Today's therapy pet. Ch Burnthwaites Delores (Lola) such a good girl for her first time in the hospice.

[Carol Burton 💙 @w31kuo]

Yesterday's therapy pet not so easy to see as she would head straight for under the reclining chair. But happily giving me purrs in the box was my beloved Imp Gr Ch, Imp Gr Pr and Imp Gr MC Weikuo Black Rani - my soul cat.

Another dog to give me therapy today. Nessa not used to these settings, but was as good as gold and just gave me her love. The joy of a hospice is that they are allowed in to see you.

My own therapy dog came to give me a visit at the hospice today. Such a long time since she has been into this type of setting but she was really good. So happy to see all staff.

@BBCWomansHour When it works for you it's a wonderful system and it is hard to see that it could be perceived as forced for someone for whom it didn't work or from another type of society.

@thecoastguy Been struggling to eat and you do that to me 😂 and just about to eat eggs.

When the Govt says all over 60s vaccinated by end May... do they mean both doses or just first? Was stunned to hear there are more men under 40 in hospital than men and women over 80 combined.

@ShappiKhorsandi Don't want to cross the pot and have ginger twins, when different people pour from the teapot.

A truly staggering statistic from @Oxfam:

The wealth of ten of the world’s richest men has increased by more than £400bn during the pandemic – more than enough to vaccinate every person in the world.

1348 deaths from Covid announced today
6,586 deaths this week
More than 90,000 since my brothers death
Every one leaves a family devastated
Everyone was avoidable
The worst death rate in the world
There will be mourning
There will be loss
But there must, in time, be a reckoning

@upsetvictorians Poor girl, wasn't a looker!

@upsetvictorians One on the right is a man, or have I missed what a 'pit brow lass' is?

@JuliaHB1 you said it. You can’t hide from it. Own it!

Almost as if some people talked up an actually quite dull but functional trade arrangement into a symbol of strangled national identity to create an emotional narrative for political purposes.

Incredible as it may seem: Parliament has voted to prevent itself from scrutinising how Brexit is going, & closed down the committee that examines it:
And Brexit is an ever-deepening disaster which the 'government' is either purposely or impotently letting run out of control.

@ShappiKhorsandi @piersmorgan My granddaughter went to nursery for that one day. Resulted in 5 infections in the household!!!!

@BBCr4today @bbcnickrobinson Would help if the poor dog was being lured onto a bed big enough for him to sit on. @bbcnickrobinson needs a lot more training. It really isn't a difficult concept. Boundary games.
