Immediate 10 #CovidSEND reflections. May blog later but for now:

1. Families shd not need to fight for their children's rights to education, health and social care [I know]

Total respect @1985Deanne and XYZ who brought this case with their children Amber and ABC, for thousands
2. You're only as good as the team you have around you and from what I've seen and heard @polly_sweeney @AliceLIrving and @SteveBroach are a pretty damn awesome team

3. I love arguments that are based on evidence and fact. It's such a relief to hear and see (rare on twitter)
4. I'm left with a deep mistrust of organisations that claim to represent a sector, while taking breadcrumbs from the Department's table... all deeply familiar with a lot of large charities that are dependent, too dependent, on government funding to actually advocate any more
5. Live tweeting from one's own home, with a proper chair and desk, and lunch in one's garden is an absolute treat

6. Live tweeting from court doesn't ever seem to get any less anxiety inducing for me; constant low level fear of being in contempt of court (maybe no bad thing)
7. Live tweeting from court is million times easier if you've had some sight of skeleton arguments or witness statements or anything else in a bundle before; or for example attended a pre-inquest review hearing. I hadn't and felt out of my depth at times #OpenJustice #CovidSEND
8. Live tweeting from a hybrid hearing was excruciating on the concentration levels. Don't get me wrong it's always hard but when you feel like you're in the bottom of a fishbowl, and catch every third or fourth word, and connection drops out regularly it's even harder/impossible
9. I find it *really* hard to accurately spell/type analogous and conspicuously

10. I'm never entirely sure of the value of #OpenJustice live tweeting from court but always pleasantly surprised at the interest and messages. Thanks everyone who followed #CovidSEND I hope helpful
That's me done, I'm off to sleep I think, or stare into space, or make mistakes on my sewing... anything other than look at twitter for a wee while.
