Lost for words. So many messages. Well done to Mary. No amount of money can bring back loved ones but what a difference it has clearly made.
The Cash Register. Bloody hell.

One of our twins, Hollie (7 years old) receives jewellery from a boy in her class called Eddie. Ruth now in her third hour on WhatsApp to the P3 parents to identify his mother, seeing as it’s clearly very valuable, and has clearly been stolen by her son. Happy Valentine’s Day 💓

Genuine question. How did 40,000+ people get back from Hampden last night after the Calvin Harris concert? I didn’t go because it’s hard enough at the best of times and it makes me so angry that we live like this in 2022. An absolute joke.

Without getting into debate about different countries following different timelines and all the other issues...
This guy boosts my morale every single day of this pandemic. And that counts for a lot. Thank you, Professor.
We're still seeing no evidence of a 'second peak' in European countries that eased their lockdowns first.
Austria, Denmark, Norway eased their lockdowns around a month ago and cases are continuing to fall.
We need to move forwards with caution, but with confidence it can work.

This was Hollie & Rachel’s first night at home, eight weeks after birth. The care they received was worth maybe £500,000 by the time they’d left intensive care. No charge. Just two out of 60 million patients. Could never adequately describe our gratitude.
