Arrived at 1.35 for black tie wedding at 2pm and went to get changed into my dress that husband had packed into the suit carrier. Except he hadn’t actually packed it. Managed to run into Harrogate, tried on the first dress I picked up, walked out wearing it and back at 1.55 for the ceremony.
OMG the Fred Again/ Thomas Bangalter set is on Apple Music and I’ve never wanted to go out and dance so much in my life.
Very apt that on #WorldKidneyDay I had my first consultation with a renal dietitian to discuss how to lower my currently raised potassium.

Living with CKD is anxiety provoking. Every blood test brings that fear that eGFR has dropped and dialysis and transplant are getting closer. I have polycystic kidney disease so it is a “when” not an “if”…. /6 #worldkidneyday #dontkidyourself
It’s #worldkidneyday today. As someone on the cusp of stage 5 CKD (aka kidney failure) I’ll be sharing my random thoughts of what it’s like to live with it. First of all, it’s bloody exhausting….
Today is World Kidney Day It's important to take care of your kidneys and to be aware of the symptoms of kidney disease. Please share this so others can be aware also. #WorldKidneyDay #KidneysMatter #DontKidYourself
My hairdresser went to the Brits and I’m contemplating booking an extra haircut just to hear her tell me how incredible Rosalia and Bjork was IRL.
Isabel Oakeshott must be so pleased she moved to Dubai because London is such a dangerous no-go war zone.
Watching the Fred Again/ Thomas Bangalter videos and reminded of the time we turned down tickets to see Daft Punk and LCD Soundsystem as I was a witness at a friends wedding. 17 years later and we no longer speak to them and my husband still hasn't forgiven me.
🧵 Mental Health Nurses’ Day 2026. Mental health nursing is often described in emotive language: compassion, resilience, care. Those things matter. But what often gets missed is the sophistication of the work. #MentalHealthNursesDay #NurseSky #TherapistSky
Started watching ER on Netflix. I absolutely loved it when I was 14 and it probably contributed to me becoming a nurse. Watching it 30+ years later, it’s unbelievably infuriating. The clinical info is garbage at times, the treatment of delirium is horrific and the clinicians are inappropriate.
What was Myra Cavendish’s motivation for her actions in #thenightmanager ? It was never explained and just unbelievably frustrating!

I don’t care who wins as long as it’s not Rachel. #thetraitors #traitorsUK
Hmmmm… not convinced by this season of the Traitors now. Turning to be full of too many Apprentice style main characters. Normally they all tell Claudia they want to be faithfuls- this season they all wanted to be traitors and it shows.
Over halfway through the 1st series of #ThePitt and knew that it was “intense” but thought I was “fine”. Just watched episode 12 (6pm) and can confirm that I am no longer fine and really quite traumatised.
Great film, only slightly spoiled by the line about a large halibut in the oven. A large halibut would not fit in the oven, they are massive. A small halibut would fit in the oven. Pedantic, I know.

One last day. Come on, you can do it. Props to everyone working on the wards/ community over the bank holidays. I am on my knees. Roll on 4.30pm.
Ishbel Straker’s career was going from strength to strength when she blew the whistle on another healthcare provider. She says this started what would become a vindictive and malicious campaign to destroy her career by the nursing regulator.
'I think this is as big as the Post Office scandal'
Ishbel Straker was a high-profile healthcare leader when she claims she became the victim of a campaign to ruin her reputation. Now she is hitting back.

Happy Chanukah 🕎. To celebrate please check out this delicious frying pan full of latkes. They tasted even better than they look.
The story of Hanukkah is about the Jewish people’s fight for religious freedom. We usually celebrate this as a festival of lights. But lighting my chanukiah tonight felt more like lighting memorial candles than a celebration. May the memory of the Bondi Beach victims be a blessing.
Just watched Love Actually for the first time ever, and I’m not going to lie to you. I hated every moment of it. Why are people obsessed with it?
Good morning from Berlin! I’ve never been here before, Amy suggestions of what to do this afternoon warmly received .
