    Has anyone considered an exit strategy for the #NHSclap or are we leaving our flats every Thursday night to clap into the night forever? Just asking.

    Chemotherapy? Smashed it! 34 hours of chemo over 8 sessions & 16 weeks. Feel battered and shattered but VERY relieved to be done with the poison 👹. Now just need to get through the next 2-3 weeks while my immune system rebuilds (“don’t die when the war is over” as my nurse says

    Cancer diagnosis: a thread. It's a cliche, but when you hear "you have cancer" the world stops. It’s devastating. What I didn’t know is that would be just the start of a long diagnosis journey.

    800 million children globally—that’s around 1 in 3 kids —have levels of lead in their blood at or above the level that requires intervention. Most live in Africa and Asia. A *great* flagship project for the Biden administration would be to eliminate lead poisoning globally

    Once again, let’s spare some thoughts and prayers for the FCDO governance advisers, tasked with telling developing countries how to build stable democracies 🙏

    Kiddo is moving to the nursery at our local primary school in September. I just did the sums and calculated that my childcare costs will reduce from £2,060/month to £313/month. Childcare costs are killing young families.
