We have a dedicated space (relatively roomy) for resident Doctors on our ward, and a Registrars office (a cubby hole) in our office block.
However, I have had to fight tooth & nail many times to protect these spaces.
Always seen as a luxury, which it definitely is not.
I’ve blinked and my baby son is 10, I had to buy him cricket kit to play with a proper hard ball.
Bat, pads, gloves, spikes, thigh guard, arm guard, box, and a bag (£150).
Time really does fly!!
It was a strange afternoon sat in the home end watching my beloved @lfcr.bsky.social
Was an effort not to sing along or celebrate Trent’s goal.

Dulux colours that don’t exist, but should.

X is a mess
Has Bluesky filled the void?
Interested to know…

Love sports!
I play badminton 🏸 for a club. The club nights are intense. You can end up playing >80% of the time.
I would wholeheartedly recommend badminton as a way of staying fit!
Perfect day of test cricket for India
Jaiswal 🏏💯
Kohli 🏏 💯
Then Bumrah taking 2️⃣ wickets
Siraj getting one
Terrible day for Australia
It isn’t rocket science, pay & treat staff well - they’re happier & more productive.
There is evidence that a standard 4 day working week is cost effective.
Yet so many in this country including the right wing press dismiss this & call it woke.
Utterly baffling

My patient owns a multi-million pound business.
He was telling me that allowing staff to work flexibly, finish early on Fridays and paying them more than “standard pay”…
Productivity & retention is higher, sickness rates much lower. These benefits exceed the costs

Earlier this year I purchased new sunglasses with a brown graduated lenses.
Not sure I have captured it well with my phone camera (and it has over-corrected the colour of the sky) but it gives everything a sepia tint, makes the world seem warmer & more beautiful!
Oysters aren’t to everyone’s taste - however for those who do like them… The ones from Cap Ferret are exceptional 🇫🇷 ☀️ 🦪

After watching our IMT trainee examine a patient for PACES preparation, I was reminded of a piece I write >10 years ago.
Hawks and Doves
It is is the excellent “The MRCP Paces handbook” by Dr Saira Ghafur & colleagues.
Where my homies at?

I’m in France 🇫🇷
Travel from Bordeaux airport the Bordeaux central €8 for the family. 30 mins. Our train trip to Arcachon (1 hour journey) later today is costing €25 for the family.
We are being ripped off for public transport in the 🇬🇧
Thanks for the love Ahmed
