Sam Easterby-SmithMy awesome wife is an #NHS nurse.
Tonight she was an hour late coming home at the end of her 13 hour shift, because there was nobody to hand over to.
She was looking after 8 patients today. That’s 7.5 minutes per patient per hour.
For £16.84 per hour.
This is normal - having got gradually worse over the past years. It’s breaking her spirit and ultimately putting patients at risk.
I will be with her on the picket line. 💪 #NHSStrikes #NurseStrikes #solidarity

Folklore, Food & FairytalesDecember 13
On this day I feel I must present saffron buns which are baked for St Lucia Day in several Scandinavian countries. These buns - (Lussekatter) are supposed to resemble cat’s tails wrapped around each other. St Lucia is celebrated as a symbol of light in the dark of the year.

Northumbrian StoriesI hope you're not all sick of these by now, but the world looks like a fairytale outside. Freezing hard again, with more potential snow overnight, then sun and frost tomorrow too.
