Small boat on a sunrise sea.

Salt grass and
sand swept dunes.
Washed in sunrise
small boat drifts,
engine idling,
a drowsy monotone
in the dusky blur
of early morning mist.

@CherylTipp my husband Ian who I think you met at Pat Sellar’s birthday party some time ago has died. Would BLOWS like his sound recordings?

A clear demonstration of why we need bank branches - banks are pressing ahead with closures without putting in place effective solutions for people with disabilities https://t.co/lJSlgeGqn4

Glad my colleague Sally West was able to attend this round table at @DWP. It’s never been more important that Pension Credit reaches those entitled to it as it’s the gateway to most of the support for older people on low incomes @GuyOpperman

If you watch one thing this year, watch this

I really recommend The Distant Barking of Dogs if you’ve not seen it. Documentary work at its best. Simple truths of human life and it’s condition in a world of war. “We are part of this place, part of this land” #stories

“Saturday sun won’t come and see me today “
“Saturdays sun has turned to Sunday’s rain”
Saturdays gone…
Can’t say I’m unhappy about that the way things are going at the moment.
I’ve been sorting through a lot of things so have put together a small gallery for a Sunday smile.

A very powerful thread

[Caroline Abrahams @Car_Abrahams]

The idea that from April someone visiting a loved one in a care home must pay for their LFT before entering is, to my mind, completely unacceptable. Govt must think again. Care home visitors in England will have to pay for Covid tests https://t.co/b1IKBbxHSH
