I thought I’d pick up where I left off. But I won’t ever be the same. Not ever again.

For all of us children who miss our dads
(Because we will always be their children…)
I hope this day is a reminder of the gift of having an incredible father.
It is one of life’s greatest blessings,
and a legacy we must treasure and pass on.

At the half way mark of #couchto5k
Half is more than a quarter and it’s more than none. Having started with 60s runs I’m now at 5 min runs x 3.
I’m also walking to complete 5 actual km as soon as the routine is done so I can eventually run 5km distance. 4.5 weeks to go. Onward!

Care work is some of the most physically and emotionally skilled work anyone could do. People who deliver care should be highly trained, fully skilled and be working in the context of a respected industry. Which also values the armies of unpaid carers who are the backbone of our entire nation.
The idea care work is 'low-skilled' permeates everything about recruitment, pay, respect and (lack of) professionalisation of this sector and is both a disgrace to the way we see care, and a laughable suggestion if you've ever done paid or unpaid care work news.sky.com/story/foreig...
'Crushing blow' for care homes as they face ban on overseas recruitment
The government has announced measures to reduce the number of low-skilled workers coming to the UK by about 50,000.

Once again everyone will pay the price for a govt that refuses to confront the trade-offs it faces. Failing to fix or pay for social care not only makes social care worse, it makes local govt and the NHS worse. I suspect voters will care more abt that than 50k off net migration via care visas.

The first of my Dad’s roses blossomed in our garden this week. The fragrance was heavenly. Their beauty reminded me of his love and care for them, how he shared them with everyone, celebrating their brief lives so they could bring joy to as many as possible by gifting them to everyone he could.
