I
realise how sad this is, but you know what my biggest achievement is
this week? I got 65 likes on a comment on a picture on Facebook.
Also,
on a more serious note, I was part of a public-led social
media campaign to bring an abusive husband to justice. Last week
Advertising magnate Charles Saatchi was photographed gripping hiswife Nigella Lawson by the throat in a public restaurant.
She reportedly- and rightfully- wants a divorce.
Lawson
is more than a celebrity chef- she's a role model for women
everywhere. She's well aware that if she goes back to Saatchi, her
career will be ruined. She'll also be delivering the message that
it's okay to put up with an abusive partner. If she splits, she'll be
a stronger role model than ever.
This
tweet got more retweets than I've ever had- more than any joke or
general observation. I'm cautious about mentioning this as I don't
want to be seen in revelling in someone elses misery. Domestic abuse
is a huge problem in the UK, with an incident of this nature being reported to the police every minute of every day.
Sharing
information and allowing people to know what's happening in the world
is something that I'm becoming increasingly passionate about, so I'm
glad I could be part of the online tidal wave that is currently
exposing Saatchi's behaviour. And if it helps address the issue on a
larger scale, I'm glad I could do that too. Twitter and Facebook
quickly caught up with Saatchi on the day, quickly leaving him with
no-where to hide.
Gym:
Bicep
curl: up 1 notch
Chest
press with horizontal grip: up 1 notch. I'm now lifting as much as I
was before I moved out in 2010.
