Now, I passed (probably with flying colours - it's early on Monday!), but is anyone else out there curious about what "age" they were estimated at, or is it just me...

Wonderful to be representing @abpi.bsky.social at the Genetic Alliance event in Cardiff this evening celebrating #RareDiseaseDay. Great to hear John Griffiths MS and @jeremy-miles.bsky.social talking about Wales pioneering work in this area, the importance of research and patients.

This is one of the best things about @bsky.app. @mrcolinmurray.bsky.social produces a conundrum every week day. Some are really tricky, others more straightforward. Give him a follow, and test your skills. Just remember, don't put the answer in the responses - keep the fun going for all.

Our cat, Hank, was thoroughly unimpressed by the humans and their celebrations, until the fireworks, when he went to hide behind his usual cupboard! Wherever you are, I wish you health and happiness in 2025!
