Zyire Wells and D.J. Ross are dominating down in the interior on both ends of the court. The Memphis Blazers’ (15U) frontcourt is giving 918 Showtime (OK) everything they can handle.

Zephy’s amazing speech therapist ran for @PositiveaboutDS
Amber ran mile #17 of the marathon FOR ZEPHY yesterday 😍🙌🏻
If you can support her fundraising please do - the difference she’s made as Zephy’s speech therapist since he was barely a year old is PHENOMENAL.
I’ve got something in my eyes 😭

@Leisureforall @lambeth_council @Lambethgp @LambethLabour we NEED one in Streatham playground - urgently!
The small swings are too small for kids like him & the big ones are unsafe (no support / restraints).
Such a simple addition & he LOVED IT. Pushing is exercise for me, too!

We checked out the new Crystal Palace park today & for the first time in YEARS Zephy was able to get in & out of a swing that I was able to position by to push to get him started.
Sheer joy - note the dip in the seat that essentially acts as a restraint so he’s supported & safe!

It's World Down Syndrome Day tomorrow, 21st March.
Did you now, it’s a stereotype that babies with Down syndrome can’t breastfeed?

Haven’t seen Zephy for a couple weeks cos Pneumonia & won’t be seeing him the next couple of Saturdays so I got him a gift to soften the blow 👀
When he was told YES he could have roast dinner & a bath after Sam’s house today he screamed & danced like a lottery winner 🥹 😆 🙌🏻

This week, I paid tribute to my former constituent @flowergirllondon, who has fought tirelessly for accessible railways.
I hope the government will listen to disability rights activists like Sam and heed the Transport Select Committee's report on accessible travel.

If conversations with friends were 100% honest:
“Hey, shall we just cancel meeting up tonight?“
“Yes, that would be wonderful, I really want to see you but I’m quite tired and I love getting into my pyjamas by 6pm at the latest”
“Great, me too. Phew!”
“I was just working up the nerve to suggest it myself, to be honest”
“I’m happy to continue just exchanging WhatsApps now and then, if that’s okay? Mainly funny memes and news stories… and let’s still remember to wish each other happy birthday, either by text or on Facebook”
“Sounds good. Well, let’s make plans to cancel meeting up again soon”
“I’ll not make a note in my diary”
“Lovely, see you never!”
“Bye!”
