Interesting article from Church Times on #autism & church/faith, including lived experience. Feat. @jpuddlegoose @ThePinkVicar (& her wonderful art!) @bexchapman3boys @frjonathanbish & citing @AnnMemmott @danielbowmanjr @autismpastor. https://t.co/dMuNl2EYkn

@Purpleella If everyone really did experience it you wouldn't have to struggle for understanding or empathy. And the stresses that socially constructed wouldn't happen in the first place...

@CaraLisette 'Pleasant lady' and 'Pleasant gentleman' must be the most overused words in NHS documentation!

What a birthday treat: going to @MousetrapLondon with someone who's never seen it before - and keeping the secret throughout!

@LeaderSutton @MayorofLondon Although it could be a motivation to improve public transport? If we had fast, reliable trains between Sutton and Belmont it would massively improve speed of travel and air quality on Brighton Road.

@adamfare1996 My colleagues have been great about this - fully accepting of my limits. If only this were the norm.

The cost-of-living crisis is affecting all of us, but it is not equal.
People with the lowest levels of income are being hit the hardest, and we know that people in this group are already at higher risk of suicide. 1/3

@SGV_UK I envy you. Mine is 17c at highest with heat on, 13c at lowest without heat.

@fhussain73 @Projectsurgery1 I hope you've been well-supported today. Praying for you and everyone grieving for Petre.

[Rachael Twomey @RacTwo]

@fhussain73 @Projectsurgery1 Petre made a huge difference to my time living with/recovering from mental health issues and I still remember his wise words.

@SGV_UK This is exactly how I'm feeling about coffee after church at the moment - so much so that I didn't go to church yesterday.

@ItsEmilyKaty My trick is to get the clothes shopping over with by 10am (on a Saturday). Admittedly that means I'll need to go again soon...

@CharlRWalker I was just about to read my reading group book (deadline next weekend) but was wavering and your tweet has decided me. Karen Pirie it is 😀

[Rachael Twomey @RacTwo]

@hagenilda @CharlRWalker That's strange, the hospital where I work is business as usual on Monday, including outpatient services. I thought the guidance to do this was from NHS England so would apply across the country.

.@bodycontrol can you email me the link for the first of 6 classes I've booked for tonight? 6pm start? I've had no response to my email and your voicemail says you close at 4.30pm.

[Rachael Twomey @RacTwo]

@outdoorperscrip This is horrible, the noise and the anticipation of it. I feel for you.

[Rachael Twomey @RacTwo]

@thechurchmouse Yes, the company installed the wrong type of meter for my property so it couldn't measure energy use or communicate with the supplier. I kept getting asked for readings I couldn't submit so had 'estimated' (high) bills. It took 5 months of monthly complaints to get replaced.

@CaraLisette The music! According to my mum, I used to cry when 'Bright Eyes' played on 'Top of the Pops' even though at 16 months old I didn't understand the lyrics or the film's plot...
