I’ve written a short piece reflecting on what it means to reach 64—what it feels like, what I’ve learned @llamapodcast and what really matters.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

“A Teesside icon” - the news of Chris Rea’s passing just stopped me in my tracks. The timing. Driving Home for Christmas - so evocative in its simplicity and warmth. RIP. bbc.com/news/live/c0q5g3v02q…

The Black community faces a 6-year life expectancy gap. This equates to 268 million years of lost time. Helping people reach their full potential eases suffering for themselves & those around them. #BlackCommunity #LifeExpectancy

I love the way @BoomRadioUK celebrates aging with positivity and respect. Great DJ turn by Pete Murray on his 100th birthday today, as he looked forward to his 200th - with an audible twinkle in his eye.

The fitness industry's focus on the 'perfect' body is a misconception. Meeting individuals where they are and being inclusive removes the fear of not being engaged and loving exercise. #bodypositivity #fitnessforall #livelongpodcast

When time is limited, dedicating an hour to aerobic activity might unintentionally reduce time for other beneficial activities. Reallocating the time from extra steps to muscle strengthening could be more effective for better health, suggests Prof. Melody Ding. #fitness #health
