Lucy back again, thank you all for your kind words I appreciate all of them and to know he had such a large extended friendship with all of you I thank you all

This is Lucy (Pollewolledoodl) sad news I’m afraid my lovely husband passed away on 22 June (not) covid. He was 58, on the 19th he’d gone out for a walk and was found by a member of the public who started CPR helicoptered to hospital and unfortunately never regained consciousness

@HouseOfLard Well done for persevering. It would be interesting to see the original description and the skills recommendations because that looked torturous.

@JJColeman704 Yeah whatever 😉. No I’m not, although that does sound strangely appealing.

@HouseOfLard Wise move on the extra felt. Lay horizontal. The wood looks like it’s been stored in a soggy water butt for 18 months.

“Several other times I said, I have no idea, I just misspoke”. How true on so many levels.

To clarify, dexamethasone is already approved & has been widely used across the NHS for years.

Utmost respect to the NHS teams behind the RECOVERY trial who have established its safe & effective use in #COVID19.

But please, @DHSCgovuk, don't try & claim credit for nonsense.

This evening I took a risk and ventured into the public sphere for the greater good - @GiveBloodNHS. Donation 79. Quieter, faster, socially distanced.���

Fish, gammon or some other less savoury waste product springs to mind. One for @PrivateEyeNews or @BylineTimes. BBC News - Robert Jenrick: Housing secretary says planning decision 'within the rules' https://t.co/QGlLauYjPU

Unfortunately @JasonIsbell at Hammersmith has been deferred for a year. I probably would have let it one pass this year and taken the hit, but 12 months on ... who knows? The Roundhouse a couple of years ago was fab, so here’s hoping.

"The real way to make things better is to empower the patients."

@Liz_ORiordan - a Breast Surgeon with breast cancer - speaks honestly about the stark realisations she made as a patient, and what this taught her about her own clinical practice.

@karen_knight1 7/7. A date tainted by evil and tragedy, but one etched on our lives for good. (easy to remember too 😀).

Regular followers probably know that as Mrs Phil & I approach our 30th anniv & how a certain Big C has tried to wield the scythe, we continue to live & love. Evidence today as she chatted to the local hospice rep, “I’m Ok, I woke up this morning so all is good”. Says it all ❤️xx

@VinylCarBooty I’ve done that walk to Thorpeness and back a few times. Usually in winter and with a gale coming off the sea.
