In a moment of September back-to-school madness I've signed up for the London marathon. I'll be attempting to keep pace with my father @anshampton, who has multiple marathons under his belt vs. my 0. If you can, please consider donating to @ProstateUK: tinyurl.com/4x2ys46w

I will happy return the 100% refund on my ticket for today to the ECB if Stokes calls @jimmy9 back up to overtake Warne. How do I contact @benstokes38 to sort this out?
From a career that felt endless comes a legacy that will be timeless 👏

Lost in the hubbub of the Euros on Wed is the fact that the last of my remaining teenage sporting heroes (now @andy_murray has quietly bowed out over the weekend) steps onto the pitch for the last time. Taking small comfort in the prospect of some excellent sports montages...

If you’re preparing for pupillage interviews this year do come along - if only to watch me back in the hot seat after 5 years and being reminded myself that interviews can be daunting! – at Kensington, London
Our popular pupillage interview workshop is back for the third year running! Details, including how to register, can be found on our website: womeninfamilylaw.net/events/

This is extraordinary. – at Islington, London
Financial pressures and cutbacks in the courts were very well illustrated in 2 person Court of Appeal when we were told by the Court that due to cuts they had to share a copy of the White Book and furthermore it was a 2022 White Book

I joked with @JoeRainer_ about how glad I was the Supreme Court waited until just after I landed from holiday to hand this down. I’ve now barely managed to acclimatise before @michael_allum has published a (comprehensive) summary doing my homework for me! – at Liverpool, England
With his signature concision and thoroughness, @michael_allum has turned round this excellent primer/summary on Potanin in less than half a day - the proceedings below, the ratio of the UKSC majority judgment, and its likely impact going forward.

Spending my Saturday being reminded that there is a very real reason I avoided career choices involving hands-on skills. I’ll see everyone after I’ve emerged from this pile of wood in the New Year. – at London, England

You’ll hopefully walk away with answers to those queries, but you’ll definitely walk away with a QEB umbrella (seriously, please take one, I don’t want to carry any full boxes back…) – at Islington, London
Repping QEB with @AlexandrHampton at the National Pupillage Fair, please come along with all your queries!

This news just caused me to drop everything and panic-buy an unseemly number of their pasta bowls (unrivalled depth, prone to breakage by housemates).

I reckon England have played approximately 2.5 truly bad days of cricket this test series and I have been present for 1.5 days of them. Officially retiring from the ballot for 2027. – at Brent, London

This account has brought me so much pure, silly joy over the years. As has @StuartBroad8. His retirement leaves just one of my childhood team still playing and me weirdly emotional… – at Kensington, London
Stuart Broad, forever not out, will no longer be batting
