HOW ABOUT JUST POSTING WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING TO SAY DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT??

Hahaha I saw that and immediately thought how tragic 😂

Not read this but I already know I ABSOLUTELY AGREE! No I don't want to take my eyes off the road for several long moments while I try to distinguish which of the identical silver squares in an array of 10 redirects the fan onto the windscreen, and which will tell me the tyre pressures.

An energy efficiency expert looks at the Tory claims scrapping the Future Homes Standard would knock £50k off the price of a new home and concludes they are utter nonsense. www.businessgreen.com/opinion/4536...

They want you to use the app innit. (Last little tech update I got my Mum to grasp before her stroke :( )

How is this kind of shit still happening in 2026?

Bloody hell that's a glorious view!

Well that's one obvious use for it! (Though I am aware of it being a store for mucky things too. The farmhouse's second freezer that's just used for dog meat, kind of thing. Definitely not salubrious anyway!)

Ooh that's the WRONG word. An outhouse is attached to the main house but possibly open/unglazed, definitely unheated, and accessed from outside. Won't be taking questions etc.

Looked at that picture and could instantly taste smarties! Amazing! 😋

Hey being 70 isn't old. Better not be, anyway - as it's awfully close at hand!

So glad your LO was OK though 👍👍

Will find out later if my dodgy spot too. Lose to the zebra crossing attracts a fine... And to be honest if it does, fuck it. Really the least of my worries at the moment....

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Aaugh that's awful 😠😠. Here the main issue so far has been actually finding a space - matter of sheer luck as you join the stately procession of cars playing musical spaces. Car Park A - no spaces, Car Park B, no spaces, meter parking, no spaces, maybe I can squeeze in there?

Wondering if AI was trained on hospital food 🤔. Would explain a lot.

Really wish I could attend to hear this - life has got in the way, but the whole day promises to be excellent.

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

And to clarify once again, I am absolutely not blaming the staff here for any of this. They are incredible people, and so kind.

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Not great is it? Not helped by needing to be extra-easy to swallow, but still. Thank goodness for yoghurt and nutrisip 😬

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

On the upside, each mouthful of the the gourmet pure grease jus is packed with the essential calories a malnourished patient needs. On the downside, they only ate two tiny mouthfuls before giving up

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

And the same person told me they had stepped in to coax at breakfast time 🙏🙏🙏

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Thank you so much Mike. One of the support staff just thanked *me* for being here and agh in the nicest way it's doing me in a bit <sniff> 🥹

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Well perhaps I am influencing the results as someone has just been by and they have been keeping track of food intake today...so it's not fully overlooked? And I won't deny it's time-consuming.

131

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

(tbf of course the presence of the observer might well be influencing the results - I don't know what would happen if I wasn't here, as the other patients are all feeding themselves.)

210

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

No problem to set up a drip, but to pay someone to sit with them and encourage like, drinking a drink- seemingly can't be done.

111

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

The oft noted point that no-one actually feeds elderly patients is sadly my experience here too. Basically sitting here all day to catch beloved relative between dozes to coax in a bit of yoghurt or fortisip.

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Also - hospital parking FML 😫😡😫

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Hasten to add it's not me stuck in here - but as it's someone I love, it's just as bad 😞

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Also why are hospital beds designed so that if your chest infection means you are too weak to get into a chair, you have to eat half-reclining (despite about 5 pillows) risking aspiration of food and general further coughing?

101

Kate de Selincourt @katedes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Insane beeping of faulty iv machines 😭😖 imagine being stuck in here if you struggle with noise (I do a bit but I know it's harder for many)

Hit a milestone with my home MVHR install, it's far from finished but I've got it switched on with 50% of rooms connected! It's amazing the effect it's has on Co2 in our bedroom 📉

Strava has an option to excuse your feeble time with the tag "with kid". Or in my case, to explain how come I went considerably faster than is comfortable, and maxxed out the power assist on the bike....

"customer delight associate" -seriously??? 🤣🤣 (Though actually it makes it sound as though they work somewhere less respectable than a florist, which makes it even worse 😭)
