Kate in studio with Sky News presenter Leia in front of a huge backdrop that reads Moon Mission Artemis II

Good morning! How are you feeling? I am tired and wired. So excited about this Moon mission and getting to be part of the Sky News coverage is great fun! Back on in the 1830 slot today. ☺️ #StayBright

Screengrab from NASA livestream showing launch of the SLS rocket against a blue sky,

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m both tired and wired - lots of Artemis II excitement yesterday and this afternoon I’ll be on Sky News talking about the mission! Woke up (too) early and had to check in the crew and been awake since! Exciting though. #StayBright

Through storms and shadows, your light still guides—rise radiant, chase rainbows, and trust every wave carries you closer to shining horizons within your brave, beautiful journey.

Lego SLS launch platform and start of the SLS rocket body

Good morning! How are you feeling? I am getting excited about potential rocket launch to the Moon this evening. Not long now until the Go/No Go poll for starting to load the propellant. Fingers crossed no hydrogen leaks this time! Meanwhile I’m building my Lego SLS! #StayBright

Part built Lego launch tower for the SLS rocket

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m starting to catch the launch fever energy from friends on the space coast. Really wish I was there.. building my Lego SLS instead! Currently looking v positive for launch tomorrow! Back to the Moon! Let’s go! #StayBright

Image of “the glass box” news studio at Sky News. It just out over the atrium and has glass walls. You see lights hanging from a rig above presenter desk, and floor manager sorting something on the table.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Spent the majority of my day at Sky News yesterday getting excited about humanity is capable of when it works together. Sadly my space segments were inbetween war and attempted-murder news. I’ll stick with hope. #StayBright

Artemis II mission patch against green background of my dress. Shaped like an upside down diamond it shows Earth, the Moon, AII and the crew surnames. A red swoosh shows their path and indicates a further goal of getting to Mars.

Good morn-afternoon! How are you feeling? Remember to change the clocks (UK folk)? I’m off to Sky News for an afternoon of talking about Artemis II - launch is starting to feel real. Have become a bit obsessed with their survival suits..! #StayBright

Images shows a T-38 jet and two of the Artemis II crew in their blue boiler suits behind a sign with the Artemis II mission patch and crew names. Let’s go to the Moon!

Good morning! How are you feeling? I am a little spaced out (no pun intended) but taking myself out for a walk while the sun is out. Getting closer to sending humans out of Earth orbit for the first time in over 50 years. Exciting! #StayBright

Image shows theatre stage with a lot up orange circle framing it. At the back is a sign for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. A few heads of people just leaving the theatre at the bottom.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Long day yesterday, but enjoyed the theatre. If you’re going to see The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, remember to take some tissues. Very good, very emotional. Not quite what I thought it was going to be. Right - focus time. #StayBright

Two soggy panda slippers drying in the window, they look like an old couple staring out at the garden. A small I sort rose plant is beside them with a single red rose.

Good morning! How are you feeling? Busy day ahead, featuring trains, MRI and theatre. Perhaps I will treat myself to a jigsaw once I’ve finished my work tomorrow. Still a little dazed. #StayBright

Cluster of dark pink towers on a bush

Good morning! How are you feeling? Decided to pop out for a walk while the sun was shining, and quickly encountered blustery wind and a hail storm! Best laid plans eh? Doing a bit of word wrangling today. #StayBright

Yellow lion cake with a mane of yellow-iced cupcakes and spaghetti whiskers!

Good morning! How are you feeling? It’s a bit grey today and I’m kinda over the excruciating stabbing pain I get when I move in certain ways. Hoping it will subside soon. I am not a patient patient! Got some work to get on with so need to power up my brain. #StayBright

Image shows a copy of Andy Weir’s book “Project Hail Mary” held up against a train window and green countryside whizzes by in the background

Good morning! How are you feeling? Lovely day yesterday and now travelling. Not sure where all the sunshine went! Hastily reading Project Hail Mary before I see the film. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m in the garden listening to the birds and enjoying the feel of warm sunshine. Treated myself to fresh juice and a mille feuille yesterday after a walk in the park. Off to a christening today. #StayBright

Three red tulips in the garden - photo taken from above

Good morning! How are you feeling? Am enjoying the sunshine and taking it slow today after quite a bit of walking yesterday. Enjoying the new found freedom. My tulips are coming out! ☺️ How’s your weekend looking? #StayBright

Bright blue sky behind the round tower of All Souls church near BBC Broadcasting House. Columns, round balcony, clock, more columns and then the spire.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I am finally free of the catheter - needed because they damaged my bladder during surgery. That was NOT fun. Dignity? What’s dignity? Still, guess it was helpful in slowing me down when I was meant to be resting. Sun’s out! #StayBright

Very dainty narcissi - very pale yellow, multiple flowers on a single stalk. Spring is coming!

Good morning! How are you feeling? Hospital trip this morning - first time on tube since surgery. Hoping it’s going to be okay. Need the appt to go well. Sun’s out again which is amazing. Might slowly stroll in town a little once free. #StayBright

Large pink and white magnolia flower - not in my garden sadly!

Good morning! How are you feeling? My doorbell rang yesterday and made me jump so much I really tensed up - cue massive abdominal pain. Worse than laughing! Will be so relieved to heal up some more! Out in the garden in the sun with my book. Not cutting the lawn. #StayBright

Close up of white blossom with yellow stamen and a honey bee busily collecting pollen.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m looking out of the window and thinking it’s a perfect day to mow the lawn in the sunshine. And then reminding myself I’m not allowed to. Jigsaw progressing nicely. Will walk round the block shortly. #StayBright

Partially done jigsaw on a brown board. Shows a selection of flowers and the Kew Gardens greenhouse.

Good morn-afternoon! Oops - distracted by a jigsaw and missed midday! Considering a slightly longer walk today, but still aware I mustn’t overdo it. Crazy burning sensation across my abdomen and my nerves do their best to heal. #StayBright

Bright blue skies contrasting with golden hour light on the local church. It looks a bit like a sandcastle in tone and style. Some leafless branches in the foreground.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I manage a full day without even basic painkillers yesterday, so that feels like progress. Sun is shining so might head for a little stroll so soak it in. Friend coming to do a jigsaw later too. ☺️ #StayBright

🌅 Even when the clouds feel endless, remember: 🌟
Every sunrise is a fresh promise, every small act of kindness a spark that lights the way. Keep believing—your light matters.

Front page of Lego build instructions for NASA SLS Moon rocket. Plus two unopened bags of Lego on table behind it. Let’s do this.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m a little mentally exhausted from keeping upbeat and chill about stuff that’s kinda big, and literally painful. Grateful for the sunshine. Going to kick myself into gear and walk to the park if I can. And Lego SLS is go. :) #StayBright

Shelves in pharmacy stocked with bottles of shampoo, shower gel and nit treatments. Each individually a ticketed with a price label.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m sat in the pharmacy attempting to get emergency single dose of blood thinner after I managed to break a syringe last night. It will be my last dose - woohoo! No more injecting myself with stinging stuff. #StayBright

Dark pink flowers in a cluster on a bush.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I am doing my best to *focus* this morning, but I still feel a bit woozy and time is sort of elastic. Gotta put my game face on for an interview this afternoon, here’s hoping I can form coherent sentences! #StayBright

Green blue and yellow socks that read “Big space nerd”

Good morning! How are you feeling? I am happy the sun is out and I am braving my first walk on my own. So far so good and I even got to pet a cat. Cheering myself up with new socks I’ve been waiting for a good time to wear. A little spring in my step and the air! #StayBright

Little white blossoms on a thin branch against a backdrop of gravestone and churchyard trees and ivy.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m finding the constant discomfort a bit draining this morning. It will pass, I’ll be grand, but it’s taking it out of me a bit. And whoever said “laughter is the best medicine” obviously hadn’t just had an open myomectomy. Hoo boy it hurts to laugh! #StayBright

Little white flowers that are almost like delicate bluebells, but white. Coming out of lots of fresh green leaves.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I managed to go for a very short walk yesterday, so that’s progress. Not a very patient patient, but doing my best not to overdo it. Certainly don’t want any op re-dos this time round! Loved seeing your cute animals and signs spring is coming. #StayBright

Picture of a happy fluffy alpaca’s face. It’s been my Home Screen for years after Andrew West sent it to me on a bad day and it made me smile

Good morning! How are you feeling? I am pleased to report that I have escaped from hospital and truly enjoyed some actual sleep in my own bed last night. Some stuff I have to get used to, but I’m much brighter today and aim to stay that way (by avoiding news!). How’s your weekend? #StayBright

Darkness frames a single rectangular window, in which a grey London skyline and sky is seen. BT Tower is the focus.

Good morning! How are you feeling? I like to put out something upbeat each day, but today the toll of pain, lack of sleep, open surgery, medication etc is getting to me a bit. Could you send cute cat pictures? But nothing too funny, because laughing really hurts! Okay, I got this. Yeh. #StayBright
