this is potentially TMI but also *v useful information* so: did you know that (in the UK) if you start to feel you're getting a UTI on Saturday evening you can do an online form with eg Boots and be picking up your antibiotics by 10am on Sunday morning? and then start to feel better by 11am?

Evocative thread of pictures, almost as good as a wild walk on the beach
'Time and Tide'
(From a previous winter.)
I walked along the beach, it was the 7th December, and cold. Sleet showers stung my face.
I saw a branch, cast ashore by the tide. It was shapely and elegant, and rocking to and fro with the rhythm of the sea. 1/5
