Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Oh man! I'd love to meet Mighty @simonbrew.bsky.social myself in Newcastle next week but unfortunately can't do that date. But if you want to see the nicest man I've never met, here's your chance with @filmstories.bsky.social 000
Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Anyway, I'm going back to my rewatch of The Mentalist, when actors had normal faces with actual expressions and looked damned cute doing it.static.klipy.comThe Mentalist: Patrick Jane & Teresa Lisbon CasalAlt: The Mentalist: Patrick Jane & Teresa Lisbon Casal 050
Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 23/09/2026And another monumental NHS cockup. They'd cancelled his appointment but hadn't told us, so tried to get us to leave. I refused. Pointed out we'd been told of his brain injury by rheumatology and constantly kicked into the long grass by the Memory Clinic. Suddenly they found a consultant and a nurse 350
Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Morning Skyfolk. Not a good one though, P's memory clinic appointment finally happens this morning. Aka, how bad is it all, and how bad is it going to get, and will you just do the extra tests needed without turning everything into a massive battle please? 12130
Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Some kind soul bought a copy of my print book, The Repository of Lost Souls last month. My royalties were a whole 6p. It used to be around £2. Quite a difference! But thanks to whoever stepped inside its pages 📚 160
Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Morning Skyfolk. Jack wants you to know he’s had breakfast, stamped all over me to clean a yogurt pot out, destroyed a toilet roll tube and is now insisting that we have a nana nap. 😴 1120
Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The James Whale show was a huge part of my teenage viewing with friends.

Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Morning Skyfolk. Been hit with a cold and my word, I'm feeling sorry for myself! My tachycardia is bonkers, has been all night. Still, it'll be over soon.

Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Oh my word! I've actually stayed in this house, Glengorm Castle. It's wonderful.

Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Anyhow, I'm still starting a 6 week correspondence course in writing tomorrow, and I still haven't done any planning, and I still think that's probably for the best.

Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Still awake. Have been formulating questions for P's visit to the memory clinic next week, plus a complaint script for when they (inevitably) refuse to do the additional tests rheumatology has requested, making it clear that I consider the department neglectful and will be formally complaining. 180

Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Morning Skyfolk. Chimney sweep is in action with various noisy implements. My tote bag is full of errands to run once he's done. Suddenly realised I start a new writing course this Thursday. Have done zero prep, but maybe that's how it's meant to be! Have a good Monday, and here's some trees. 270

Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It will come as no surprise that I just cried all over the nurse. She was wonderful. Can’t believe what happened at the hospital about Paul’s brain injury. Is activating the good gp to push his next referral through. And chasing Adult Social Care. I am also allowed to keep seeing her. 2150
Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Anyway, I'm sure tomorrow I'll be my usual dog picture posting self. If I can actually walk after physical therapy this afternoon. 010
Jane @gingercrone.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Morning Skyfolk. Today I get to tell the long suffering mental health nurse that, yes, things have gotten crapper over the past month, and no, I still don't believe I have any future of any merit other than in constant service to shite until I die. Which will hopefully be soon. Poor lass. 670
