This is a cross-post from my LinkedIn profile.
As Cancer Research UK (CRUK)'s shops start to reopen (365 of them yesterday alone!), it's brilliant seeing our staff, volunteers and communities coming back together.

Last night, out of the blue, the Twitter app just kicked me out saying my account had violated rules around automated behaviour and that I needed to verify my phone number again.

I've been given an old family photo album. It came from my great uncle and it's one of those really frustrating albums where none of the photos have names associated with them.
