New hosts of #Strictly ?

The wards in St Bartholomew's were kept warm with fire places, as you can see in this 1920s ward photo. Here are entries in the Governors minutes contracting Joseph Newland to provide 'old and small cole' to the hospital in the 1690s #ArchiveAdventCalendar #WarmFire #Archives #History

After a long walk, someone is very tired!

Careless Whisper? Nothing careless about it, Data. If anything it’s a focused whisper. Oh the SONG. I thought you meant me. I was whispering. Well, whisper-farting. Full disclosure, there wasn’t much of a whisper to it, if I’m being honest.

NHS England’s new corridor care guidance is a sign of just how far standards have fallen. A fully funded plan to eradicate the practice is needed, which must include: ☑️ investment in hospital beds ☑️ more nursing staff across acute & community settings ☑️ urgent action to boost social care capacity.

It's incredible this debate has even happened without seemingly a single mainstream British commentator noting that Scotland just made Scots and Gaelic official languages and *well over half* of Glaswegians speak Scots as their first language

The Hepatitis B vaccine was expected to prevent 9.5 million infections, 2.4 million chronic cases, and save 600,000 lives in the US by 2050. The federal vaccine committee has blood on their hands.

Interesting thing to take away here. BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded. And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

In spite of having my flu jab a few weeks ago, I’m now floored with what seems like flu. It’s very much not fun even with the flu jab.

My bit of Christmas joy every day in December is advent calendars for all - today is Apricot and honey jam for #jamvent and gingerbread chai from the Bird and blend calendar. Loiosh gets to join in with Christmas dinner treats in his advent calendar

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

Trip to Edinburgh this weekend with my mum and sister - mostly fun but with the added sadness that dementia brings along. Can see my mum drifting away each time I see her and it’s hard.

We should start calling these babies the Kennedy generation.

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. For shame, Mr Johnson and the team you pretended to lead. Preventable deaths on your hands. They will not return to us. You live on, rich and vainglorious. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🚨| Plans to double the Indefinite Leave to Remain qualifying period from five to 10 years will only deepen uncertainty and financial hardship for internationally educated nursing staff. Ministers must scrap these plans which will only worsen the staffing crisis and put patients at risk. ⬇️

This is a really interesting article about a horrifying distortion of sign language happening in the UK, and which its creators are now trying to export to other countries and their sign languages Learn actual sign languages from Deaf people, not from hearing people making their own weird versions!

It looks like people are doing their festive foraging this weekend, please survey my wares <3 totallyflagulous.etsy.com

These threats are grim, disgusting and unacceptable. They’re really common among anti-trans obsessives. Which is why they were banned so often from social networks. It wasn’t censorship, it was standards. Removing those rules has only emboldened hate: metro.co.uk/2025/11/08/d...

For local knitters/crafters, John Lewis is moving their haberdashery to a smaller corner of the back of the second floor but while they do that, you can’t buy things when the shop is open!

When big shops ask why they aren’t making sales, I would point to the local department store who are moving their haberdashery within store and have the entire section closed to sales during shop hours!

I’m amazed at the number and quality of folk who contributed to this podcast (a Doctor! 3 companions! Writers! Actors! Lost Episode Finders! Fans of Yore!) It’s just a bit of fun: a countdown of the most desired missing episodes of Doctor Who. Plus much arcana, natch: www.podbean.com/eas/pb-8epk3...

I am saving my unfinished #DoctorWho novel for another Wilderness Month.

Extremely important pupdate from the NYC dog costume competition.

People may not be familiar with Murray. He's a proper roaster in many ways but this was a highlight - going to jail for naming the female accusers in a sexual assault case who had legal anonymity, getting them subjected to wild abuse. Progressive! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021...

Every time someone complains about Southside train station names, we should rename another station. Shawlands becomes Pollokshaws North; Queens Park becomes Pollokshields South; Glasgow Central becomes Pollokshields North. https://www.glasgowbell.co.uk/pollok-southside-train-station-names/

At a local craft show today with my mum and the horrified sound that a woman made when she was told that the bag of 10 balls of Noro yarn cost £50 was just astounding. She was even more horrified to discover that the RRP for it was £100.

Amazing rainbow across Kelvinbridge today!

Incredibly minor point in the grand scheme of the horror of this policy, but this would mean that many women with ILR would be unable to go on maternity leave unless they had a very high salary or an amazing employer package.
