Happily married Scottish cat-slave, mum to two wonderful people, vehemently anti-Brexit & heartily sick of corruption in politics & the greed in all sectors. City girl all my life but now love the Somerset countryside. More good books please.

My heart aches for trans people who are now more fearful than ever. The vast majority just want to live a normal life, under the radar, but in a gender different to that assigned to them at birth. This ruling won’t help them do that.

It is only for those over 75 now or with specific immunocompromised conditions (not all).

A class action is when a group of people take out a lawsuit against a provider/organisation as the all have the same or similar claims.

I know - my mouth dropped open. I don’t know all the people as the group covers two classes - many people go to both - and I only know the names of a limited few.

Thanks. I have always been disappointed with iPhone cameras when I see what the android ones can do (OH - has had a couple of different makes). But maybe the 14 is better.

OMG someone from my dance class has just posted on WhatsApp group that they have tested positive for Covid (“just a slight cold”) but as they are just off to the US, they won’t see us for a month….

I know… not a Labour voter but was so happy when they got in, headed by level-headed, considered legal expert Keith Starmer but been so puzzled and disappointed with the results so far.

Lady Weathergirl @ladyweathergirl.bsky.social · 14h

Thanks, will look into it. I’d dearly love a better camera but feels the Samsung & other androids are better than iPhones in this. I just quail at the thought of losing my Apple products & having to get used to a whole new set - as well as the cost!

Hey @lukepollard.bsky.social

Have a look at my thread about Derriford. I’m the woman who was in touch with you about ferrying Nigerian care workers home due last year’s race riots

Meanwhile - St George flags besmirch Forder Valley on the way up to Derriford & the REI, where so many people 1/2

Anyway - the stellar staff we have seen include:

Dr Abu from The Sudan (fled to get to Egypt when a kid, now a wonderful doctor)
Joy from Malaysia who sped around Resus for 12 hours without pause
Nurses Elizabetta & Esitio on The Medical ward
Dr Hasan on call
Julietta from Poland who makes + tea

2/2 What concerns me is that she will be discharged without long enough monitoring & with a 10 month wait until ablation is possible & we’re back to square one.

It’s a hellhole there (staff doing their best etc )

What with accidents and increased cyber attacks, we’ll all be back to pen and paper as well as digital! Crazy.

Lady Weathergirl @ladyweathergirl.bsky.social · 21h

Wow three at once. I’ve now booked shingles & pneumonia together - had to wait for a quiet period in case, as friend quite unwell after for a few days. Some trepidation. Also want to try to get a private Covid jab, but not sure if can have close to having the others?

Lady Weathergirl @ladyweathergirl.bsky.social · 21h

Just remember they’ve seen it all before!

Morning Neil, Guy’s came up but you were first, so very strange. Answered there. Hope your audit thing goes well. Busy week, out three times evenings but two of those meetings! One done, v productive & positive. Theatre tonight. More painting soffits on scaffolding today! At least is dry & not cold.

Lady Weathergirl @ladyweathergirl.bsky.social · 22h

She must have just got in under the wire due to birth date. I’m researching private jabs.

And the cost to the economy of all those still working g taking time off work. False economy. Long-Covid has cost us dear, and will continue. Friend’s daughter 22 had a condition prior but they have evidence Covid has now caused heart problems, she had to give up uni, can’t work for now. Just awful

Lady Weathergirl @ladyweathergirl.bsky.social · 22h

The uni is very good particularly for Chemistry & English - Philip Larkin was Librarian. Pics here of the theatre & museum, paintings.

It is much-maligned as there are some horribly deprived areas, but so much history and some beautiful buildings & parks. Good museum! Some pics - autumn 2017

Very sad. Sounds like he had a good, active & healthy life and wasn’t unwell for long, but sad for those he leaves behind.
