Yay, Andy Burnham has finally addressed the big bogey that is Social Care. But he needs to look at everyone, not just the over 65 year olds...

I've been out & taken some clutter to the tip😊 Opposite the speed camera, a fella in white shorts backed out of a hedge, zipped up & drove away. He was less than 2 miles from 3 supermarkets, (Aldi, Tesco & Waitrose) all have toilets & wash-hand basins for customers to use. Why water the hedge?🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

Yesterday I learnt that not everyone sneezes when the sun suddenly shines on them. What do you mean??? Basically, because the optic and nasal nerves are so close together, they can get mixed up and apparently it only affects 18-35% of people. Hilariously, it's legit called ACHOO syndrome
