Happy Sunday guys - hope the day pans out exactly as you want x

The Daily Telegraph writes about how BREXIT was a bad idea and Joe Rogan is sad that ICE are killing people - you fuckers are the makers of this sort of world

Go, Osteoblasts, Go!

Things I regret doing today - using the body composition machine at the gym. It was not the positive motivator I expected it would be. Pandora's box should remain unopened in the future 🙄

Merry Christmas to you all - I hope the day brings you much joy and happiness, wherever you may be xxx

Bad news - I've done a very comprehensive job of trashing my left tibia so can't run for an extended period. Already pretty depressed by the news & can feel my fitness dropping off rapidly after just a few weeks. #runsky - help me out: what can I do to maintain my aerobic base for the next 6 months?

Soooo, I have been walking and trying to train on a fractured tibia. That explains a lot 😬

Hate not being able to run at the moment - knee problem persists and all of the progress I've made in the last 6 months is falling away. It's so miserable

I have a task for anyone reading this, to be completed tomorrow. Do something nice for a stranger. Do this not because you expect anyone to reciprocate, or to know, but because it might make the world a better place. Random acts of kindness might be the thing that saves humanity. You never know.

Seems I've trashed my knee and I'm getting big time sad that I can't run. Any tips on how I can make (what I think is) pes anserine bursitis recover as quickly as possible?

Is there anything better than watching people you care about achieve success in the things that they've worked hard on? It fills my heart with joy 😊

I guess friendly reminder needed that November exists and under no circumstances is it Christmas yet

Sunday has been pretty perfect

Just recorded a talk for a webinar this week. There was a time I gave a SAS careers talk every couple of weeks. I chalked up 30 one year, which now seems bonkers. Alternative career pathways still need parity of esteem folks, even if I say it slightly less often than I used to. #SASsix

Crazy weather makes me do crazy things

These autumn morning runs are getting a bit fresh but the conditions can make for some wonderful views

I love my portfolio career - don't let anyone ever tell you that the only way to be happy in medicine is to jump on the treadmill to consultant jobs!

Mark vs cyclist - still managed to finish my half, although the unintended break at 18km ruined my pace somewhat

Night shifts do have their moments of magic

Did I think I knew better than the weather forecast and go for a run when the winds were at their most blowy? Why don't we ask my bruised face 😭

The @rcoanews.bsky.social were kind enough to ask me to write an article about "lessons learned from SAS leadership". I hope they don't mind me sharing it here. rcoa.ac.uk/bulletin/aut...

First of the month, first half marathon distance 🏃🏃🏃

And just like that, September is over. I really need this year to slow down a bit - I'm having a hard time keeping up!

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law. These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

Finding out that a surgeon you have real respect for already is a quiet trans ally making the world better one gender affirming surgery at a time is such a genuinely lovely thing 🏳️‍⚧️ #transrightsarehumanrights

My new running vest is boss 🦕🦖

A week of long days covering the CEPOD list is wearing thin...

Getting out in the fresh air at the moment is very much like playing with fire - will I come back sunburned or soaked to the skin? Only the weather gods really know

I think I'm going to lose a toenail or two... Does that mean I'm finally a runner?

Another year at The Defender Bramham International Horse Trials done - had a genuinely lovely day with my emergency team in sector 5 watching some incredibly skilled riding in changeable conditions #phem #britisheventing

Is there anything more exciting than receiving a late night WhatsApp from a parent asking a complex medical question without any context? Are they dying? Have they read the Telegraph this morning? Are they watching 24 hours in A&E? The possibilities are endless!

How sad it is that so many with news media , entertainment and political platforms have cruelly or cynically chosen the route of the transphobe - I keep hearing of a rise in mental health crises in the trans community - know there are many that support you

Heading home after a weekend in London supporting the finish line medical offering at the marathon - worked alongside some incredible St John Ambulance volunteers in challenging conditions but very proud of everything we achieved

Busy few days of volunteer response work with EMICS, working on behalf of EMAS - delivering enhanced skills and decision making at the scene #volunteer #phem

1/ As a Medical Examiner, I review a lot of deaths & I'm always humbled to see just how good my primary care colleagues are at recognising the coming end of life & putting in place the support needed to ensure that it's as calm & peaceful as possible.

Having to take PEP following an unfortunate incident at work and, while I'd heard that the side effects can be challenging, I had not anticipated just how comprehensively they were going to kick my arse 😖

🚨 Reform UK are spending big to win Lincolnshire’s first mayoral election and hand the far right a historic victory. We’re fighting back, but they’re reaching more voters. We need your help to turn the tide before it’s too late. Chip in today: ⬇️ 🔗 secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/168281/...

This is going to make it infinitely more difficult to sign fentanyl out from the CD cupboard

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK Led By Donkeys is 100% funded by small donations.

Finally got this little guy mounted in the LEGO room and pretty pleased with the results - crucially, it frees up more shelf space to build... #AFOL #Concorde #LEGOConcorde #LEGO

Course Medical Director for another ALS course - always nice to see the candidates grow in their confidence and skill over the two days

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine
