Having a brother with a disability undoubtedly influenced my approach to working as a doctor. Here’s my @bmj.com piece on scary hospitals, who aren’t good at looking after people with this sort of issue. #NationalSiblingsDay #DuchenneMuscularDystrophy #MedSky blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2018/03/...

BBC 2 ‘Covers in The Piano Room’ .. 1.5 hours of incredible song choices .. plus the BBC concert orchestra ..

Watched the first two eps of ‘Flowers in the Attic’ The Origin (Ch 5) … Crikey is all I can say .. 🙀🙀😱😱 Early and mid twentieth century, American misogyny and coercive control to excess, by the author, V. Andrews in this family saga.

Put up by Katy Brand today - this is the story over and over again

Fascinating piece about Barnes Old Cemetery. Murder, David Attenborough and forgotten graves. I lived in Barnes as a child and have only happy memories of my formative years there … till it all went horribly wrong!! flickeringlamps.com/2014/08/15/b...

A cute picture, but a worrying story. H5N1 (first case) reported in a sheep in Yorkshire. Snippet from this month’s @bmj.com. #MedSky

Just completed an electricity switch. Cheapest I could find as suggested by Martin Lewis, is British Gas …

“Mrs Harris Goes to Paris” is on ch 4 at 9.15. If you haven’t seen it, please watch, it’s utterly delightful ..

I’ve been selling, and buying, on Vinted for quite a while More and more people are reporting scammers are at work, substituting goods received for damaged items etc and demanding a refund It seems to be a big problem so I think I shall cease to sell! @Vinted

Just received a missed call from 1282 501942 plus this text … I called the number back and woman said my Tesco SIM card was going to be blocked unless I paid….la la la…. Soon stopped her when I said I’m not with Tesco Mobile… bloody scammers #TescoMobile @tescomobile

This:

Daily Mail cut out and keep guide to what your kids are texting about. Possibly also handy for decoding super secret war planning group chat

It says it’s from Surrey Police.. 👮 it needs more info!

A pair of beautiful Black Oil beetles (Meloe proscarabaeus) seen this morning at Talland Bay, Cornwall I've seen Violet Oil #beetles before, but not Black... so these two made my day. With thanks to @johnwalterswildife.bsky.social (who is SO worth a follow) for ID confirmation #coleoptera 🌿

I love my brush so much I cuddle it #springerspaniel

🐈 Saba our Maine Coon feline is a gentle giant. She is drawn to laundered linens. And that noise you hear is her chirp of love. Notice also the evidence of her purring (chest moving rapidly).❤️ #mainecooncats #mainecoon #cat #cats #pet #pets #catsofbluesky #bluecats

The prevalence of Hepatitis C is falling in England. Nice to read some good news in my @bmj.com today. #MedSky

In the @bmj.com, more on the Lucy Letby case. I can’t help but think there is no possible happy ending to this story. The layers of complexity are so many and so awful. #MedSky #LucyLetby

Buddies… for five minutes! #cats #dogs #springerspaniel

Boris having a wee snooze. He is coping with his diabetes very well. He’s in an oral medication once a day and although still hungry, he’s not so outrageously ravenous… he’s gained about a kilo in the last few weeks too. #cats #diabetes

Surprising as pouches of cat food are sugar loaded to get the cat to demand more …

Alan Sugar, "Brexit was a total absolute disaster, and anybody who says it's not is deluded" Amol Rajan, "What do you think it would take to get this country growing again?" Alan Sugar, "Go back into the European Union"

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

My girls. Hattie the flat coated retriever and Edith the English Springer Spaniel. Edith looking very much like Elle McPherson apparently 🥰

These sunny days are all very well, but, the cold breeze means the house soon gets beyond cold. Butter from the fridge spreads more easily than the butter dish contents on the worktop … utter madness 🥶🥶
