I’m a well informed patient, I get similar comments. When my Mum was in hospital I pointed out she was clutching her appendix (lower right) in agony, not her gallbladder (upper right). It turned out to be … appendicitis.

Haha I did pick one where they didn’t drop it 🏉, but I’d imagine getting that much spin on a baby would be difficult. 😆 #TheArchers

Amber wants to call the baby something different … Billy-Jo Grundy? Giuseppe? They really aren’t enough Eddie / Eds derivatives in the Grundy family so maybe Teddy? #TheArchers

Think more “fly-by” with the fly tipping one… Decent logic, but no cigar.

Thank you for this, I have a person in my work team with ADHD. Your info might help me articulate some new questions about motivation at work (other than earning money for food and shelter ofc). If feedback loops help, we can do more of that.

Oh no! I once left one bag of shopping at the till (after I’d paid for it). Got very confused when I got home because no cheese. Went back, someone had walked off with it in their shopping…

Unusual or eye catching #rock formations in Northumberland.
Flat sedimentary rock sticking out of the sea. The sea is wearing the layers away as it flows over the rockAmazing FOLDED rock sticking out of the sea. It looks like a car crash happened cratering folds, but it is made of rock. Folded butter yellow layered rock which has broken into chunks on the right hand side.

Walked from Barnard Castle to Seahouses today. Four hours, great weather. My phone is insisting we walked from Bernard to Seahorses….

Hi Mary We were at Seahouses in Northumbria this morning and the coffee trailer in the harbour car park has a “pay it forward” token jar to buy RNLI volunteers a coffee and a treat. I bought two tokens so one can be on your behalf. We also made a donation at the Seahouses #RNLI station.

Too many Amber related actors in George’s storyline for that? It’s Kirsty we might be concerned about. Kirsty’s partner MIA. Keira lined up for a job at rewilding. Rex a perm fixture with Alice... #TheArchers

Oh that’s so tough with the sweet things. If build up is in cartons, take similar cartons of juice for yourself and try “mirroring” (you drinking yours leading by example). You are doing a good job, I know it is very hard. xx

When they are walking around lots it is hard to keep calories up. The home will be fortifying dinners, but it’s hard when the hunger sensation is no longer understood. Our relative (similar circs) could be tempted by treats like Tunnock’s tea cakes (nothing dry like shortbread tho). I feel for you x

I did a tights audit last weekend! Bobbly ones all gone, and the awful ones which dug into my waist too. Happy to see the white stuff ones I bought on offer in the late spring ready to be worn.

My Nan definitely waited for us all to leave. When my Mum got home 11pm hospital rang to say she’d gone. My Mum and Dad decided to let us all get some sleep, and called us in the morning. Poor Anna 😢 #TheArchers

My Nan broke her leg, the rehab home was FUN! The staff were really engaged / supportive with getting people ready to go home. I recall seeing a circle of older ladies recovering from broken arms/wrists playing seated-catch with a balloon, being encouraged to lift their arms up. #TheArchers
