Very different vibes from my niece & nephew! Nephew is learning about data & bar charts, we drew one to decide what to have for dinner. Niece has written a story about the dogs 🤦‍♀️ The dogs were being wee 💩 to be fair &major auntie points for being able to make a mini book!

So excited for the exhibition opening on Saturday so everyone can see the brilliant artwork by our awesome young folk!!! Scotland Versus Arthritis

Sometimes having #Arthritis is just crap & I feel a bit sorry for myself! Good & thorough app, but meds not doing what they need to! Do stay on 1 that kinda works or change to 1 that might work well but in 3-4 months 🧐 No steroid 💉 for relief because my blood pressures nuts😞

📣Audit Scotland has released a report stating that significant service transformation is required to ensure the financial sustainability of Scotland’s health service and calls on Scottish Government to develop a clear national strategy.
