Ots not something you see everyday.

Here's telling you..

SCIE’s Chief Executive, Kathryn Marsden OBE, has written to The Guardian about the role of social care in relieving the growing pressure on hospitals. Kathryn stressed that NHS reform will only succeed if health and social care are treated as equal partners.

US sliding towards 1930s-style autocracy, warns Ray Dalio. Neoliberalism blames minorities for problems, not corporate capitalism, inequalities, concentration of wealth or political corruption In Farage, the UK has a Trump clone who will deprive people of human and workers rights. archive.ph/xUeJ8

Confuzzled by sun going round via north.. can't get my bearings. OH says don't bother, but it's discombobulating

Surreal.. after the storm listening to a kookaburra, magpies, and other nameless birds.

I'm so not used to people 'en masse'. Mamon in full flow. Feeling quite overwhelmed by the lights, heat, busy-ness.

Bad night, then piling on the stress this AM doing itinerary checks with OH. Next time it's all-inclusive, & someone else can organise.

The walk up from our gate gives the reward of distant Dartmoor.

OH living experientially. Return trip to our local independent show garden.

Grrr. What is it with commitment? A small group of individuals trying to manage a charity, with % making themselves unavailable for tonight's meeting.

#LiveAid40 I remember exactly where I was my (then) OH was working at a school in Maltmans Green, so I sat on my own watching it..

We lit a candle for a dear friend who is grieving and in agony. Beautiful cathedral finished in 1910, but seems older. @trurocathedral.bsky.social

OH & I went to 'opera buffa' tonight. Met a local family (gatecrashed their table), watched La Traviata. #Dusk #ParkHouseOpera #DuchyOpera #OperaVirgin #Cornwall

That's all folks. After 45+ years of @thercot.bsky.social membership, I've stepped away. No point: don't need indemnity, nothing focussed for #RetiredMembers, although we engaged, discussed & tried our damnednest.

Even on a dull day, we visit gardens.

Welfare U-turn makes spending decisions harder, UK minister says. Why scapegoat the old, sick, poor, disabled? Not taxing the rich is a political choice. There is money for corporate welfare, crony contacts, foreign wars. Since 2010 HMRC failed to collect £500bn of tax.

Personally I don't like watching #Tennis. So it's a win/win (not) on BBC.

Imagine if the energy expended on countering and misunderstanding each other could be brought together in noticing, really listening, caring to understand where we're each coming from, and being just a little bit more generous in each of our interactions.
