@autcareandshare @csimichael Very true - it’s there , but the family have to know that they are entitled to it and also have to know how to claim it . In the case of adult offspring , so many of these payments remain unclaimed . Really hope you can help - with back dates payments also 👍

@csimichael Completely agree

I went to pick Ryan up from his daycentre and i got called into the office, there's a lady in there extremely upset, she's telling the manager that due to her sons social care fees increasing, he can no longer attend the daycentre as she now owes them a considerable amount of money and is being taken to court, I've helped a few parents in the past and the manager thought i might be able to help her , I asked the lady what disability related expenses she claims for her son , she said none, she didn't know she could claim any disability related expenses, more importantly when a financial assessment was done she wasn't told of any of the things she could claim for , so on Saturday she's popping around with all the financial assessments, and I'm going to go through all of them to to check that they are correct and hopefully help this lady.

@Lochlomonden I find myself staring at the marmalade jar lid , thinking ‘ just the toast , then’ . My son is in 4th yr product design and looking at devices for helping sufferers having watched me struggle with basic stuff - getting cards out of purse, turning keys etc.

@KateMac88786833 I’m sorry to hear that. I know the feeling well. My guitar and piano days are over.

Nightmare day of arthritis. It’s always lurking, but sometimes it springs, clamps its jaws around you and won’t let go. I’m sure anyone with the condition will unhappily testify to the veracity of this. I feel for you all.

Early shifts on a Sunday can be a bit of a drag but have their advantages…

@NiallHarbison Having ‘ a holiday ‘ is a difficult concept for a dedicated person . Instead, call it a ‘fact finding fortnight ‘ and travel elsewhere to investigate new vet approaches. Take notes but explore , relax , eat & sleep well. And get a business partner ! 🐕💚👍

I’ve been feeling very flat recently. Not tired or anxiety or depression that normally gets me down but just flat. Feeling meh. A sense of nothing if that makes sense. Despite everything going on at full throttle to help dogs I’m sort of on autopilot and feeling empty. I think it’s 2 things… 💜 Alba obviously. Like so many I really fell In love with her. I just miss really. Strange as I only knew her 2 weeks and I have dozens of other dogs to worry about and fix but sometimes dogs / people just hit different I guess. I’m doing lots in her honor and pushing myself hard to do stuff in her name but I’d love a little sunrise with her. 👀 The second one is harder to explain. I just feel everybody is looking for me. No matter what I do or where I go people want my time. Happy doggo. Tina’s hospital. Media. Publishing a book. People in cafes. Messages online. Emails. Dogs to be saved. Money needed. Favors. I can’t and won’t complain about that because I know I’m super privileged and I don’t want to sound like a a spoilt moaning brat. I know all this stuff is needed to help more dogs at scale and I’m more committed than ever. Sometimes I’d just love to be back helping 20 dogs on my moped when not one person knew me. I’ve posted a lot less here the last 2 weeks also. I’ve lots of great wins and happy things to post but when it comes to it I just can’t be bothered. What’s there to be so happy about I think when I go to post it. Even this post I deleted a couple of times. I don’t want to ever be miserable on here. I just wanted to be honest. Lots of great things happening and big progress but I guess I just feel a bit sad still about Alba. Big day with the dogs tomorrow will fix it. They are the best tonic. Have a lovely weekend Niall 💜

@wat_thee_deuce_ There’s another way ?

Who does this? 😊

@RevRichardColes Could there be a wee murder waiting to be written into this setting ?

You’d think there was volcanic activity afoot in Point tonight …..

@madebyfrankie Wonderful angles / shapes / colours . Looking forward to a few Jota ones 👍🍀As someone else said earlier , would make fantastic T shirts - calendars, notecards , key fobs also .

This season, I set myself a wee personal project aim of creating a match poster for each of Celtic's Champions League group stage games. Here they all are! 🍀

For Heather @littleramstudio, who brought so much light and joy to our lives with her art, and her uplifting and courageous posts. My heart goes out to her beloved Gary #ThankYouHeather etsy.com/uk/shop/little…

So very sad to hear the news about Heather of @littleramstudio this week. She brought so much joy to our feeds with her words, observations & art. As we hold Gary in our hearts, let’s share something inspired by her (etsy.com/shop/littler...) And say #ThankYouHeather.

@littleramstudio Admiring Heather’s truly beautiful, precise prints & reading her vivid descriptions of the morning sky - together they would make a powerful exhibition. She must have been a splendid partner to explore life and art with - much sympathy to you and the cats

Gary here, My sweet Heather died in the early hours of this morning. The Whisky is kicking in big time! This THING, this INFECTION, they don't know what it was? KILLED my lovely Heather. She couldn't move or speak to me, we just made eye contact. I want to die.

@JackTheLab3 The Hound Dogs

We have our album cover sorted. Now we need a name for our band. Suggestions below please 👇

@RosieDicken My two line up much the same way - with the death stare

Waiting for food, they remind me of the Twins in The Shining 😂😂😂

@CaomhanMacandra @JJKALE2 Just been listening to this too - from the Western Isles of Scotland . Hope all this interest and enthusiasm ( from all over the world ) can make it back down the line to help Marlene

@JJKALE2 Thanks for sharing this, I've just downloaded an album to listen to later. She's got another new fan in the Western Isles of Scotland!

🧵I saw an Aboriginal aunty busking in Newtown last night. She plays the saxophone & it was special. I listened for 20mins, dropped $50 into her case & said "You remind me of Marlene Cummings, the great blues & Jazz artist from way back." She looked up, crying: "I am Marlene."

@LadyHaywire Hope yourself and animals are safe

The wind right now is insane 😳

@fjchristie63 Every emotion in the last 24 hours - remembering the impact losing Kenny Dalglish had in 1977, my sister Frances was devastated. My son just texted me saying Kyogo has been there since he started going to games as a student 🍀🥲That’s Celtic for you !

What a night 🍀🇮🇪

@conceptcanvases You did him proud, Chris 🍀🍀 So very sad to lose him but glad , too, that we did have him in our team . You’ve captured his spirit so well 🥲

@NiallHarbison You gave that dear hound 12 cherished days of peace, dignity and love , eclipsing the horror of earlier days. That’s what you do for all the dogs - mending their minds and setting them free. Alba will always be walking towards the light with yourself & Hank.

You keep yourself busy and distracted but then some days it just catches you. Opened my phone to look back at some photos 💜 (1/5) 🧵
