@halfironmum Do you have to wear tights in this warm weather? How much leg are you going to show and could you go bare-legged with strappy sandals in this warm weather? Apologies if this is stepping over the line of conservative dress! I agree with the respondent who said buy several pairs!

Thought it was really important that the junior doctors have their say. Covered the night shift for them. £4.5k tax bill feels like a particularly evil game of monopoly though.

@dr_musgrave Not watching the closing ceremony, but I wonder if they have been giving them out. The filming of the selfies taken on the podium seems to have exactly the same phone.

Realised last night whilst on call and working an acute medicine ward, that I was also working during the London 2012 opening ceremony. Didn't quite have the FOMO last night that I did in 2012...

Appreciate that we're a bit late to the party, but went to see the @NTLive production of Nye (with @michaelsheen) about the live of Aneurin Bevan and the birth of the NHS at @derbyquad today and thought it fantastic.

@Cooper00Nicola I know them. I once had an audition for a choir (in the US) where you weren't allowed to say which part you sang - they placed you according to your vocal range. I had to sing God Save the Queen 6 times in different keys for them to work it out - I mixed up the verses...

@DGlaucomflecken @MrAndrewCotter shout out for another chap who makes amazing videos and who also loves tennis?

@DGlaucomflecken What did she think of the cucumber?

@amberbeads Cards are always lovely. If you can remember the name of the doctor and address it personally, it means a lot more.

On my way to night shift yesterday, telephone call from @labour party asking me to canvass for the last week pre-election. Had to point out that I'm covering nights for #JuniorDoctorsStrikes & so this needs to be sorted before I can do anything for the Labour party!

@Cooper00Nicola I once worked for a consultant who was about to perform a PR on a patient. I was mortified that this was a job that any one of the team could do, but he explained that he often did himself this to demonstrate how important the examination is. It is lesson I have tried to learn...

[Dr Ruth Willott @ruth_willott]

@halfironmum I wondered when this idea would strike!

[Dr Ruth Willott @ruth_willott]

@halfironmum I'm wondering when to try exercise again...
