former police officer, hearing stories of resilience by women in policing in the face of barriers which still exist, stayed with me. Honour to co-present 2 awards on behalf of @PA_Consulting. #bawp #bawpawards

Scrambled Legs is back! 6 half marathons later, I still don't like running, but I can semi-proudly say that this year's Hackney Half exceeded my eggs-pectations with a PB! Wouldn't have done it without the egg pan and whisk banging (exhibit C below) cheering me on!
