If you are not already following @pastpostcard.bsky.social, you are missing a treat. Here are the answers to the questions you will undoubtedly have.
Every so often it’s useful to answer some of the questions I get asked on here.
1. Yes they are.
2. Not the whole message, obviously.
3. In the garage, mainly.
4. No, it wouldn’t be practical. Sorry.
5. Purely random.
Cheers, T.

Thank you @drrachelclarke.com for amplifying your voice for our sector. Fundraising should be to enhance care & our spaces, not pay for the core specialist provision. We receive 34,000 calls a year to our 24/7 advice line: I’m not sure everyone realises the scale of what hospices are providing.

One of the reasons why Finland is the happiest country in the world is that the public broadcaster Yle sends a live feed of the first 8 weeks of a pack of puppies every fall. It’s already the fifth edition of ”Finland’s most therapeutic live feed”.

Thanks to Britten Pears Arts, I’ve seen other music projects in local prisons and it never fails to be incredibly powerful.

The National Audit Office has published a report on the financial sustainability of England's adult hospices, calling it a matter of "national importance".
It says the Govt lacks clarity on how its funding impacts hospices as demand for end of life care rises.

As the child of Shields parents - albeit South & not North - I feel surprisingly emotional about Sam Fender’s Mercury win. I never lived in Shields but that is our heartland and I recognise the big messy love and fierce loyalty. Well done Sam - or as my mum would’ve said: “Canny job” 🩶

First day back to work after some annual leave. We had a lovely dog sitter called Annie to stay who kindly left us some dahlias to greet us on our return.
May you all meet an Annie today.

@willdalrymple.bsky.social - this pays tribute to your grandmother’s report. Here in Suffolk, I remind people of her critical contribution to the development of youth clubs in UK. I did look into a blue plaque for her but she lived for so long, we have to wait another decade to be eligible!
Britain's youth clubs have been quietly decimated. What's most revealing is that few seem to care | John Harris

If anyone lives in Bath, pls will you pop into Mr B’s Emporium & encourage them onto Bluesky? I think they’d find a welcome audience here. We love our personal bibliotherapist subscription! Never been in person but feel like old friends. This month’s pick for us is by @rebeccamakkai.bsky.social 📚
My amazing kids got me a Book Spa gift at Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights in Bath. What a treat! The lovely team there fed me tea & cake, nattered to me about my book tastes & then brought me a stack of books they thought I would like! Heaven! Reader, I bought several!
