Went to Disneyland Paris last week with our kids & my mum. It was proper magical & wonderful. & EXHAUSTING. We walked so far, full of adrenaline & caffeine. Came home with this giant mug- summarises my week back in the real world!

& yes, I'm in my house coat, just like Tigger 😂

Beautiful connection today between my 6 yr old son & my 88 yr old grandad. Finally finding common ground so they wanted to spend time together, & were both saying 'what about one more game?' 😆🥰

22 games of Uno later...!!

Exciting!!

Hi all, I'm looking for a Dr (possibly a GP?) to write 300ish words on how to deal with/grieve the death of a patient, where the patient is someone you've had a professional relationship with for some time. Anyone interested? Shortish deadline 😬 Please email me [email protected]

But not in Scotland. Could assume this guy only speaks for England...

The assisted dying Scotland proposals:
No intention to invest further in,
or increase availability of,
palliative care
[Policy Memorandum para 63, p17)

So in Scotland you'll be able to get an assisted death because of a lack of specialist palliative care

Happy Easter! Beautiful celebrations at HolyTrinity Stirling this morning 🌄

Recycling old uni work &all the prep I did for the clinical psychology interviews. It's like another life.

Pages of stats notes, mind map after mind map on papers I read & memorised.

I'm glad I made the choice not to pursue that life, but still, it's kinda sad. Was it a waste?

Know better, do better.

There's a debate about mini eggs & kids on FB atm. Just bc you ate them & didn't choke doesn't mean you can laugh at ppl doing differently.

Safe sleep.
Car seats.
Seat belts.
Xray machine in shoe shops.
Lead pipes.

There's a reason advice changes.

I didn't know the full extent of what went on with the miners strike at Polmaise. This is a powerful watch- determination, organisation, community. Qualities still present in the strong village of Fallin. A history that can't be forgotten.

3 months of doing a #MinimalistChallenge alongside my mum. I've got rid of 1300 things & I feel lighter & more in control. Every job feels quicker. She's got rid of 1432 things. Egging each other on & occasionally swapping items too. We're still very far from being minimal tho 😂

Snares BANNED , grouse shooting , muirburn and wildlife traps LICENSED , powers for Scottish SPCA 🐾 INCREASED . . .

The Wildlife Management & Muirburn Bill has now passed in Scotland – congratulations to all who campaigned for this historic moment 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is an incredible podcast in its own right; and this particular interview with Anthony Morrow is superb- brimming with perils of practical wisdom about community learning and development; the housing sector; trauma-informed practice; #ABCD and much much more

Hello, death talk community, I have news:
The delightful colin murray & I will be in live conversation on BBC Radio 5 Live 3-4pm BST Friday 5th April.
I'll be answering listeners' questions about ordinary dying, tender conversations & being prepared.
We'd like some questions now:⬇️

I love it when you meet someone & sparks fly as connections are made & new ways of thinking emerge.

None stop talking, followed by reflective silence.

The magic of relationship building. Can't beat it!

This is a great space - spent a wonderful morning there the other week discovering what’s happening and connecting 😊

Isn't it amazing what can happen when you provide space and a free cuppa? Connection, friendship, positivity & a feeling of value all rippling out from these sofas!
