Really interested in how we ensure unpaid carers are on the radar in thinking about employment policy but also the opportunities that devolution can bring for local carer services.

Schools, sensory overwhelm, "stop *being* so sensitive". So many of my friends raising untraumatised ND kids right now. It's game-changing.

Been tucked up with my doggo in my van, writing. Getting away really gets me over any procrastination humps. Distractions become manageable, the open air clears my head and I can think better. Long walks. Early nights. Blissful.
