Touch Look Check
Get to know your normal by checking your breasts regularly. Touch your breasts. Look for changes. Check anything new or unusual with a GP. What’s your normal?

A Saturday morning parkrun to start weekend. Felt good carried on at a good pace and ended up with a personal best for 5k. Doing longer runs really helping me. Really not sure whats happened to me enjoying this... #parkrun
On this day in 1996, #60ftDolls released their debut album, The Big 3. What an album, Happy Shopper, Stay, Talk To Me, absolutely fantastic, my favourite was Pig Valentine! What was yours?
Enjoyable parkrun along the seafront in Prestatyn. Something about the waves and sea to keep you going
Last night the best band from Wales put on an amazing show, playing everything we could have hoped for and more. Personally the epic version of Mountain People was the highlight. Great to spend it with @jamescurran.bsky.social and @theresa-c.bsky.social too. Photo dump to follow. #SFAOK
An amazing time last night seeing Super Furry Animals in Llandudno with @jamescurran.bsky.social & @maffrj.bsky.social . Fabulous setlist, they really are such a special band. Here's Something 4 the Weekend. 😀
Think this Live Report has just keeled over, no recollection if this euro entry #totp
5th parkrun completed this morning and for an old un, pretty happy with this run. Most confident I've felt and determined to press on.

An evening with Miles Hunt in Liverpool. Glorious 2 hours of tales and tunes of 40 years of music.
Yesterday afternoon me & Mr C @jamescurran.bsky.social were gifted 2 tickets for 80's Anthems by Candlelight at Chester Cathedral. Was a really lovely evening in such an atmospheric historical venue. Lots of dancing & singing all night.
Fabulous night seeing Jim Bob with @jamescurran.bsky.social at Manchester Academy. We may now be 50-somethings but last night we were 20-somethings once more.
A night for the 50 Somethings, the national treasure that is Jim Bob at Manchester Academy
A rainy night in Manchester to see Elles Bailey at Band on the Wall
This mornings 5k inspired by early 90's indie disco sounds of Carter, Ned's, Stuffies, Jesus Jones and Inspiral Carpets
The Bunnymen, always an occasion in Liverpool. Cracking night at the Empire
A night with dEUS in that London for the Worst Case v In a Bar tour. Everyone's favourite Belgium band. Only one night in UK for tour so a road trip was needed for a gig that was just pure musical perfection.
Match 11 of 2026. Welsh Cup semi-final, Rhyl against Caernarfon Town at Colwyn Bay. 0-0 half time in an even game so far.
Love this little arrangement in our summerhouse. Grow and bloom is such a wonderful ethos to follow in life 😀
The latest attraction in town, a Black Swan making a short stay over at Marine Lake in Rhyl
