Story idea:

we are x years in the future and there’s an ageing generation of those who still know the old art of “thinking” independently of computers

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

And can I just add an actual physiotherapist at least once? At home leaflets or apps are not the same, especially for people not used to exercise

Of course this is a no brainer

But sadly doing exercise is costly for many - cost of gym, cost of club membership or simply cost of having spare time

Prevention and healthy lifestyles really need to become a priority and eg maybe subsidised

Two hours of exercise a week reduces joint pain and visits to GP

Study looks at how workouts can help those with hip, knee and back pain – and benefit UK economy to tune of £34bn

Had a good chat with the taxi driver today about traffic chaos in Oxford, and how to solve it. And no he was not for more cars.

I wish those who drive up and down our roads daily were consulted more when plans are made by the council.

I saw! If it’s stormy enough this year, I might get to hear many people mispronounce the storms name 😆

Im Gegensatz zu Hausarzt? Oder wie ist das gemeint? Bin schon zu lange weg um das System zu verstehen (auch wenn ich immer wieder überlege ob ich zurückkommen soll!)

Hegseths thing wasn’t only a ridiculous tirade. It was a show that he can summon all the most senior military leaders, make “jokes” about retiring if they don’t agree and demonstrate that he can make them sit and watch how he tears apart what has been build over decades

Given that all decisions in nhs include systemic cost calculations and not personal risk I suspect a lot of the decision has been made based on cost of covid vaccine >>> cost of flu vaccine
