@DrRebeccaBall Congrats! I can't wait to read it!

@KathrinaPerry @kerrymlove not at the moment -- the lodger book is currently in production with MUP :)

@menysnoweballes @agnesjuliet I went down the private route with a physio as well to assist with the recovery of my c-section and diastasis recti. I was meant to be offered it on the NHS, but going private meant I started physio just three weeks after birth.

@AggieCrank @socialhistsoc I think every conference I want to go to this year clashes with teaching. Yes, definitely catch up soon x

[Dr Vicky Holmes FRHistS @Vicky_Holmes]

@AggieCrank @socialhistsoc Have a great time! I'm teaching summer school this year, so I can't be there.

@_drsang I've just got back from the Lake District - there at least once a year. Top food tip is Greens in Grasmere. The Honister Slate Mine is also worth a visit and you can climb Fleetwith Pike from the same carpark. And, don't forget to pick up fell badges from Conquer :)

@SarahRoseCrook My son was due at the end of September and arrived at the end of August. He was definitely ready for school when he started and ran in on the first day without even saying goodbye. Another year in nursery would have been too long.

@luciejones83 I'm writing mine at the moment - the first paragraph explains why it took me so long to write a book on lodgers.

@lottelydia My commute is so much quieter now that I can take the Elizabeth Line. I ventured onto central/jubilee/circle lines in the past few weeks and couldn't quite believe the contrast.

@mdanielmartin There's an open writing studio next week if you want to give it a try https://t.co/NGkzaJNHQ6

@mdanielmartin Helen Sword's website has some fun writing resources. I'm attempting to get a chapter over the finish line this week and using the fun timers on here to keep me motivated. https://t.co/PW5puXSEOD

@clairevh I've been weight training for well over a decade and still use 'thing' to describe many an exercise.
