@drcasuallycruel I'm in like four different group chats lol.

[Alison Clarke @aaclarke4]

Shout out to the station worker at #Cambridgestation organising a lot of people into taxi queues. It's an irritating situation but she's doing great ✨

@juliaisobela Eating-wise I pretend am and pm are the other way around, so I'll have 'breakfast' at 6pm or so, 'lunch' at 1am etc.

Only sleep on the last night (if you can)

Buy yourself something nice after your last shift (my go to was lipgloss)

[Alison Clarke @aaclarke4]

@eleanorfbrown Yeah, I'm not surprised 🩶

[Alison Clarke @aaclarke4]

@eleanorfbrown You sure you're ok?

[Alison Clarke @aaclarke4]

@Rachel_A_P_ My partner's Christmas dinner trick is, when everyone is sat down and has served themselves a polite amount of food, to bring out a second tray just of roast potatoes.

Pancreatic cancer:
Palliative care reflections
A thread 🧵

Difficult to manage on so many levels.
My mum died from this condition and I was very grateful that she had the support of palliative care at home, in hospital and eventually the hospice.

Some things I’ve learned 👇

[Alison Clarke @aaclarke4]

@drcasuallycruel I made sure I had an 'evening' when I got back from work; got cosy, had a hot chocolate and some toast (I eat my meals backwards on nights), played some animal crossing. Went to bed at about 11-11.30am

Wasn't sure if this was Swiftie twitter or maths twitter at first.

taylor expansions are like a tldr for functions

[Alison Clarke @aaclarke4]

It was rare, I was there.

[Alison Clarke @aaclarke4]

@anna_lindqvist @wrongsomehow I was in the nosebleeds N1 and I remember thinking there were way more people on one side than the other. A mess up somewhere?

@FiFiELewis @Dr_BellaR This just made me go 'ugh FINE' to my cat-owning dreams.

One day maybe?

[Alison Clarke @aaclarke4]
