Well, that was a waste of an afternoon… despite me providing the details of my valve when I was referred, and again when the appointment came through the all important file note for the radiographer wasn’t appended… so no scan today… #chd #achd #heartvalve #mri

Fifteen years ago a benefit brat from a broken home a) proved he could scrub up b) apparently spoken to QEII longer than most (it’s the raising awareness of #chd things and c) was challenged to use it… I hope I have…

On my (and the bosses) @parkrunuk birthday, a flashback to meeting the great man @pauls-h.bsky.social and some local news coverage to try and encourage more to #parkwalk www.liverpoolworld.uk/community/cr... #parkrun

Vagaries of credit counting are finally banished… I have done over 50 #parkrun volunteer sessions either at @crosbyparkrun or Derby Park Juniors… a puny amount compared to some, but hope it helps!

Hi-vis? We rock hi-vis!!! Making sure the kiddiewinks know where to go at Derby Park #juniorparkrun @parkrunuk.bsky.social

A strange thought hits me as I have had a bit of a lay-in, going somewhere new for breakfast, contemplated a day with limited exposure to sand! Is this how those poor people spend Saturday, you know the ones, those who don’t do @parkrunuk ! it is very strange… on to 400 next week (fingers crossed 🤞)

@crosbyparkrun is often the last @parkrunuk running, in the face of #bert #stormbert that means wrapping up warm #parkrun
