May I refer you to Prior’s Rules?

1. Remember that “No” is a complete sentence.

2. Always know when your next lot of annual leave is.

3. No one ever said on their deathbed “I wish I’d spent more time at work”.

As I’m unlikely to get my twitter account back any time soon (if ever), here’s a #skywatch featuring a very big cactus.

Definitely one of the more random gig venues… The 16th hole.

How much dark chocolate do I need to eat to suppress my really irritating cough to avoid hacking my way through a presentation tomorrow morning?

I’ve known Samantha Black (@anaesthetistsb.bsky.social) for over a decade. She is standing for election to Council & will do a great job for all anaesthetists; she gets my vote. Please consider a vote for her when your email arrives. Her candidate statement is here:

The silence at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday was so profound. The only sounds were of the occasional bird, a young child crying and the electronic beeps of a phone notification (sigh, put it on silent). Thousands of people united in remembrance. Many paused again at eleven o’clock today.

It’s World Anaesthesia Day today.

Be nice to your anaesthetist; we have all the good drugs.

It’s changeover day when the doctors start/move jobs, so here’s a belated reminder of this gem from @drphiliplee1.bsky.social #MedSky

Today is International Paramedics Day, so a huge thank you to my friends and colleagues whether civilian, military or volunteers. Whether managing motorsport medical care, bringing me patients when I’m trauma team leading or teaching on the ATACC course, y’all rock.

The old and the new #skywatch.

I had a green light roll all the way to work on my ride in this morning. I still can’t decide if it’s a good omen or a portent of doom #skywatch #AnSky #MedSky.

The return of the commuting #skywatch. A beautiful morning for the ride to work.

It’s #NationalODP Day. For those of you who don’t know what Operating Department Practitioners do, let me explain...

It’s like having a second brain, a second pair of eyes and a second pair of hands. Thank you to my #ODP friends and colleagues who’ve made my job so much easier.

My peonies have faded even more. I’m not going to get much longer out of them.
May 13, 2025 at 9:59 PM
Yes, that is a cloudless #skywatch for this evening’s trip to Shucked at the Open Air Theatre.

My peonies have “faded” to a fabulous colour.

My garden smells of old-fashioned rose, jasmine and laundry drying in the sunshine.

Hurrah for peony season.

Today is the 80th anniversary of VE Day: a time to reflect on the courage, sacrifice and resilience that led to victory in Europe. We remember those who fought for freedom and the generations forever shaped by their legacy.
