Setting up for orchestra and the tam tam fell on my head, giving me concussion 🥴

Can’t wait to see what I’ve been doing wrong all these years 💤 #YearOfRest

Recording a presentation for my uni assignment and desperately trying to slow down my speech 😅 4 slides away from my first two assignments being done 😍

The perfect little squashed grumpy face 😍

With the Traitors having a "secret Traitor", I am excited for the British public to conveniently remember how to use singular They/Them pronouns for a month.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Highs and lows of 2025, because life isn’t always a highlights reel 😌🧵

Wow academic referencing is even more of a pain than I remembered

My boyfriend asked me last night what I wished for in 2026, and I simply said ‘more peace’. I’m excited for a year of slowing down, being more present, enjoying life as it is rather than always stretching for the next milestone. That probably also means being less online 😌😌

Delighted to be designated head chef for family Christmas this year ☺️ Turkey came out a treat!

Ngl got a bit emotional there listening to the Ukrainian choir at the end of the King’s speech 🥹💛💙

I didn’t expect 2025 to be the year I fell in love, but sometimes life surprises you 🥰 Met the parents today who were so lovely and welcoming. I feel very lucky 💚

Damson is settling in nicely 🩶 #caturday #BritishShortHair

Another day, another dangerously overcrowded crosscountry train. I’ve had to alight at Birmingham to breathe after 2 hours of horrendously cramped conditions, and will continue my journey when it’s (hopefully) less busy later 😔

In 2026 we are reinstating the regular One Team Gov breakfast club in London and also running a virtual one for anybody who doesn't have a meetup near them. If you're interested you can sign up for both using the link (and please retweet/skeet!) www.linkedin.com/posts/onetea...

Writing useful feedback isn’t difficult, but it takes time (15-20 mins per candidate). Why bother? - giving non specific feedback gives candidates a poor impression of your org / you, and they may skip over future opps - we have an opportunity to help good people who aren’t yet good at interviewing

Spent an entire afternoon yesterday writing up interview feedback for a recent campaign. Because candidates who’ve taken the time to write an application and prepare for an interview deserve personalised and actionable feedback.

Crawling to the end of 2025. Mentally and emotionally exhausted. But we’ve done very good work this year. Proud as punch ✨

Went bouldering for the first time this morning and omg my arms are in paaain 💪🏻

Hello world. Please say hi to Damson 🩶

Can anyone recommend any Chief Product Officer or similar, that has worked in the healthcare or education space and have experience growing a product from scratch? We’re looking for someone special to join our board that cares deeply about users - any recommendations or ideas appreciated ❤️

Tomorrow, chez Coco becomes a cat household again 😻

Strong contender for photo of the holiday, with 1 day left to go ❤️ 📍 York Minster

My boyfriend’s friends (who I have not met yet) have started a rumour that I am AI. Therefore I have acquired an unfortunate new nickname.. Cocopilot 🤖🤣

Tonight I’m going to my favourite city with my favourite person to see my favourite band ☺️☺️ After a crappy Sept/Oct, things are looking up ✨

Strong theme of leader loneliness in our uni chat this morning 😔 Great to find the camaraderie; concerning so many of us battle these feelings.

Does anyone in my network do freelance website design? If so, please DM me 🙂

One week of wearing spark clear aligners to straighten my teeth, and I’m pleased to report zero pain, and nobody has noticed changes to my speech (even in pretty big presentations) 🦷 Let’s hope it continues that way! 🩵

Just had to write one of the most difficult messages I’ve ever sent at work 💛 It’s one of those moments that grounds you, and reconnects to the knowledge that we work with humans not robots. AI will never replace good managers; it simply cannot replicate humanity and empathy.

So excited to compete at the World Music Championships next year, amongst the best of the best 🤩 what an incredible line up of bands!

Not long until it’s time to install the festive variation: jingle bells in the boot ✨

For the past six months I’ve had a tambourine in the boot of my car that jingles every time I go over a speed bump, and I think this is the kind of everyday whimsy we all need more of in 2025.

Made a will today using the excellent Farewill service. It was quick, simple, and not at all morbid. Hopefully it won’t be needed for a very long time, but it’s best to be prepared 👍🏻

Ready to put October behind me. It’s been a horrible month. Bring on November and cosy, wintery vibes.

Nick’s love of lasagne is so endearing #CelebrityTraitors

FINALLY #CelebrityTraitors

Local pharmacies are awesome. Walked into mine at 12.45pm to ask if they do private flu jabs. They offered me an appointment at 1.30pm same day. 45 minutes between booking and service - that’s faster than some deliveroos I’ve had! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Why are so many people texting/tagging me in posts about the Louvre heist? 😅 I am back in the UK now, promise 😉 💎

The first cup of tea after getting home from holiday hits differently 🫖

✨ “The surest way to rejuvenate is to believe in wonderful things” ✨

Just home from a gorgeous 3 day solo trip to Paris ✨ A change of scene was exactly what I needed to process the work stress, the uni acclimatisation stress, and a series of domestic disasters. I can’t get over how relaxed my face looks in pictures now vs a week ago. Enjoying it while it lasts 😌

I don't have any excuse these days but have been glad to sponsor this event when in that world. Show me a volunteer-led event where people come together with open minds about how to do their job better *on a weekend* in any other sector. Kudos to all involved. ❤️

Back home after another fabulous week in London, placing 3rd at the National Finals 🥉 This was my seventh appearance at the RAH, and it never gets old! An honour to step onto this iconic stage once again 🤩 Finished off the weekend with family dinner ❤️

@radiobeartime.com what are you doing in Gloucester? 🐻

Title defence day 💪🏻

Things I’m holding onto this week: * even on my worst days, I can do some useful things * I have so much love in my life, and my loved ones have come out strong to bat for me in the past couple of weeks * I have dragged myself out of low ebbs before and can do it again 💛 #selfcompassion

One of our lectures last week was on self-compassion, and in that vein I’m trying to be kind to myself as I get back into the day job. 📸 from my post-work grounding walk, enjoying the change of seasons

“Select all squares containing J D Salinger books” - CAPTCHA in the Rye.

Not me watching the F1 and being triggered by seeing the logos of multiple large US SaaS companies who I no longer work with 👀

Another day, another reason to share the ‘it’s ok’ poster 😄 Making things open = not reinventing the wheel gds.blog.gov.uk/2016/05/25/i...
