In town for some shopping (long story) & just by the bus stop to return was #Pep&Fodder. So for #OldTimesSake I went in for a #FlatWhite @mrhyde

@athain @NHS_Education @NESKnowledge Congrats Annette! Always was a pleasure to be in working company with you! Enjoy yr retirement - #WellEarned #NewStart

Today I retire after 20 years working in @NHS_Education and 40 years working in NHS libraries @NESKnowledge. It has been a privilege to support health and care staff access the #evidence and learning they need. I like the message on this poster from 2008 still relevant today

A trip into town on the 26 bus shd be such a mundane journey. But it isn’t, as I haven’t been for simply ages (can’t remember when the last one was) and am wholly out of practice

Attending a launch event - a #symposium, no less! - for this book, next Tues. Thx #ToppingsBookshop

Have been trying to reauthorise Echofon for Twitter for some days, but still getting a msg about an internal Twitter server error - anyone else similarly stuck?

@elin_f_jones Thank you *so much* for creating this; I am looking out at the sea as I type, also your narrative evokes vivid memories of touching upon related issues in my working time (tho in the NHS/care/peer-support worlds!)

@EllaRove @EarlofSteve Thanks K; really Good Luck with your next Adventure. Thoroughly appreciate the mix of emotions likely involved (nothing is ever alone or the other!). You will be brilliant!!

@EllaRove @EarlofSteve Practical Q, K: are you moving lock stock & barrel to Instagram? It’s just that I don’t have an acct there - I appreciate I may need to open one, so I can keep up with your new #Adventure!

@EllaRove This is Sublime (love the mix of Excitement and Terror!!) news K. Am really admiring how it’s all going for you, and v best wishes for your next #Adventure!!

@Chris_ALISS @alissprogramme @ALLIANCEScot This is very pleasing to read - v glad it’s all still useful! @christinehoy @mrhyde @JaneAnkori @ALLIANCEScot @alissprogramme

Will you be wearing a #WhitePoppy this year? Please feel free to tell us your reasons! Ed says, "I wear a white poppy because it isn't enough simply to say 'Never Forget'. We also have to be bold enough to pledge 'Never Again' and to work for peace." #WhitePoppies

@ManiraAhmad Good Luck today Manira - I nearly wrote ‘Fingers Crossed for you’…that will come in time, I am sure!

Been anxious all night as I’m back at the hospital today, hoping & praying for positive news. If all goes well today, then moving closer to doing the things I love Not underestimating the journey ahead however every small step in recovery is a huge leap towards my new normality

If you live in or near Porty, Edinburgh’s seaside town and are interested in rewilding the this is for you.

@ManiraAhmad @NHSGGC Such a relief to read your news M - #TakeitSteady, but on #TheRoadtoRecovery

TY for all the love & support - assessment went well & the fabulous teams at @NHSGGC have saved my fingers 🙏 Still a long road to recovery plus getting a handle on the pain but what a relief for me, family & those around me Only possible because of everyone’s well wishes 💚

@rufflemuffin Good to hear this Sarah. I’m imagining that stepping in to a new direction, and away from one that may have been all-consuming, could shake anyone’s sense of themselves. But you need have no fear of imposter syndrome - good at whatever you embark upon!

@Hilaryonline @timwarren2020 one for having a look at? #healthliteracy

@ManiraAhmad @M_YousafAhmad Thinking of you now, Anisa comes to mind too; I am imagining she also may have been shocked and upset. I know you will be alright in time - you are that sort of person after all. But perhaps she may need a little re-assuring - pls give her a hug - with your good arm of course!

@ManiraAhmad @M_YousafAhmad Dear Manira, the other day I gave our grass an autumn cut, and yes it is salutary to think how casually I cleared blocked grass from the mower - ‘There but for the grace of god go the rest of us’ etc. Thinking of you now, warmest best wishes that you will get better

7 days ago I changed my life in a nano second when my fingers were severed by a running lawnmower. I can’t recall most of what happened afterwards however I remember feeling cared for, supported & loved 🙏 to all my extended family, friends & colleagues, you are my everything 💚

@EllePats @ChildReporter @CHScotland Bless you Lisa, I don’t think I ever knew you’d been on a Panel. But now I do, it seems entirely typical. And admirable (in a humble sort of way :-)))

I served on the children’s panel for 4 years. It was challenging, rewarding, humbling and worthwhile. @ChildReporter @CHScotland are looking for volunteer panel members chscotland.gov.uk

@_laurencurrie_ Pls pass on very best wishes to yr mum, Lauren - she was a real help (when it counted!). And keep lots of love, on the way, for yourself! Pxx

@peterashe ☺️☺️☺️ lots of love to you Peter

This is one of my favourite bags. Last month I took it on holiday to carry all my extra devices, batteries, charging cables, a box of LFTs. Today it was a tool bag, full of screwdrivers, pliers, & the like…
