My sonnet about health inequality in today’s ⁦@yorkshirepost⁩

@KiteySarah Apparently “square” is the desirable shape for any garden plant, a sentiment echoed by the Newton Parks & Gardens dpt.

Lots of useful tips both horticultural and marital in this thread 🧵🌳😂

@KiteySarah Have you visited threads? Quieter and less angry x

I remember joining Tw*tter on @stripeybea’s recommendation. It was fun then but now it’s X? Less so 🙄 #MyXAnniversary

'Cley windmill in winter', machine embroidery by UK textile artist Rachel Wright #WomensArt

Paul Evans ‘Hoar Frost’. A very favourite painter.

@KiteySarah 🙈 have just seen this!! Xx

Next time @stripeybea

@AldiUK Certainly not mould, unless it that now has the ability to grow a skeleton, photos sent as requested.

@stripeybea Hi Barbara. I'm sorry to see this. From the images provided, this does appear to be moldy rice however, if you would like to pop us a DM, a member of the team will be happy to help. Thanks - Abby

.@AldiUK If you were planning on having a bag of basmati microwave rice from @AldiUK, don’t, the furry added extra is an entire rat, the red is it’s head and the blue it’s body. This was my granddaughters tea so you can imagine her reaction. Appalling food standards and hygiene!

@KiteySarah Open it and see if there’s any contact details inside?

Evri have done it again: someone else’s parcel, destined for same house name but different village. No way of contacting Evri to tell them they’ve messed up. Can’t find the person or the house name on local social sites. Can’t find the address to take it round myself. Ditch?

"EXCLUSIVE: Sewage in Windermere is killing." Here's to a massive turnout at the protest on Monday, Glebe in Bowness, 12 - 3. 👏👏👏 mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/s…

There are only 2 small stretches of river in England designated as bathing waters This morning both have 'No swim' advisories posted. environment.data.gov.uk/bwq/profiles/

There are staff who work in the quiet corners of the NHS. You hardly see them. They are not in meetings or invited to events. They’re not in the communication news. You don’t know they exist. Who are they? - Laundry staff - Mortuary staff - Health records staff Shine a light

@RitzCinema @KiteySarah 😳

Filming this week at the Ritz Cinema 🎬 #allcreaturesgreatandsmall Thanks to Stacey Holme and Lucy Steven for the images.

We didn't have parties to "boost morale" We didn't have quiz nights We didn't have champagne We watched our colleagues die though We were STEEPED in death We kept going We had to We kept on So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson You make me sick.

Staff are battling to maintain patient safety. This image reflects a stark depiction of exactly what all health care staff are experiencing on the frontline. My last 3 nightshifts were the worst I’ve experienced in my 30 years nursing #FairPayForNursing #SafeStaffingSavesLives

'Driving Snow.' (c1907) This is an archetypal work by Joseph Farquharson, the Edinburgh-born painter whose depictions of the Deeside landscape in various weathers, especially snow, are central to the tradition of Scottish Art.

@exitthelemming @AppleTVPlus 🙌🙌

Lamb, River, Standish and the gang are back. Eps 1 and 2 of #SlowHorsesS2 now streaming on @AppleTVPlus. Lots of horrid and funny things in the first two eps, and then I turn up in episode three. SO ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN

@NowThenSunshine Oooo, pinching this idea! Operation Advent Calendars shall begin next month 👍

I can never bring myself to pay the ridiculous price of Lego advent calendars, so each year the kids get a set they *actually* want, divided out over 24 days. And the best bit is that I get to use some of the several-thousand baggies we have left over from covid-testing kits 😀
