I had a mental health related “change of career” in 2024.
After applying for jobs and all the usual stuff I realised I would not be able to get a job anything like the one I used to do.
In August 2025 for some reason I can’t explain, I decided to become a gardener.
Today, a client who must be well into her 80s called Peggy burst into tears when she came out to look at progress.
She said, “it looks like it used to do when I could get about and do it myself.”
She was just delighted that she could now look out of her window and not feel ashamed. It meant the world to her.
Bloody love my new job!

Roughly 10 years ago, I had supper with a few friends & quite a large number of people I didn’t know, & one man brought his fiancée who suffered from severe coprolalia (a form of Tourette’s, where your brain makes you involuntarily blurt out inappropriate & offensive things.)
Over the course of the evening, she happened to shout out the most derogatory homophobic slurs one could imagine whenever I spoke.
Because I KNEW she had this condition she COULDN’T HELP having, there was ZERO offence taken & we all simply laughed it off.
Believe me, there was NO ONE more embarrassed, distressed & upset as SHE was, despite our efforts to reassure her.
Probably worth bearing in mind before mindlessly castigating someone for a condition that is already hell to live with…

Eighty-one years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army.
1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over.
Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.
