If I had the energy, I'd ask, 'You call that a heavy blanket?', in an Aussie accent before sharing a photo of the weighted blanket my nephew, niece, & their parents got for me. The year before, nephew got me stress balls. So much for trying to hide the depression and anxiety from him and his sister!

One of my dad's amazing carers was just asking if there is anyone who can oppose the current government and I said - hoping with every sinew - the Green Party.

Surely when you've got a country with low rates of asylum granted, you should take more time rather than fast tracking the cases to make sure you're not making sweeping assumptions.

It's so ridiculous. One of my dad's carers, who's Indian, calls him dādā, i.e., paternal grandfather, and others call him uncle. A previous carer from Sudan called him bābā, i.e., father.
