To those who know me at my best; to those who know me at my worst; to those who can’t tell the difference ☺️ Christian. Retired, former NHS employee. Married, 3 children, 3 grandchildren. Live in Derbyshire. Labour Party Member.
Hopefully, we’ll get cooler temps & rain in the coming days. I’d prefer it to rain overnight, if possible, though 😁
A letter from @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social It’s been engineered from the start. Streeting was never going to challenge for leadership. No doubt Andy Burnham promised him a cabinet post should he be elected leader/PM.
The media hated the fact that Starmer & Labour won the GE by a landslide in July 2024. They have done everything they can to discredit him & the party. Here’s a list of the things achieved in the last 2 years.
Does this little bird, made with a wire, count? My skilfully repaired fractured patella. We named this little bird “Ella, sitting in the patella of Stella” 😂😂😂
Placed a new planter next to my Mum & Dad’s memorial bench on Saturday morning, ahead of my cousin’s funeral today. Sadly, it wasn’t there when we arrived at church, so can only assume it’s been stolen. 😢
Meet my daughter’s kitten, Mauríce, aka Mr Mauríce (or Baby Boo or The Mogster). He’s nearly 5 months old & is adorable 🥰
My daughter’s kitten is a house cat so no risk of him seeking food from anywhere else. However, he always behaves like he’s being starved, even when he’s still got food in his bowl & a few crunchy treats 😁
I’ve achieved my highest ever score, today (329). I always aim to get 200 or more, but 300 has always eluded me until today 🥳
Good morning. Another warm day, today, before the rain Wangometer 🌧️ is put to use tonight. A beautiful flower at Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire, yesterday 🥰
I did say “overall”. There are things they’ve with which I disagree. However, overall, given the size of the agenda, they’re doing a good job.
Labour Governments’ policy to loosen the bureaucracy around planning applications for new homes, is resulting in precious green belt land (such as the area known as Spondon Wood - see photo) being re-categorised as grey belt in order for controversial applications to be approved. Shameful 😡
We criticise the NHS but rarely share our +ve experiences. Saw physio at GPs Weds pm, referral to x-ray. Appt at 4.20pm, today, then sent straight to A&E. Seen by ENP & out by 6.40pm. Excellent service all the way through, thank you to all involved.
I’m reading this lovely book &, today, I learned that in Norway, 23rd December is also called Little Christmas Eve. So, to all Norwegians, enjoy Little Christmas Eve 🎄🎄
