“Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should”

This weekend is the first official running event in my stem cell outfit.

I’m running Exmouth pie and pasty challenge, as many 5.3km laps in 7hrs (you get a pie at the end ☺️).
I’m aiming for a marathon distance (8 laps) in this - for Anthony Nolan charity.
If you’re up for countering some of the bad atm with a bit of good then - if you can - please consider donating, or boosting if times are tight 🙏🏻
I’m #running to help the charity save some lives with your help x: https://www.justgiving.com/page/cato-for-team-anthonynolan-london2025

On account of serving puff the magic dragon for tea, tonight’s song is:
“I cut the dragon,
but I didn’t make the puff pastry”
to the tune of Bob Marley and the Wailers 1973 classic: I Shot the Sheriff
She’s out! But is she any good?
This one I used Allinson’s very strong white bread flour and Doves yeast. I needed a pestle and mortar because we only had big salt in the cupboard 🤷‍♀️. I’m sticking with following Gill Meller’s bread video until mine come out like his (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NTVWuw_SBSo)

Sunday = bread attempt day. I’m giving a white loaf another go. The most unforgiving of all the loaves.
I’m also making a rice pudding at the same time. Yes lads, it’s 1955 again!

The kind of morning that makes you glad you got up early.
A treeful of crows bothering as I jogged past. The hammering of woodpeckers drifting across the orchards. Sun just coming up pink and gold over icy, misty fields.
It was beautiful

It’s official! Guinness World Records APPROVED MY COSTUME!

This means I am running to attempt a Guinness World Record of ‘fastest marathon dressed as a cell (female)’ at London Marathon 2025.

I’m doing it for Anthony Nolan charity to raise money and awareness 💚 (donation page here and in my bio: https://www.justgiving.com/page/cato-for-team-anthonynolan-london2025

Hedgehog central in our garden tonight. If you’ve got prickles, it’s the place to be.

Hedgehog count: 4 hedgehogs in 2 hours

Success! Three tubs of apple pie ice cream in the freezer and test scoops tried to make sure it’s good
