A beautiful morning and #sophiefromromania was in a frisky mood for our walk - a bit too frisky with some other dogs. Then we all got a #bigbreakfast whether we deserved it or not.

How lovely to have a walk before breakfast with @sociabledog.bsky.social and Nina and Ripley - heading home today after a wonderful stay in Portsoy

What a wonderful audience at the Portsoy Book Festival to hear me and @sociabledog.bsky.social talk about #sophiefromromania - great questions and enthusiastic book buyers

A serious question: is there anyone with a good ethical record who manages to be on good terms with Trump for a longer period of time or are the two mutually exclusive?

Walking another dog this morning- with @sociabledog.bsky.social and Ripley before our event at the Portsoy Book Festival tonight

Yes #sophiefromromania I know you want to pursue that cat to the ends of the earth, but we can’t go onto somebody else’s property….

Inspector #sophiefromromania is relaxing after another successful bin day followed by some vigorous barking at the decorators who dared to enter her home

Still a few tickets left for my Barnsbury Book Festival event with Hugh Pym on Sunday www.barnsburybookfestival.org/authors/rory...

My bike was stolen from Ealing Broadway bike racks right under a CCTV camera - understand that the police can’t look at hours of footage for every theft. But how can I get access to the footage?

Also available on other platforms if you’re not a Spotify fan. Here’s an Overcast link Listen and speak up (or sing!) for the people with Parkinson’s in your life

My bike got stolen yesterday and I stepped outside this morning with #sophiefromromania to find the foxes had emptied our food bin all over the pavement but we’re trying to keep cheerful

In all the kerfuffle around having my bike stolen, I didn’t get round to putting up a picture of #sophiefromromania but here she is this morning on a decent walk with Goncalo and Juno

Infuriating end to a great afternoon recording two episodes of #moversandshakers - got back to the bike racks opposite Ealing Broadway station to find my bike had been stolen. Thief obviously not put off by CCTV

I know this is me still mourning a long dead world but it does feel remarkable that, not that long ago, British papers on the right would have run editorials and columns arguing that Hungary showed that only a solid, reliable centre-right party could defeat dangerous populists, but now? [crickets]

#SophiefromRomania and the prof having a moment in the kitchen

Gorgeous morning for our Sunday park walk with #sophiefromromania then home for a #bigbreakfast

Celebrated World Parkinson’s Day at a fabulous event organised by the Sutton PUK group - the Movers and Shakers recorded a podcast and did a live show promoting our voice campaign

#SophiefromRomania at 6:15 this morning having successfully woken us up

The latest from the exciting innovative world of crypto.,,,

The prof and I have various aches and pains making the morning walk more challenging but #sophiefromromania was very patient with us

A perky #sophiefromromania on this lovely morning, but I haven’t told her yet that I’m taking her to the vet

www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma... This is such an important essay (HT @jjn1.bsky.social ) about the dangers of blaming AI rather than humans for war crimes

Ealing Town Hall, April 7th, 1990 Oh frabjous day!!

It's deeply annoying that all of the people who promoted and backed Trump will blithely carry on making prouncements and grifting away without any consequences.

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Why is it taking so long to find a cure for Parkinson’s? I’ve found three things we need to improve to give us a chance.

Any interest I have in the moon mission fades the moment I hear Trump‘s voice celebrating it. It’s the ultimate irony that the craft is named Integrity.

Our park walk with #sophiefromromania was like a nature documentary - first a fox trolling a green keeper’s dog from the other side of a stream then we ran into Shuggy who’s terrified of Sophie - but Shuggy’s kinda owner handed over treats

Imagine you’re a Hollywood producer or a TV executive in 2015 and a screenwriter pitches you a future where a President issues this message on Easter Sunday. The writer would never work again

Back from lovely relaxing family break in #whitstable - #sophiefromromania got on fine with the gorgeous grandkids but remains terrified of crowds and big open spaces like beaches

#SophiefromRomania is still pretty nervous outside the holiday home but got quite cuddly with grandkid 1 last night

Who says nobody reads any more?

A more civilised 0615 start with the grandkids and #sophiefromromania giving us an undisturbed night. Munchkins munching toast while the prof prepares to take the dog out

0644 Whitstable. #SophiefromRomania woke us at 1 and 5, the grandkids at 6 - “the seagulls woke us”. But having a nice holiday…

We’re off to the Kent coast for a few days with #sophiefromromania plus the grandkids and their parents - should be fun shouldn’t it Sophie?

After a walk with Juno #sophiefromromania was keen to show off Zoomies to her pal in our back garden

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... It’s becoming ever clearer that the NHS and pharma companies have failed to give clear warnings about the risk posed by dopamine agonists - drugs which can cause impulsive behaviour

#SophiefromRomania was delighted to accept a treat from a friend on this morning’s walk

youtu.be/uTOld91Ax9c This @parkinsons.org.uk ad hasn’t pleased everyone but I thought it packed a tremendous emotional punch

Going on Times Radio to talk about Matt Brittin, new BBC DG

Are we the only ones who put our clocks forward? A lovely peaceful trip to the park with #sophiefromromania and then a #bigbreakfast

Good morning #sophiefromromania - this morning we woke you rather than vice versa and that’s good

#SophiefromRomania is shedding her winter coat and there are white clumps of fur all over the house

Got this from Twitter It's the truth I could not have said it better

A quick trip to Cambridge for the prof’s @bennettschool.cam.ac.uk conference where I realised yet again what high esteem my brilliant wife is held in #proudoftheprof

A perky #sophiefromromania this morning - me not so much

It’s the way she tells them - you’ve got to hand it to Karoline Leavitt, she has a fabulous sense of humour

Another eventful bin day walk with #sophiefromromania - a street sweeping machine pursued us onto the pavement, there were dogs across the road to be barked at, and my bad back played up again

On patrol this morning #sophiefromromania had several leads to follow up
