Technology, Parkinson’s, #sophiefromromania
#Sophiefromromania was, again, hesitant on this morning's park walk. But she perked up when she spotted some wildlife so we all deserved a #bigbreakfast .
A brilliant episode of Radio 4’s The Life Scientific with the man who brought proton beam therapy to the NHS sparked memories of my own experience of proton beam
Thoughtful #sophiefromromania planning her day: “walk, breakfast, doze, sleep, sleep, tea, doze, sleep..”
Such a busy morning for #sophiefromromania conducting house to house inquiries about illegal cats
Listening to fascinating episode of The Life Scientific on BBC Radio 4 about proton beam therapy and the science behind it - in 2019 I made a video about my proton beam treatment on my eye tumour and the “small” hadron collider which delivered it www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/tech...

#Sophiefromromania was determined to launch a major investigation into a suspicious cat but eventually rain stopped play
First outing with her pal Juno for several weeks for #sophiefromromania and when we went to the park she became very frightened by something we could not work out, but back home on local pavements, she was absolutely fine. Still quite an anxious dog
#SophiefromRomania got an attack of the heebiegeebies (sp?) this morning and refused to cross the bridge taking us to the church where I rested my aching back. So we all needed a #bigbreakfast when we got home

Musk’s wealth is a threat to democracy—not just in the U.S. but everywhere. He’s probably the greatest threat to the free world today.
"Bin day really does provide extraordinary sniffing opportunities and I'm going to take full advantage," says #sophiefromromania
The dog rescue story on the RNLI programme on BBC Two has got me in bits…
I don’t really approve of walks in the dark but #sophiefromromania said she’d had reports of suspicious foxes and cats, and needed to investigate
No car today so went on usual walk from front door with #sophiefromromania I did a much shorter loop because of my bad back and Sophie was delighted to find me again
Heading home from Knock airport after lightning visit to talk about AI and creativity at #WestXWest - huge fun and met some lovely people including old partner-in-crime David R. Grimes. We worked together exposing anti-5G crazies but had never met face to face
If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
I love the way this pops up every few months

#SophiefromRomania really enjoys the delicious smells of bin day which makes for a very slow walk especially as I have to stop every few yards to rest my aching back
Good girl #sophiefromromania - she managed to keep calm and not bark or lunge at a small dog passing on the other side of the road
