Incredible Aurora Borealis in #Orkney last night so glad we stayed up late to see it
MFW I'm explaining to a co-worker who Mr Blobby is, and they weren't even alive in his heyday..

Something something healthcare. OK, we don't actually have a proper #tenuouslink for this but, er, let's call it a #WellbeingWendesday post because we think the 'ginger chonkster' will make you smile.

Also if you work in the #NHS don't miss out on the great resources from your local library teams.
I can't believe we released the best video we ever made on #talklikeapirateday , how will we compete? ARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
LOOKATTHECUTEPANDA!!
We need an excuse to show this cute panda so here's a #tenuouslink to an article titled "Are animals the best therapists?": commons.und.edu/cgi/viewcont... (Bet the rubber duck loving fluffball made you smile though & that's got to be a #wellbeing plus too).
The Library team got nominated for not one, but FOUR 'Making a Difference Awards' this year #proud. Congratulations to all of those individuals and teams that made it through to the final shortlists...
We've had a few bookmarks for sale at RDH library, with the proceeds going to the children's hospital but..there are only 2 LEFT. £1.50 each, absolute bargain! You snooze you lose! (cash only please!) #bookmarkfrenzy #bethecoolestreaderintown
"I had an epic journey getting to where I am now. Being the first Trust employee [from Project SEARCH] has made History for the programme. Huge thanks to the Library team & Project SEARCH for all the support and giving me the opportunity to be myself, leading to success" - Sam.
Quite literally a blast from the past

We're starting to label up our devices to remind people to switch off when not in use. Hopefully this will help to save energy and unnecessary costs. So whether it's chargers, monitors or meatballs (see yesterday's post), if you're not using it, switch it off! #sustainability
Someone has left their meatballs on charge in the Nottingham room. #whenisyourdolmioday

Here's one for the QHB Library Catwatch. We've just been made aware of this BEAUTIFUL FLOOF, enjoying the sunshine today! #catwatch #librarycats #uhdblibrary
Thanks to everyone who filled in our annual user survey! We have had some really valuable, positive feedback. The prize winners have now been contacted - here's 2 of them with our library staff.
Happy Learning Disability Week!
The theme this year is "Do you see me?"
"Do you see me?" is about making sure people with a learning disability are seen, heard, included and valued in all aspects of life.
