The Association for Palliative Medicine has produced a Myth Buster on assisted dying and the Terminally Ill Adults bill. The debate must be based on evidence, not soundbites and spin. It’s an essential tool for Peers, journalists and other commentators. apmonline.org/wp-content/upl…

“end agonising deaths” is so misleading (and irresponsible) it’s hard to know where to start. I have never come across a dying person whose pain couldn’t be improved. Never. Plus, if someone is in agony (ie awful care) if they opt for assisted dying they’ll still die in agony.

Tried to return a fitted sheet to #Dunelm today as it was smaller than the size of bed it was supposed to fit, but the store manager refused to accept it because it had been opened. How else was I supposed to find out that it was not the size it said on the packet...?

Please be mindful that older people with dementia might not mount a high temperature and “typical” symptoms of flu. An abrupt change of personality or behaviour might in fact be heralding a delirium. Be vigilant for this and seek professional help for advise. Thx.

On Monday the lift in my block broke & I'm trapped in my home (again). I contacted building management & they replied stating the repair was complex & expensive. They also very heavily implied this was my fault for not living on the ground floor.
