Today, on #WorldBookDay, let’s help people living with #dementia to maintain their love of reading www.cognitivebooks.co.uk

It’s her birthday today. She’s really excited as you can tell

Smidge is relaxed this #Caturday, oblivious to the outside world…

For #caturday, Smidge is releasing her first solo album entitled “9:30” 🐱.

Cone of Shame this #Caturday. Lots of banging into things for Smidge…

Finally listened this morning. Great stuff, again. Going over the publications of yesteryear with the context of hindsight almost makes this like a @theresthistory.bsky.social for @suedehq.bsky.social nerds (and general 90s music enthusiasts)

Smidge and I enjoying our #Caturday

Smidge refuses to let me work this morning

For no apparent reason, 3 x videos of #Suede @suedehq.bsky.social performing Animal Nitrate live. 🧵 Starting with Ally Pally last summer…

One of my favourite vids!

Final ONS weekly deaths data for 2024 was released this morning. 563,762 deaths registered in the year. For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, the number of deaths is consistent with the 2010-19 trend. Look out for analysis and press commentary from the CMI this afternoon.

For our first post, we’re sharing @mattsingleton.bsky.social’s appearance on BBC Breakfast back in April 2024. The star of the show is Matt’s dad, Brian, who has been living with #dementia since 2017 but can recite some of his Cognitive Book from memory! youtu.be/Ur7AaH_4n0M?...

Have been looking for something profound to post as my first. I’ve given up and will just post a pic of my #cat (Smidge) peaking out of a box. My interests are #dementia, #ageing, football (#soccer, not American, bluesky … esp #Arsenal) and music (esp #Beatles and #Suede)
