Oh definitely the Bedlington. The Dogtor is extremely tolerant of him but after a while I intervene because he'd do it till he was exhausted otherwise and it's not fair to push her patience too much!

This one is going on by the boiler to replace the one that crashed :) they use it to climb up to the top of the boiler where they have a rug where it's warm and secret .

I experienced this in primary care - in fact my doctor had me go in and go up and down her office stairs three times a week . I just got worse and worse and worse.

I in fact count the occupational care really helpful . They told me I was expecting far too much of myself and their 'pacing ' times were things like 'sit up in bed for 30 secs every half hour' not try and walk five miles.

Autumn definitely here - kitchen range lit for the second day in a row and I expect we'll soon transfer to cooking almost exclusively on that :)

Every time I think of the guy who stopped at a #teslatakedown to tell us Musk isn't really that right wing I sigh at the ability of educated people to delude ourselves .

I don't really care what you do to books while reading them so long as you're reading them.

Cracked spines, folded pages, greasy thumbprints, half ripped pages, water damage and books deformed from being stuffed in pockets are all battle scars of the journey you took.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social I'd like to invite you to come for a walk with me in my wheelchair on our rural lanes.
A really simple thing that would be significant would be reducing national speed limit on rural roads . It would use less fuel , it would dramatically improve safety and access.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

With constant discussion over increased NHS waiting lists it feels really at odds with a good package offering . Some offer it after a six month period - but he has always been approached with packages where it's a given

Husband has been approached by a few headhunters this year and for the first time in his career packages do not at least initially include private health cover. at a senior level losing a staff member for a nhs waiting list is costly . Why this trend?
