We're out celebrating Phebie 's graduation Dr. Watson! Doctor of Philosophy Molecular Biology, Biophysics & Biochemistry 10 yrs of tears, tantrums, pain & debt & that's just Sara & I Unbelievably proud. I shouted, "Howay Phebie, pet!" Couldn't resist Almost shouted, "Keegan!" as well, but...!

I've just heard about Kevin Keegan. I feel totally numb. Can't comprehend it. He meant so much to me in so many ways. Met him recently with my youngest son & he was just so lovely & made us feel special. Rest in Peace 🖤🤍 x

Ahh, man! That's amazing. Cape Verde draw against the favourites & European Champions, Spain. They defended like their lives depended on it. The keeper was fantastic! Brilliant! 😀

You realise how posh Gosforth is, when you see 4 schoolkids sitting at a table in a nice restaurant instead of drinking bottles of cider down the park & shaking a sh!tty stick at passers-by, whilst trying to cadge a tab.

Everyone is focusing on creepy Stephen Miller or the bloke hiding behind glasses, but look at the strange fella standing by the curtains watching it all unfold. That's the most bizarre thing. Trump watching as it plays out, when he should have been taken away to safety!

I've tried meditation, but my mind is constantly full of music; thoughts; thoughts about those thoughts; thoughts about those thoughts about thoughts; & other thoughts that have no relation to any of the other thoughts. It's difficult! #Meditation

It’s all about choices. Charge circa 1M disabled people an extra grand a year, or up taxes in the super wealthy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

During last year's Budget, the government removed its tax break on insurance and it must now cover 12% on each insurance premium. It must also now pay VAT on some vehicles meaning the scheme will need to pay out an additional £300m from 1 July.
Nigel Fletcher, CEO of the Motability Foundation, said that would be the equivalent of a price rise of £1,100 for every driver on the scheme.

Howay the lads! See you on the other side (hopefully) aall wi smiling faces! GET INTO THEM! #NUFC Ah'm gannin in - as soon as ah've finished on the netty & had a shower! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

I'm not well enough to go to tomorrow's Cup match v Man City. I can't sell my tickets directly, but if anyone knows a wheelchair user who wants to go, my tickets, including a carer space, are available from the club. Just phone #NUFC & ask. Thanks

Sara says there's a cinema in Heaton where you can have a meal that's related to the movie, so if they show Mama Mia you get Greek food, & for Grease you'd have American burgers, etc. My first thought, "I wonder what they'll serve if they show The Human Centipede?

Well, the positivity lasted about 2 hrs. Further tests with hand specialist & need a referral back to the consultant, to orthopedics for my wrist & elbow, & to spinal for my neck & shoulders. Hand is getting worse....

Just spoken with my case handler & she told me that the other driver's solicitors have admitted full liability. That's one positive, thankfully. At RVI re my hand & waiting for referrals for back & MH. Feels like I've been placed in lockdown again, but just me! Not good! Some positive news, tho 😀
