#TheArchers I am in my late 80s. Luckily, I do not live alone but when I am away from my husband Even in another room or the garden I carry my iPhone with me in my pocket. It is set up with one or 2 apps that I use and has emergency contacts. It has no elderly connotations. Why not get one 4 Carol?

Hey @gojauntly.bsky.social just created 8 new step-free walking routes along the Thames Path in London. All accessible. All free. Thames Path collection: ‘Fresh Air, Flat Paths & Thames Views’ on the Go Jauntly app. walks.gojauntly.com/collections/...

Brine - do not go for a walk up Licky Hill if Adam invites you for a walk & a chat! #TheArchers share.google/hhjQPXhkb3fM...

If someone could come up with a repeat flowering #peony, they would make a fortune

I’m getting the #RSV vaccine tomorrow. The NHS has extended it to the over 75s. I know that I am highly unlikely to get Guillain-Barré syndrome but still a bit apprehensive

Recently had #WhoopingCough as an adult. It is nasty and frightening. Would be horrible for a baby or young child. Get them vaccinated

It was very cloudy this morning at sunrise so this was taken about an hour afterwards as the clouds dispersed. Photograph taken on Glastonbury Tor.

I really don’t get why #KeirStarmer is so unpopular. At the GE he was considered a safe pair of hands. Does media hostility date back to his time as DPP? He’s made some mistakes, especially over Winter fuel Allowance but why the hatred? What has the poor man done? I’m not a Labour member btw

#AndyBurnham A warning from the past. #HaroldWilson appointed #GordonWalker as Foreign Secretary in spite of his not being an MP. He’d lost his seat in the 1964 GE. A safe seat was found for him & a by-election was held. He lost. Voters dislike that sort of thing. New Reform MP plus Reform Mayor?

Just read an article about #Polio #Vaccination. By 1957 American cases had fallen from 58000 to 5600, by 1961 to 161. Few vaccine sceptics in those days

If #Farage had to face a By-election would he be reelected? Has he done anything for his constituents?

Congratulations to the witty & smutty winners of the last #GirlsOwnCC 🥇 @herodotuspenguin.bsky.social 🥈 @phlogginganorse.bsky.social 🥉 @libmoggy.bsky.social 4th @artbookreview.bsky.social plus not sure whether to give @reynardo.bsky.social a 🥉 and/or a highly commended for ❤️ comment on a caption

The Tories record 2010-2024, austerity, NHS underfunded and understaffed, 40 new hospitals didn't materialise, selling magistrate courts, 7 prisons closed leading to overcrowding, loss of 20,000 police officers, outsourcing probabation service, education, one word Gove, Covid mistakes, PPE scandal

In the next #GeneralElection we will all have to vote tactically. I remember in 1997 there was a way to swap votes. I swapped my #LibDem vote with a #Labour supporter. His vote helped the LibDem to win.

Did anyone else’s father have a #last for repairing shoes? We actually have the one belonging to my father-in-law in our garage. When you got new shoes, my father would glue robber soles and heels to the bottom of them.

Iran War is bad news for people but a profit opportunity for corporations. Some of the companies profiteering: Oil and Gas Companies. Banks- speculating on commodities/food, driving up prices. Arms companies - selling weapons of mass destruction. Renewable energy - driving up prices.

So what has happened? Rightwing press? Failing education? Foreign influences? Working class resentment? I’m Lib Dem but think that the government is doing a reasonable job and #Starmer is a safe pair of hands. Why the personal hostility towards a decent man?

A good question for all Europeans to ponder at some stage during five weeks of paid holiday

In an interesting online @socialpolicyuk.bsky.social roundtable about the UK Government and UNSURPRISINGLY the key vibe is "doing good things but is hopeless at communicating it and doesn't have a strong overarching narrative or vision"

To all the 16 year olds starting their #GCSEs You have all worked hard and I wish you success

Grandchild starting #GCSEs #SummerBorn. Turns 16 this week. Some in class almost a year older. Very unfair

I’m always struck by the way that some people casually advocate transferring sovereignty of territories to other countries, ignoring the fact that the inhabitants might have an opinion about it.

I hard no idea that #Elopement to #Scotland for Americans was a thing. Several companies do it. Certainly shows enterprise especially as an elopement sounds more romantic than a boring old wedding
