My drs surgery has changed the appointment system yet again ('new & improved triage system' apparently) & I'm fuming at how complicated it is. Its an online system & you can only fill in a 'request' between 7.30 & 11 or 2 & 5. Never thought I'd day this but bring back e-consult!

We have lost 60% of our public toilets in the last decade. This affects the quality of life of so many people - we need them back!

I had a great day at Euston Fire Station Open Day yesterday - if you've never been to your local station, check it out. Firefighters love to show you around & tell you about what they do & lots are of architectural interest too.

To see what's been lost see here. I was at a dinner at Clothworkers Hall a few years ago - it seems crazy to demolish a substantial, functioning building that tells its own story about the post-Blitz re-building of London. issuu.com/clothworkers/d…

It was fabulous & the Grace Williams concerto was a revelation. I had never heard of her - but what an amazing piece!

This was a lovely , joyous & moving as it is at its best. The loss of her father was particularly raw. My great grandfather also just walked out on his family one day when my grandmother was a young child. The scar it leaves on a family is immense.

My current museum is closed for redevelopment but breastfeeding was very welcome in all my previous museums and I ensured that FOH staff were clear on our policy. As a bfing mother myself I often fed my babies in museums & am pleased to say I never had any problems.
