@avivaplc Trying to switch insurance. Top three quotes on @Confused_com all lead to the Aviva policy investigations unit, where it is proving impossible to get through (either too busy or long waits and dropped calls). Useless.

@Robdekoter @PursueOptimism @JohnSimpsonNews This was serialised on BBC Radio 4 - fascinating ultimately hopeful book. About another Jewish girl hidden in the Netherlands under Nazi occupation. theguardian.com/books/2019/jan…

@PursueOptimism @JohnSimpsonNews It happened in the Netherlands, not Germany.

Anne Frank and her family were betrayed by a neighbour 79 years ago. In 1987 I covered the trial of the Butcher of Lyon, Klaus Barbie. Hearing that a man he’d arrested still lived near Lyon, I went to interview him. ‘How did Barbie know about you?’ I asked. ‘My neighbour betrayed me.’ ‘What happened to him?’ ‘He’s still my neighbour.’ And indeed I could see that the neighbour was actually in his garden, listening to us. He ran indoors when we started filming him. Imagine living 40 years next to the man who’d sent you to a concentration camp.

Congratulations! It took me until I was 36 years old so you are well ahead of me! You can do anything...

If you want to read a beautiful, concise and elegant book on why the NHS is worth saving, this, from @gavinfranc, is it. No better #NHS75 reading 💙

Today marks the one year anniversary of My Health My Care My Home. So much great work taking place to implement its vision. Thank you. @PaulBaughan @janAHPO @GrahamEllis247 @jasonleitch

Every word.

@FernBrady I just finished reading (actually listening to Fern reading it…) so worth it. Anyone autistic in your life? Read it. Moving, funny, revelatory, helpful. Loved it. Thanks Fern.

Great to see this happening in England! 13 years since we started the Scottish Deep End and now growing in UK and internationally..as far away as Japan!

With Care Homes ECHO approaching in @NHSHighland followed by @NHSaaa and @DGNHS , it's great to hear national clinical advisor, @PaulBaughan, reflect on his ECHO experience. @HF290622 @CEOHighlandHos @JaimeJMMcNab @LucyJohnston555 @CareInspect vimeo.com/821677327?ref=…

@PaulGowens I had no idea - all good thoughts sent your way

Gowensy had left the building @edinburghcancercentre - thanks everyone for the tremendous care now the long road to recovery and to wait and see if the treatment has been a success. Ty once again NHS Scotland you have been fantastic.

@BigHanFran An iPhone 13 mini….

@DreyfusJames And yet driver-only trains have been a condition the rail chiefs have tried to prise into the RMT pay deal - and with Tory government support. Scandalous!

@OTerrifying Less impressive, but gruesome nonetheless….

@gibbsgirl21 According to Petroc Trelawny the ‘decorations down at 12th night’ was introduced by those pesky Victorians - the older tradition was to keep them up ‘til Candlemas. However, lights in the darkness need no justification. Thinking of you.

I know I am supposed to take down my tree or risk bad luck. But the pretty lights make me happy and as my partner died unexpectedly 5 weeks ago I’m not sure what more bad luck would look like. So it’s staying up at least for a few more days.
