"Otters danced in the springs today. It was a good day."

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

How can we get end of life care right?

Mark Mardell joined us at our Summit to discuss what it means to have a 'good' death and why it's so difficult to talk about dying. #NTSummit

New packs for the MK2 Playful Learning Tour Guide. Workshop at the University of Durham tomorrow.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. Fearlessly showing us all what true mettle is. I hope she is protected at all costs and that the people of the USA hold this administration to account.

Quite a few new follows and followers these last couple of days after the depressingly familiar news about FB. I think it is important to remember we're a bunch of friendly, creative people who want a better world for all. Don't lose sight of that. Delight in your fabulous self!

Give yourself permission to play.

If you can't, then I'm giving it to you now by virtue of being a voice in your head.

Trust me, we need play now more than ever to balance out the work to be done.

Finally started to take up the dahlias yesterday. Been a real dilemma in the absence of frosts. I’ve left some in the ground to face their fate. Lost a couple to gall too. But for now, I hallway full of drying tubors 🤣

Unexpectedly and delightedly invited to go and see Interpol with an old friend. It’s really made my day 😎

Everyone saying “no we can’t let the NHS use a proper joined up digital patient database, it’s all part of a plot to privatise British healthcare and sell your data” should be forced to read the dozens (hundreds?) of case studies like these www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-...
