On a day like today it's worth remembering Dorothy Parker :

"I hate almost all rich people, but I think I’d be darling at it. At the moment, however, I like to think of Maurice Baring’s remark: “If you would know what the Lord God thinks of money, you have only to look at those to whom he gives it.” I realize that’s not much help when the wolf comes scratching at the door, but it’s a comfort."

Meanwhile at Kings College Hospital trials of a new roof-top outside ICU unit to allow patients time in the open air away from the inside of the hospital have started.

Allowing ICU patients the chance to be out in the fresh air & (re)experience the outside world, with (it is hoped) a major positive impact for their healing & well-being.

(I know when my wife was in hospital for 3 weeks it was the daily wheel around the grounds that kept her sane).

Sometimes it feels like the birds in my local park get tired of me trying to take photos of them while they’re high up in a tree or inside a thick bush so they just start posing in the open.

Like this robin: Ok, take a photo! Are you done? Good!
