I’ve enjoyed my day off today. Other than some laundry I’ve done very little. Watched some #Netflix, done some #crochet. I’ve needed a day like today for a while. A bit of time to recharge. Doing nothing is tiring though, and I think an early night may well be on the cards.

There’s a man currently in my house, measuring up for a valuation. Benedict is most perplexed. He’s not sure what men actually are.

There are no easy games from here I guess, and #Bayern will certainly test us in the quarters. To be the best, you have to beat the best of the rest. I’m still confident.

I am, as ever, late to the party. Currently watching #TheFall on #Netflix. It’s very dark, but really quite good. I’m up to S02E01 and enjoying it.

For three years I’ve been trying to get onto this training, and today - finally - I am a fully certified #CISM Practitioner. 🙌🏼

There are a number of significant inaccuracies in this story, but I can tell you one thing for definite: she’s still there.

Mother of suicidal girl held in locked hospital room ‘frightened’ for child’s life https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/feb/07/mother-of-suicidal-girl-held-in-locked-hospital-room-frightened-for-childs-life?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

“For the next financial year, which begins in April, the government is also now expected to go above its previous offer of a 3.5% pay rise.”

5% has been mooted for 23/24, with a £1400 one-off payment for 22/23.

Whilst 5% would of course be nice, it’s still far less than the 18% the unions started from, and still way below inflation.

Even if the unions accept it, they still have to put it to us, the members, and I’m not sure I and my #nursing colleagues would accept that.
