- For a near 13yr old girl enjoying the summer I turned pretty by Jenny Han books. So much so she is reading after school which has never happened. Any other 'real life' type book recs? ie not fantasy. You know what I mean!
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction. I hate it! Any one been there and settled? Any tips? Having physio but feels worse.
- It's Sunday evening and the loveliest moon. Whatever the week holds go forward with a spring in your step and the belief that anything is possible.
- My heart sinks with each ambulance called out. Thankfully no broken bones. Thankfully no hospital conveyance. Thankfully care home staff confident in care. Thankfully HCP and us as a family all on same page. But that's taken a lot of doing. Inside knowledge has definitely helped.
- Feeling spookily calm and bit guilty somehow. Dad's GP practice sorted out advanced care plan this week. Care home manager triggered fast track. Mums doing okay, quite tired as been 2 calls to ambulance services in last week for falls. Just bought a CD player/CDs to send direct for mum for Dad.
- Pleased to hear this. Well done to the parent who picked this up and the Guardian for running the story. Shame on Hobbycraft for delaying recall beyond a moment. And heart goes out to worried parents and exposed children. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
- FYI @gerisoc.bsky.social @age-and-ageing.bsky.social have paused posting on X indefinitely. They remain active on LinkedIn. Gerisoc is also on Facebook.
- The right move from @rcphysicians.bsky.social other organisations and people would do well to do likewise. www.rcp.ac.uk/news-and-med...
