Dad has taken to sending the WhatsApp group he has with just me and brother in a photo from his daily morning walk each day.

It's rather lovely.

I would rather bugger myself with a swordfish than hook my personal phone up to an NHS M365 tenant again, thesedays.

I salute your dedication.

...and then when staff burn out, you have a three month period, minimum realistically, where that vacancy isn't helping move the waiting list either.

So it keeps growing.

Mister Alex @awp.christies.org.uk · 4h

So if referrals keep rising, you have to keep doing those new init. appointments, you keep building a waiting list and can't move people through effectively.

System gets backlogged answering calls about "when will my appointment be" and "things have got worse since we were seen"...

Uh huh.

Local paediatric service withdrew from the 'no-comorbidities' assessment & treatment work, so their Pts and waiting list were transferred over to CAMHS.

The other huge factor is the need for CAMHS to do the initial assessment of all referrals received so you can accurately triage.

Waiting time (from referral to diagnosis and treatment starting) for ADHD, in a team I used to work for, was hitting the 13-16 year range recently.

Obviously, terrible enough already - but that's a service with an age limit of 18.

So yeah, at the "ask your health visitor to refer your baby" stage.

Yesterday I logged into our demo/testing environment twice.

The OTC in the morning was 582 123 and in the afternoon I got 123 582 and yeah, it Did Not Feel Right, at all.

I don't like it when it gives me a palindromic number either. Random should *feel* random, damnit.

It can't. Parsley is holding it back, pinning it into the corner of the bed.

They're both for freezing and they don't even know it... 😈

And from ours! (Who does not know that Winter is Coming... 😬)

A large basil plant growing outside in a herb planter. It is slightly dwarfed by a parsley behind it.

Another Norfolk dawn.

Dawn over a dark field. Trees in the distance are backlit by the rising light behind them. Aircraft contrails are glowing orange in the sky.

I googled it.

They used a definition of orgasm that was, get this, *a pulse rate of over 120bpm*.

Joke's on them, by that standard I can climax just from a couple of espresso and trotting up the stairs too quickly.
