Maybe wise words!

Perfect, thank you

Dave Hill: Katie Lam should learn London's language Recent comments about the capital's school children's English skills suggest the Tory MP from Kent must try harder

Could Katie Lam identify the London schools where "more than three-quarters of children don’t speak English to a serviceable school standard". Well done to @davehillonlondon.bsky.social for giving Lam + CPS the chance to substantiate this claim at the Tory fringe

Toad shyly hides behind a rock to change into his bathing suit, while a naked Frog looks on. From "A Swim" In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*

Toad and Frog went down to the river. “What a day for a swim,” said Frog.

“Yes,” said Toad. “I will go behind these rocks and put on my bathing suit.”

Oh a small treat? Once a week? As society burns down around them? Good heavens where are my pearls

I wouldn’t let you get banned

No, it’s pretty crappy

Yes, that must be very hard. Tom has never been mentally unwell or had a neurodivergent diagnosis but when he was physically seriously unwell we really didn’t cope with me needing to look after him and me needing looking after at the same time. It got very tricky

Correct. Going north-south is nearly impossible. The best I can do is a very slow bus from Carmarthen to Aberystwyth, but I’d have to take the train to Carmarthen first. Once at Aberystwyth you can travel onwards quite easily

Its pointless encouraging people to drive less when public transport is so infrequent and unreliable

Plus every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the moment there are scheduled engineering works so rail replacement buses. I strenuously avoid going in on a Friday. I so miss TfL!

He had a year without work but that was more because I couldn’t find a contract. He’s happier when occupied

He drives. Less stressful. The trains here are just awful, I sort of dread going to meetings in person because there are so many delays and cancellations. I’ve put in 5 compensation claims this month and I only took 7 trips

Good for him!

Oh brilliant. We’re not getting out much as we are both working FT and I’m going an extra day a week. Plus Tom is working for a council in England and is away Sunday lunchtime until Tuesday evening. Next week he has to be there Wednesday and Thursday too

It was good to see you, how’s Dave?

So early!

Hi Karen! You accidentally mistyped the hashtag so not sure if @magicalbeing.bsky.social saw you. Sorry things are tough right now #MadSkyChat

I just chose mine because he was the only one taking NHS patients, but he’s stopped his NHS work so I’ve had to become a private patient anyway #MadSkyChat

What we get wrong about unpaid carers - Transforming Society The UK’s failure to provide universal social care, despite the immense value of unpaid care, reflects a deep political neglect and lack of recognition for carers' needs and rights.

Oh god yeah it would definitely have to be with someone very well-trained, experienced and knowledge about things like risk of psychosis

If there were a general election held tomorrow, 39% of 18-24 year olds would vote @greenparty.org.uk

OpenAI shares data on ChatGPT users with suicidal thoughts, psychosis The figure could mean potentially hundreds of thousands of users show signs of mental health distress weekly.

I’m ambivalent about my dentist but he is one of only 2 in town. Tom goes to one he really likes in the next town but it’s difficult to get to is like me you can’t drive #MadSkyChat

What time was that, Eva? I’m experiencing my yearly post-clock change amazement at how early the sun sets. 51 years old yet I’m always caught unawares

Not sure what would be different about that 😂 #MadSkyChat

Oh that’s great! I don’t think my hands are steady enough to do that, you’ve done a really good job
