Currently in the highly coveted “Lisa’s destination of the yr” award (that I just made up) Germany is in the lead. Ahead of U.K. and Spain. Azerbaijan enters the race today so rankings may change. Follow me for more useful information 😂😂 1. Germany 🇩🇪 2. U.K. 🇬🇧 3. Spain 🇪🇸

Next stop Berlin 🇩🇪

To all those who said “there is no way you will pack all that climbing gear into one 23kg bag”…… well, let me tell you…… …. …. …. …. …. You were right. I had to buy a second bag. 🤣 250L of luggage and a combined weight of almost 50kgs - nailed it 🤣🤣🤣

Well 2026 seems to be a real joy for us all so far 😂😩😭 we’re only 11 days in folks…… this could be a long year 😂

In 3 weeks I will be 39. The last year of being in my 30’s 😬😭😭😭

The awesome @lisaforte.bsky.social is currently discussing ‘AI: Is there a single source of truth anymore’ with Dennis Fisher from BeyondTrust. So much we see online needs to be questioned as to whether it is real or fake. Fascinating.

Ahhhh great 2026 is starting well then www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

I look like a serial killer who suffers from back pain

It’s fine. We’d happily accept “weak” and “decaying” over authoritarian 😂😘 Trump criticises 'decaying' European countries and 'weak' leaders www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wish Rachel reeves would stop harassing people like this 😂😂😂

Strong evidence that computers were a mistake.

Scenario: your CTO gets indicted after you’re caught in a conspiracy to illegally export Nvidia chips to China what do you do? Answer: Claim he was never our CTO we just were confused for a bit and thought he was 😂😂😂 Bonkers arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Wishing you all a very merry budget day. May the odds be ever in your favour 😂😫😭😫😭😫😭 1230 😬

Happy pre-budge day folks Tomorrow we can be utterly depressed again as a nation 😂😂😂 (Pre-budge - pre budget for those of you who don’t watch have I got news for you )

1) tragic and makes for good clickbait but Reuters fact checked this a few years ago and found no evidence of this execution claim being true. 2) supreme leader has much ageing 😂😂😂

Taking part in my most hated activity: small talk 😂😂😭

If your perceived level of resilience and readiness is based on the sales pitches of the products and technologies you’ve acquired you’re headed for trouble……. Resilience can’t be one layer thick! www.linkedin.com/posts/lisa-f...

I became highly caffeinated and went on a rant about inclusivity of women so often being a PR slogan and nothing more. Please share your comments! I want to hear about other examples www.linkedin.com/posts/lisa-f...

I’m 39 in Jan (21 really but you know…) I decided to celebrate my last year of my 30’s instead of the usual “turning 40” year. So I need suggestions. Not a party person, like an adventure. Pretty much open to suggestions!

Does the data show what we are doing is working? If not why are we continuing to do the same thing? www.linkedin.com/posts/lisa-f...

In the last month or so I’ve realised, or observed, three of my friends (who always hid this well it seems) being increasingly right wing. I am very centrist in my views and I have no issue with conservative views at all, right wing for me goes further than that. It’s upsetting, confusing and hard.

😂😂 I see no issues here

It’s Friday, in week after week of bad stories on the news, terrible weather and endless stress let’s appreciate this series of photos of a cat from an automated feeder 😂🥳😍

This is a phenomenal book by the brilliant Carlo Masala. It “war games” out what would happen if Russia wins in Ukraine with worrying outcomes. Based off of data & analysis the scenario incl plausible elements and really captures some of the political figures well.

Facebook delicately reminding me how nice my life was 4yrs ago. Thanks 🙏😂😭

I have a sneaky suspicion this post I did on LinkedIn may have been hidden 😂 maybe paranoia but it’s unusual to have barely any views of a post. Maybe totally in my head but it seems a bit odd

To avoid LinkedIn’s rather aggressive “we use all your data to train our AI unless you opt out” policy you have a week to opt out! This is for people in the U.K., Europe and Hong Kong I believe. They have tried to keep this quiet haven’t they 😂 Here is how you opt out:

Like Santa Claus my busiest time of the year is the run up to Xmas. Also much like Mr Claus I will be travelling to 9 cities in 4 weeks. I will not be bringing joy - more cyber security guidance and crisis simulations 😂 www.linkedin.com/posts/lisa-f...

Ah, so she's not a racist, she just thinks there too many non-white people on TV and she finds it upsetting.

A screen grab from a video I’m making so it looks worse than it is but I had to share because 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Caving: for when you need to relax
