@RobbieRinder LBD is awful, one of my loved ones dies of it. I’m so sorry for your loss, may his memory be a blessing

We must end this something for nothing culture. Who wants to live in a country where someone can be paid £98,000 a year to do a job but they only turn up less than 30% of the time?

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

@Nigel_Farage The only exception to this will be if anyone wants to give me £5 million and expects nothing in return. That will obviously be fine.

A tiny late summer posy in a Victorian ink bottle, in case the dry heatwave crispiness is making you miss floral colour just now. Is anyone else finding the brown bleached straw-like gardens and countryside saddening?🌿:

Rhasidat Adeleke was born in Dublin, raised in Ireland and represents Ireland.

She is Irish. Her Nigerian heritage does not cancel that.

If her skin colour makes you question her Irishness, the problem isn’t her nationality. It’s your racism.

A couple of shells for you to look at (one has an unexpected Magnum PI moustache). Our brains seem to love gentle colour gradations & relax when we look at the fractals in shells (bc they used to contain essential foraging snacks). Maybe zoom in if you’re strung out:

Dapples are circular because tiny gaps between leaves act as pinhole cameras projecting the image of the spherical sun.
Today you can test this! Find a tree during the eclipse & see the fabulous crescent-shaped dapples beneath🌙🌞🌙

Mrs A, 82, was admitted "off legs and confused". A urine dip was positive, a diagnosis of "urosepsis" was written, antibiotics started, and everyone relaxed.

She did not improve. On day three someone finally examined properly: she was dry as a bone, and her chest crackled at the right base. The urine had told us nothing except that she was old and had bacteria in her bladder, as many older women do without it meaning anything.

Rehydration and the right antibiotic for her pneumonia, and her mind came back.

A positive dip in an older person with delirium is not a diagnosis. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is common, and treating it while the real cause hides is one of the easiest mistakes in geriatric medicine. Examine the whole patient before you blame the bladder. #delirium

If I had a pound for every time a bumbling, egotistical political leader with outrageous hair hid in something designed for food, I'd have £2, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice
