Susie never misses.
Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

I'm gonna explain to y'all why Britain considers 78°F/25°C hot. I know hot because I grew up in Texas and spent half my life in Las Vegas. So I am absolutely qualified to explain this to the rest of you who laugh at UK "heat waves".

The best place to relax is near water. After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass. Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

“What this Conservative government is doing to our NHS is nothing short of scandalous. They have left health services shockingly underfunded and it is patients who are bearing the brunt of their neglect.”
“Existing [government spending] plans entail real-terms cuts of around 1.2% in [NHS] day-to-day spending [in 2024/25] – the largest reduction since the 1970s” “A real-terms reduction in health spending would require some combination of reductions”

If a property developer is allowed to demolish most of Station Street (including The Electric) and replace it with a block of flats, then that's quite simply cultural vandalism.

Prof Tom Kitwood found that the way we talk about people living with dementia soon manifests itself in the way we treat people living with dementia, both positive & negative. I’ve always thought terms like ‘challenging behaviour’, ‘BPSD’, ‘aggressive’ tell us nothing useful &

Having joy, fun & meaning comes with potential risks to us all. It’s our job to assess, manage & creatively enable people to truly enjoy their lives. I wonder how many people living with dementia in care homes got to feel & see the snow today? 🤔❄️☃️🌨️🎿⛷️🗻
