The Circle of Life. Babysitting the grandson last night. Such a joy. He roared, pointed to the remote, pointed to the telly. Lion King it is then James!

Lots of discussions about avoiding falls this week with Helen Sanderson. My girls worry about my notoriously poor balance and meds I’m on can weaken bones- so I’m standing on one leg a lot! And doing lots of resistance and impact work!

I loved this podcast 👇
We want to champion the world changers, the people who make a big difference to disabled people and their families. On Today’s episode we celebrate just those people, and are delighted to talk to a real world changer - medical cannabis expert Hannah Deacon. www.bornattherighttime.com/the-skies-we...
The Skies We're Under Podcast - Born at the Right Time
In conversations with fellow parents, Rachel Wright hosts authentic, funny and sometimes sweary banter about a different kind of parenthood.

see also where 'social care for the elderly' sits here (tho I'm wondering what influence that phrasing has on people's response). This is a prompted poll (people choose from a list). Without a prompt (see IPSOS issues index) social care barely registers at all.
Britons’ big issues this week: cost of living tops the list again, followed by NHS & immigration - with small uptick in jobs & unemployment.

💷 Cost of Living 64%
🏥NHS 40%
🛃 Levels of immigration 30%
🛥️ Channel crossings 23%
🏘️Affordable housing 19%
🏢Jobs & unemployment 15%
