So just doing some painting and had @mrjamesob on in the background on @YouTube. The subject of the #NHS came up, I had to stop painting as one of the phone-in voices seemed very familiar. It was the one and only Dr Mulligan.

Am so proud that he, and other #EIT workers took a stance against unsafe staffing levels for #ServiceUsers. We want a service fit for purpose and we want staff that feel safe and supported to do that.

Just been looking up tattoo ideas and thought about the motto connected to my surname โ€œTu ne cede meโ€ which translates to โ€œYield thou not to meโ€ which basically means not to give in to temptation. Very apt given Iโ€™ve been sober 10 months on Nov 1st.
