Pleased to meet Nobel Peace Prize laureate Denis Mukwege. His work at Panzi Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo has given hope to countless survivors of sexual violence in conflict. We discussed the need to defend a world that puts human dignity first.

Still quiet - yet - at #SJP, though camera crews are already in place. Sir Bobby is looking proudly on. Time for new statues methinks 😁 #nufc

"What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma" by Stephanie Foo amzn.eu/d/9rFaI0W. Fantastic book, albeit difficult reading at times. Presently Β£1.99 on Kindle. Bargain.

The person who performed the rescue was Cimi Kazazi, who runs the Italian Greyhound gastropub. If I lived anywhere near there, I'd be booking a table.

Well worth the read- by the always excellent @kadriliik.bsky.social
