Just been told about a conference where in the lunch break they offered free winter flu vaccines to any attendees who hadn’t had one - brilliant conference freebie!

More generally, wherever you are in the world: if you have kids’ toys, books, clothes or anything else in just-about-giftable condition that you were thinking of decluttering some time soon, please do it now, this week ideally, and get them to your local charity shop.

It is the book birthday of children's book 'Where the Wild Things Are'
This was published #OTD in 1963.
It’s also world kindness day.. I’m sure there’s a moral here somewhere…
