A chance to take part in Kralinge Bos parkrun. Beautiful course and beautiful day and surprisingly my best ever age graded time and fourth fastest ever. Not that time important of course.

Investigation good; but there needs to be a moratorium now on these debt collection processes. Why are local councils .@LGAcomms organisations responsible for #publichealth including #mentalhealth and #wellbeing allowed to do something that is so wrong?.

Brilliant news. I'm quite emotional. Govt has agreed to investigate Council Tax rapid debt collection escalation that is catastrophic for millions. Miss one MONTH'S payment and within six weeks you can have baliffs forcing you to pay for the YEAR plus £100s admin charges.

Good to run first half-marathon of the year at the Milton Keynes Festival of Running today in just over 2hrs and 3 mins. Enjoyed the run; should have worn gloves though, was really quite bitter weather. Really contrast from warm weather at parkrun in Northampton on Saturday.

Great to take part in @FPH @rcpsych event on #publicmentalhealth Important to work across boundaries/disciplines to implement effectively. Also heard much more use can be made of routine health and other data to make case e.g. help ensure experience and voices of all are heard.
