Proud that the podcast recently recorded with www.1in6b.com (arguably the World's leading podcast on #Diabetes and #Genes) is now available. A very enjoyable 40 mins with good friends Profs Maggie Shepherd and Andrew Hattersley talking #MDPsyndrome and #DiagnosticJourneys. Do please have a listen.

Go Dom! @themsguide.com #MS

Spent a good half hour on Saturday mesmerised by the slowly swirling strands of peat foam in the deep black water of the pool just downriver of Sandy Hole pass in the upper East Dart valley. Something to contemplate for the @dartmoorcollective.org "Flow" zine, perhaps? bit.ly/flowzine

The @dartmoorcollective.org have an open call out for artists to consider the notion of "Flow". Free to enter and those chosen will see their works published. I'm going to submit a series of 4 images that I'm creating from a single photograph taken on Dartmoor of a river bed on a summer's day.

You may have noticed this story yesterday. Did you know that a previous govt quietly ditched pledges for the sugar tax money to be ring fenced for school meals & sports support? £334M was raised 21/22 & went into general tax funds. Will Labour reassign it back??? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On this date in 1814, two Truro flour mills were raided, uncovering an organised crime ring whose product was poisonous to all who ate it… #Cornwall #Kernow #Cornish #Cornwall/Kernow #History #Truro the-cornish-historian.com/2025/03/08/t...

Why keep donating to www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding... now we’ve reached our £10k target? Well, why not? It’s an arbitrary count. What counts is the positive impact we can make- and surely the bigger the better, if at all possible? Thank you for the donations and shares. We’re doing some good.

My first piece for Scribehound is online today, it’s about Caravaggio so, as with all things with Caravaggio it starts off with one thing (fruit) and ends up about sex and death. It’s £1 to sign up for the first month and you can sign up here join.scribehound.com/food?ref=sha...
