Here are some brilliant books for your children’s #libraries - and it’s worth adding all of the shortlisted titles too. It was hugely uplifting to be at #IBCawards2025 this evening, celebrating representation in children’s books. Powerful words from the host, founder, judges and winners! ❤️

I tell myself that it’s work and life commitments getting in the way of my running training. Anyone fancy paying me to not work for a year to see how wrong I am and realise I’m just plain lazy?! 😬😆

In London yesterday checking the venue for @connectedbydata.org’s unconference in partnership with @dxw.com, @projectsbyif.bsky.social & @adalovelaceinst.bsky.social connectedbydata.org/events/2025-... Special thanks to @gavinfreeguard.bsky.social for his dance moves helping us visualise space 😃🕺🪩

Fab to push over a Parkrun distance this afternoon. It was my first run over 5K in six months and hopefully the first step in the long training plan for my next event … 🤔 #RunningIsFunning #Running #Run

Giving a shout-out today to the Gender Community Lending Library. Trans books posted for free across the UK, plus a penpal scheme!

#FinishedWatching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I’m not a Spider-Man fan but this won a family film night vote. Really enjoyed it. The styling yes, but also the scripting and the subtle adultness of it (I think). m.imdb.com/title/tt4633...

#FinishedWatching Inside Out 2. A fabulous insight to (some of) the emotions we all experience and making sense of them. m.imdb.com/title/tt2202...

A fab #parkrun, if chilly, this morning at Kingdom. Hillier than I remembered but wonderful to see all the other runners. Took some stick for my @tottenhamhotspur.com hat 😉 #RunningIsFunning #parkrunUK

My #Weeknotes for @connectedbydata.org in which I help at a Design Lab, listen to speakers talking about public participation in AI and think about inclusive unconferences. connectedbydata.org/weeknotes/20...

#NowReading ‘The Fated Sky’ by Mary Robinette Kowal. The second book in ‘The Lady Astronaut’ series, inspired by the same real life situations that led to the film ‘Hidden Figures’. Loved the first one. This borrowed from Taunton Library.

#FinishedReading ‘More Perfect’ by Temi Oh. A timely science fiction read about handing ourselves over to tech oligarchs and what we risk when we do. The appeal of “easy” and the blurred lines of human connection. It was long tho and imho a good editor would have removed around 200 pages.

We hope our support reaches more people too! 🙂 www.readinglistfoundation.org

Cool air but sun breaking through at a bumper turnout junior parkrun this morning. Many high fives and high levels of enthusiasm. 🙌 #volunteering #parkrunuk #parkrun

Here is Tim Grose’s list of 835 UK parkrun courses from fastest to slowest using data from 1 Jan 2023 to 25 January 2025. I’ve done 3 of the hardest 10 and none of the easiest. My home parkrun is 305th. #parkrun #parkrunUK #parkrunstats bit.ly/40YfZUQ
