Andrew has been using his white cane to get around independently all his life. He can now no longer get the bus to Chiswick High Road to shop at M&S because of a two-way bike track running through his bus stop. All the major UK blind persons’ charities want to see a halt to this.

We fine parents when they go on holiday during term time, why don’t we fine politicians who holiday when parliament is in session?

5-year survival for breast cancer is 98% if diagnosed at Stage 1 and 89.5% at Stage 2 (out of 4 stages). Early diagnosis through screening means treatment is less invasive and more effective.

Please take up your screening invitation; it makes a major difference to outcomes.

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better.

RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

A reminder Power of Attorney is arguably more important than a will, and more urgent.

Just had a call on @thismorning from an older lady asking about moving bills into her name from her husbands, who she's caring for as he has early stage dementia.

Yet she hadn't yet done Power of Attorney. This is by far the more urgent consideration. Get it done while someone has the capacity to sign it. Then if and when they lose their faculties, the transition so you can look after their finances (and health and welfare) for them is relatively easy.

If not, leave it too late, and the money may be locked away unless you got to the Court of Protection which is often and expensive and time consuming nightmare.

Better still get a PoA when young. I did mine before I was 40. It is in place, so that if I lose my faculties in the future at that point (not before) someone can take over.

Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’: extreme grumpiness in the morning.

From the Latin ‘Matuta’, Roman goddess of the dawn, and the Greek ‘lype’, ‘grief’. Put them together and you get ‘morning grief’.
