I’m not going to comment on my district’s results. As a council worker I think in this case I’d best shut up. Let’s just say I’m ashamed of what people have chosen.

Cath S @cathsheard.bsky.social · 12h

I’m sorry. You’d have been awesome.

They’re incredibly messy but love starting art journal pages with Dylusions water reactive spray inks. I always do a bunch at once because of the mess involved.

Tony seemed lucid initially this morning. When he explained he’d taken his hospital bed for a spin this morning & it’s got a decent kick, I realised all was not well 😂

He was fixated on petrol, painting things, motors. Making extremely random connection to photos on the wall.

Thanks OxyContin!

I find the staff great, despite all the challenges. I’m so pleased I moved him from his original rest home.

Puffin has paused sales of its children’s Spy Dog, Spy Pups and Spy Cat series - a website printed in some editions redirects to adult content with no age verification.

The link, originally used to promote the books & characters, has been taken over by an unrelated 3rd party.

I had a wee cry while he slept.

Makes me realise, while I want him to go & not be in pain any more, the reality still sucks.

Head & heart are two different things. I’m going to be shocked & sad, and that’s ok.

Thinking about today.

Once we had Tony properly awake, after about 3 hours, the main RN had a good chat with him.

He re-confirmed he wants no treatment at all, no hospital.

Checked he understands consequences & that he knows they will keep him comfortable.

After the initial drama,

It’s an Amaryllis. It’ll open a bit more yet & there’s another one starting to open.
