My husband was a huge fan of the Shardlake series. He bought me the full set..which I’ve still to read. That’s my reading list sorted for summer.

Only a hospital rheumatology clinic, would give 9am appointments, tell you on the letter to allow plenty of time, then lock the door until 9am, meaning people who mostly will be in pain having to stand for over 20 mins as all the staff go in. Care? Compassion? @Leic_hospital
My brother @Bonnie_Montrose is home - not without a Covid scare in the ward (we’ve clearly learned hee-haw about air borne viruses). We’re all testing - likely we’ve all been exposed (FFS). Taking his beloved floofs to be rehomed on Friday. Been a long (almost) 3 months.
We had to produce a massive ring binder full of medical evidence. DWP and ATOS still f*cked up and put us through hell with an unnecessary, two hour face to face, in our home; a huge application form, and stress beyond imagining. PIP is brutal. F*cking brutal.

My PIP goes on my care and my van. I end up with £3 a week. It ENABLES ME TO WORK!
Andy Street seems decent…..the situation in Teeside less so (listen to @RestIsPolitics )…if Teeside votes for the Tories, there is no hope.

Not been the best day. Missing my D, his hugs. Miss this face. Knackered. #widowhood
Another day to miss my boy as Scot Pol goes into meltdown. #widowhood We would have been discussing what happened, no doubt. And I have no doubt that D would have been so very grateful to @HumzaYousaf for his kindness. I will be eternally grateful.
Where do I even start with this?
If Local Authorities find themselves asking exhausted carers/family members to comply with copious audits, ‘provide evidence’ including receipts for things like taxis home & McDonalds milkshakes, that isn’t personalisation, it’s intimidation & oppression. #servantsnotmasters
Going in on Humza Yousaf & Scottish politics at 10am. Could use some help...
Me as I watch the unfolding situation in Scottish politics..
When the Prime Minister has a shrivelled prune where his heart should be; Labour are trying to out-Tory the Tories & the current crap show in Scotland and it’s no wonder people have no faith in politics.

Well, that return home lasted for less than 24 hours. Martin is being admitted again. I guess that it might have happened even if Hospital at Home had been set up, but we’ll never know. I reckon he shouldn’t have been discharged in the first place. 😡

Only a hospital rheumatology clinic, would give 9am appointments, tell you on the letter to allow plenty of time, then lock the door until 9am, meaning people who mostly will be in pain having to stand for over 20 mins as all the staff go in. Care? Compassion? @Leic_hospital
@Carer49 I'm so sorry 😔 PIP applications are utterly horrendous. Solidarity to you and everyone else going through them. Sent me to brink every time I've had to do it.
Peeps of a certain age.. Who remembers these .. the candy striped brushed cotton sheets of the 60/70’s.. My nanny had them and I loved them .. So soft and comfy .. Weren’t they the best sheets in the world ..? Topped off with a candle wick bedspread to keep you toasty and warm ♥️
Woo hoo! And I’m back on the ward. Toast and coffee coming soon.
I wonder if the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers should also be paid in vouchers. After all they too are paid directly from public expenditure.
The thing about PIP reform, unlike unemployment benefit reform, is that it’s not universally popular among Tory MPs who devote a lot of constituency office time to supporting people with applications & appeals. Be interesting to know how united the party is over these ‘proposals’
My PIP goes on my care and my van. I end up with £3 a week. It ENABLES ME TO WORK!
