@lizoriordan.bsky.social Nice to hear you on BBCSaturdayLive. I must listen to the rest on Sounds, as I drove out of signal!

It's intellectual challenge, I'm missing, I've decided. Volunteered on a board/similar: too much stress. Learn a new language? Nah Study? Maybe? What? Genealogy? Nah. I don't want to craft. Run a half marathon? Nah. Considered a cookery class, but ££ & too far away. Any suggestions?

Sitting on hands (& tongue) whilst OH makes arrangements to alter a date. He's definitely in an obtuse mood.

@thebrokenspine.co.uk My poetry muse has left the room: Will it emerge from Winter's gloom? The sharp taste of Reality Provokes the Banality But still the words fail To leave the pail.

OH is 'coming to terms' with a chronic health condition. He's never taken meds, but now has to. Life in stasis till a 📞 convo with nhs team. My stress levels are being rested by response times & a cessation in 'normal service' at home. Missing my routine over festive season.

Having felt unwell for a week, this morning came with a bit of energy. Sunday dinner, Monday lunch & tea, Tuesday lunch + homemade soup all prepared. Away for Xmas, so feel a bit absolved.

Some 'were less affected' by the change.. 6 (years) x £10k is not equal to a £2.5k payout. So on that basis. I took early retirement due to ill-health, so my capacity to recoup the difference was severely diminished.

SCIE’s Chief Executive, Kathryn Marsden OBE, has written to The Guardian about the role of social care in relieving the growing pressure on hospitals. Kathryn stressed that NHS reform will only succeed if health and social care are treated as equal partners.

I'm so not used to people 'en masse'. Mamon in full flow. Feeling quite overwhelmed by the lights, heat, busy-ness.
