This one has my favourite ever line from a narrator - 'who can tell what she is thinking'

This weekend what are you all reading AND how did you 'meet'/ 'get introduced to' that book? Here's mine. One for book club. And both because of the authors

Omg it’s a Friday miracle.

A physical copy I can hold in my hands.

This book is so good I read the entire thing in a pdf on my phone in a day. I never re-read books but I’m definitely going back in on this one.

Basically plan your home so that if you need downstairs living with a wet room you already have it before you get sick, because adaptations take so long you won’t get them in time

The Government’s 10 Year Health Plan for England goes big on the move to neighbourhood health. Our "Demystifying neighbourhoods" document outlines what it means in practice, how it differs from existing models, and what it could mean for older people’s care. www.bgs.org.uk/neighbourhoods

Paper Sisters by Rachel Canwell | #bookreview #historicalfiction | @northodoxpress.bsky.social Paper Sisters is the debut novel from author Rachel Canwell. It is inspired by the true story of a hospital which was kept in readiness for over sixty years and looked after by her family, but was never used. Such a fascinating story, I can see why it inspired the book. The author is keen to point out that although elements of her real family history are reflected in the narrative, her characters are not fictionalised versions of her ancestors.

Not My Priority: How The Public Sees Social Care (And What Can Be Done About It) | The King's Fund It's widely acknowledged that social care reform is essential. In this report we explore why public opinion and attitudes towards social care are a key barrier to change.

Great report from my colleagues at
@thekingsfund.bsky.social

Thing that most sticks with me: most of the public don't know how social care works, and are shocked when they find out how much they might have to pay for it.

Some celebs are really over doing the ozempic at the moment aren't they? Not a good look imo. And not a good use for this medication.

Ahhh fantastic discovery. Lux is a hugely impressive albumn. The languages, the background work, the theme of the lyrics. I'm a big fan. First came across her through her earlier collaboration with Bjork. Grab a ticket to see her at the O2 if any left. It's going to be a great show.
