We are wrapping up #RefugeeWeek with some beautiful poetry from our talented writer and ESOL teacher @HilaryElder. This year’s theme, #OurHome, inspired her language students to create 20-word poems using various poetic devices in class challenges! @RefugeeWeek

The timing of the election might cause problems for some, esp students coming to the end of term or those who have holidays booked (whoever they intend to vote for). The solution is to apply for a postal vote. Here’s the link to do so. Please share.

What can we learn from the death of the #Queen?

The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named.

Let's notice what nobody mentioned: we all saw the Queen going through the stages of ordinary dying.

As a Geriatrician and a fellow human, what an example of positive ageing & and what a way to go; at home, with family, comfortably, quickly and enjoying life up until your final days.
What a woman.

@mmse30 What a lovely tribute to Anne. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

[Terry Aspray @mmse30]

My wife, Anne, died on 16th January. How do we distil a life well lived into 600 words? We cannot. However, we can celebrate goodness and share something of her warmth and kindness. https://t.co/VbR1KAJqv4

@suba_thiru Just read Miss Benson’s Beetle with my book club. It was enjoyable, with some “laugh out loud” moments.
Also recommend other titles in previous replies: Hamnet, Man who died twice, Giver of stars.
Happy reading!

Great session on diabetes in older people at #BGSconf. Enjoyed co-chairing with @SVH00. Excellent presentation by @DocStrain @ClareHambling

Jelly babies are an essential part of a hypo box says @ClareHambling. Important clarification that they are equally effective whether eaten foot first or head first. #BGSconf 🍬
