Just started watching ,"The Traitors." Totally addictive and pandering to your most base instinct. Can't wait for the next instalment.

Met a delightful group of students at @UCLan this morning. Informed, patient-centred, empathic, enthusiastic. I had to hr feeling @EoLC was very safe in their hands.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. They mean more than you can imagine. Spent some time wondering what he would have been doing if he was still with us. Gave up. He would have surprised us!

Today we should be celebrating Neil's 49th birthday. But Neil is and always will be 35. Today he will be mentioned at a conference supporting carers. He goes on making a difference, and we miss him every day. Live from mum and dad.

I’m asking those who love the outdoors to post a picture. A picture that YOU took. Just a picture. No description. The goal is to regain peace harmony without negativity. Please copy the text, put a picture on YOUR page, and let's look at these beautiful pictures. Here's mine.

Our tribute to Dorothy Carruthers, who knitted our mascot, Jacob Mac. The Courtyards was her last home and she would have been delighted at this coffee morning.

I am remembering with some surprise that I was in Beaumont Isolation Hospital near Morecambe being treated for Scarlet Fever when I heard of Elizabeth 11 accession. And I saw George V1 at Lancaster Castle.

Woke feeling good for the first time in a month. Have now accumulated 6 different consultants so hope it continues.

Just watched the first men's football match of the season. Shirt pulling, grabbing your opponent, disputing decisions, crowd violence. Bring back the women.
