Just did a quick blitz of music-liking Bsky accounts.

Not a stalker - just trying to expand the bluesky sphere a little with #folk of a similar mind.

Follow back if you want- don't if you don't. If you're still worried, just say so and I'll unfollow you again.

My brother in law had a hip replacement in Oct 2023 and reluctantly went private as quoted NHS waiting time was 18-24 months

My wife first saw a consultant in December, just a month after going to the GP and had her operation on Saturday. She came home last night! All via NHS.

Crisis, what crisis?

Thanks Di. Followed everyone back in an effort to build things on here. If anyone wants to follow me back (no pressure, no obligs) then you might want to use @obesemanrowing for just rowing stuff. Unless of course you ARE interested in Irish/Americana/country music and my opinions on cheese & tea.
