There is potential for people at Lio/ Oxehealth and EPUT to have to reckon with the consequences of their actions, the answers they give will form the recommendations that Baroness Lampard gives in the 2027 report.

That's so frustrating! I've actually never had problems with this GP before this week, I usually just do the online form and get an appointment a day or so later depending on if it's urgent. I suspect they're overwhelmed by the new triage thing and are sending patients elsewhere as a solution?

Whatever this new GP triage system is, it's really not working because they told me to go to A&E for a really really minor issue and then the person wouldn't speak on the phone because she wasn't medical, so I guess the options are getting called a time waster in A&E or "hope for the best" ??

People always ask what I do with it. I just carefully sort it into colours and keep it in many different jars (my lifelong favourite activity of ✨sorting things into piles✨)
Jars of sea glass sorted into colours, lots of white/seafoam, green. Some brown. Much less red and blue.

Who wants to see some of my summer sea glass hauls? (I'm showing you anyway). The two photos of the sorted sea glass are each from just one day's collection at Charmouth (two separate days) 🌀💎
White skinned hand holding a jar of sea glass in blues, pink, red and bright green Lots of pots and dishes of sea glass sorted into colour. There is lots of green and white but only a few blue pieces A mix of sea glass in a sieve, mostly green, white and brown Sea glass sorted into colours, there is loads of white and green, less brown and just a few bits of blue, yellow and red. Also some bits of coloured pottery and a tiny fossil
