The latest @ONS figs on suicide show a jump in young female suicides..I want to to picture my lovely, kind, compassionate 16 year old daughter Manon when you think about those figures 💔 #ForManon #SuicidePreventionMonth

@Bookishcrick Looking for a book group recommendation (and order)… we loved Still Life!

Thank you for all your support, book buying and retweets today. It ALWAYS helps me feel less alone…I miss the old days of Twitter but it’s lovely to know there is a lovely community in this little corner still.

"When our genes were unable to store all the information necessary for our survival, we slowly invented the needed genes. But then there came a time, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when there arose a need to know more than it was convenient for our brains to hold. And so we learned to store vast quantities of information outside our bodies. We are the only species on the planet, at least as far as we know, that has invented a communal memory that is stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The place where this memory is kept is called a library. A book is made from a tree. You give it a single glance, and you hear the voice of a person who may have been dead for a thousand years. Across millennia, the author speaks, quietly and clearly, directly into your head, personally to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, for it binds together people who are citizens of different epochs and who have never known one another. Books break the shackles of time; they are proof that humanity is capable of magic." Carl Sagan,"Cosmos"

@billykayscot Love my Shark … an anti Dyson choice but has really impressed me

The sad news is that my hoover has reached the end of its days. The good news is it’s a Dyson so good riddance to any association with that charlatan. Any recommendations for a replacement though, peeps? January sales bargains welcome. Any make but Dyson please.

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

If you feel like giving up, please remember the reason why you held on for so long. It may take bravery for you to talk and to ask for help, but please do it. Please hold on and you will make it through. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #WSPD25 #SuicidePrevention
