Four years ago today I had a right total hip replacement for a congenital hip problem & arthritis, aged 50. My surgery was totally transformational, a diagnosis that was nearly career ending for a nurse, fixed thanks to my fabulous Orthopaedic Consultant Simon Hoskinson East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust

Great feature on BBC Breakfast on volunteers in the NHS highlighting their contribution & value. The sunshine yellow t shirts are a great idea too #NHS75

Great to see @philhornbyitv on The Last Word tonight, interesting guests & discussion on the evidence supporting the ULEZ extension, the impact on health & climate emergency versus the impact of the current cost of living crisis

Awful commute from E Sussex today. 2.5 hours this morning to Woolwich due to biblical rain & flooded roads. Tonight narrowly avoided a nasty head on collision by ditching into the verge, avoiding a driver on my side of the road. Rather shook up, but car & I are still in one piece

Welcome to ā€˜Costa del Eastbourne’ the ā€˜Sunshine Coast’. This is not your average July weather …….. rain, wind, only 17 degrees. The sea, 20 paces from my house is wild

Eastbourne is known as the ā€˜Sunshine Coast’ but this is not standard ā€˜August’ weather, heavy rain & wild wind all night = zero sleep, I am so 🄱

Watched GBBO, simply joyous !. Decided to watch Celebrity SOS as an old friend is a contestant ….. brave or mad to participate? I can’t actually decide. Is this really acceptable prime time TV viewing ?

Race across the world …… who would I take as my partner? I would say my Dad because he’s ā€˜better than good’ at everything but my Mum, who is my fiercest critic has an unrivalled determination & is a ā€˜completer finisher’. I’d still take my Dad to save my sanity & ensure it’s fun

I’m going to take a bit of a break from X for the festive period. It feels like the right time to have a bit of a reset, chill out & avoid the ā€˜almost constant’ negativity about working in the NHS. Wishing you all a lovely Christmas & I’ll be back in 2024!

A very scary commute home Woolwich to Eastbourne 63 miles which took 3 hours. Blocked drains, flooding ++, drivers acting like the roads are an F1 track!. I’ve never felt more grateful to land on my drive, having previously had a nasty car accident in 2012 in similar conditions

Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne, it’s rained but it’s sunny now, 9 degrees but not chilly. Time for some R&R #annual leave
