www.gofundme.com/f/the-ali-br... - I’m ā€˜running’ the Middlesbrough 5K at the end of May (not that I’m counting, but 14 days time… 😬) for which I shall be wearing an unusual hat… šŸ™‚ It’s to raise funds for Candlelighters, a Leeds based charity who help families who have a child with cancer. šŸ™‚

The CBeebies Bedtime Stories set at the Beacon, Wibsey Park as part of Bradford 2025! šŸ™‚

Hi all. I've signed up for the Great Leeds Walk (26 miles! 😮) in July, to raise funds for Candlelighters. If you'd like to donate, the URL is candlelighters.enthuse.com/pf/adrian-th... .Have a great Easter, everyone!

Hi all. On the 20th March Today podcast, they talked about a project in Rochdale where boys were effectively getting rewarded for not being idiots, and girls had to work harder for rewards. They changed focus, and reduced the issues. Anyone have more information about this? Thanks.

Reading Careless People. Sarah left the UN to be Facebook’s first Global Public Policy Director (they didn’t have one, didn’t particularly want one, but she thought they needed one). It’s a really good read, but I can see Mark Zuckerberg might not like it - he doesn’t come over wellā€¦šŸ™‚

Hi all. I’ve just signed up to run the Ali Brownlee 5K in Middlesbrough on June 1st, to raise funds for @candlelighters.bsky.social who are a brilliant Yorkshire-based charity who help families with a child diagnosed with cancer. Sponsor me at www.gofundme.com/f/the-ali-br... please! šŸ™‚

Apple charts - Social Media. Threads at #1, BlueSky at #11 and Truth Social at…#101 (just below Scruff gay chat). And Twitter? That’s at #2 in the News category for some reason…

What I did on my holidays - Grue, part of Bradford City of Culture 2025. šŸ™‚

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social ā€œElon bragged that he spent the weekend ā€œfeeding USAID into the wood chipperā€ The USAID website is dark. It’s staff locked out of emails. Its operations frozen. And millions of lives hang in the balance. ā€œ Can Musk and Trump really do this by executive order?

Hi all. These arrived at school today. I’ve got no idea who sent them (they were in a Browns box), but if it was you thanks very much! šŸ™‚

I'm doing a free giveaway to celebrate the publication of my latest book! Like and repost to enter (UK only). Winner announced on Sunday. See the link below to find out more about the book. #freebie #giveaway

So it begins… Rise tonight (I’m going tomorrow), then events across the region, across the year. Bradford looks great (then there’s free coffee outside the Interchange, free Seabrooks crisps at Forster Square - both as part of the #Bradford2025 package.

Tickets for the reopening day of the Science & Media Museum in Bradford on Saturday booked - all Wallace and Gromit (except Curse of the Wererabbit) on the big screen at the Pictureville. Then onto Rise, the first event of Bradford’s year as City of Culture. Hope the weather’s OK (Rise is outdoor)šŸ™‚

Snowy day!

Walk for Ellerie this morning - Silsden to Skipton along the canal. Find out more about Elleries Glimmers, and donate via. gofund.me/3a6ac861 šŸ™‚

Ticket for Rise, the opening event of Bradford’s City of Culture year, bought! šŸ™‚

The Traitors trailer the BBC are running before Vengeance Most Fowl on iPlayer is pure genius. šŸ™‚

Found the 1947 version of Miracle on 34th Street on an obscure channel (ā€˜That’s Christmas’). Richard Attenborough is great in the remake, but Ed Gwynn embodies Santa, and Natalie Wood, in her third movie appearance, is perfect. If you can find it, it’s great - as is the 1994 version. šŸŽ…šŸŽ…šŸ™‚

Breaking news last night…

Just watched The Primose Railway Children, BBC’s adaptation of Jacqueline Wilson’s book ā€˜inspired by The Railway Children’ - in that there’s a railway near their cottage, and a direct copy of the tree on the rails sequence, and ā€˜daddy, my daddy’ (albeit in a different context).

Hi all. These are being made by a local FB group (www.facebook.com/profile.php?...) to raise funds for a brilliant little girl called Ellerie who has been diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. They’re brilliant quality, and if you’re interested, I’m sure they’ll give you ordering info. šŸ™‚
