Legal marketing since…a really long time. Changemaker. SEND parent. 80s fan. Follow me here for the stuff I don’t say on LinkedIn.
Hurrah! The lightest dusting of snow. My strangely Nordic heart has been hoping for this! I hope it gets really thick overnight and that school is closed.

Oh wait - I am nearly 50.

META seems to be getting even more rancid if that is even possible.

Better ramp it up on here folks.

Well - at least 40 people anyway.

Turn up late to school play.
Realise have actually booked tickets for another night, have to disturb entire seated audience to find spare seats for us.
Talk loudly about how the geography teacher looks like Paul Mescal.

So amazing to be back in an event, in real life, with She Breaks the Law hat on feeling a shared purpose when it comes to gender equality and women in law. I also managed ti twin with Linklaters branding which I thought was very fun.

Please can we ban people eating fried chicken on public transport? The train, the bus, the tube….every single mode of transport has involved someone eating fried chicken opposite me.

On my way to a large women in law event to share stage with amazing women and male allies discussing how we cannnot afford for AI to exacerbate the gender equality gap and no, this is not intimidating at all.

Must. Remember. Not. To. Swear.

Yours

The problem with making limoncello for the fair before you have even eaten toast is that you need to check for how strong is is when you are adding the sugar syrup and well…now I feel pissed.

Fun fact: with a learning disabled child you will be doing these sodding elves FOREVER.

Frosty morning grass makes me unspeakably happy.

I am so happy to have a place I can share absolutely inane thoughts again.

What I love about being back on a channel like this is the ability to say “I have had a really shit day.” The kind of day where you genuinely think about a rapid career change and becoming employed again. Despite being so chronically unemployable I have to run my own business.

Ugh - seeing as I can no longer bear to fire up the “other place” here I am, mainly thanks to @brianinkster.bsky.social who is the ONLY person I am following so far. Lawyers! Legal innovators! SEND parents! Lawbreakers! Find me! Follow me!
