The aridity of our chalklands laid bare when you strip it back to waterways. Avon, Test, Itchen, Kennet as lifelines very apparent here.

A wonderful gem of a piece of writing from Prof Parker about learning in geriatric medicine and how to train and inspire younger colleagues.

Sometimes, in the noise and the haste of life, it does your soul good to just stand in the quiet and stare at an open road stretching through the fields of green, full of possibilities. If only reality didn't call quite so loudly with work and bills and laundry.

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion

There’s a blackbird in full, rich, carefree song; in classic pose with tail cocked, silhouetted against ashen sky. It’s pouring with rain. It’s pretty much a perfect moment.

Driven by mysterious damage to photographic plates, Nikola Tesla began his investigation of x-rays (at that time still unknown and unnamed) in 1894.

This shadow-graph of a human foot in a shoe was obtained by Tesla in 1896 with x-rays.

Eilidh 🦀 I have spent the last couple of decades being “difficult” about this!

“Does Mrs A have capacity?”
“Yes! She made a choice between coffee & tea just 5 minutes ago”

“Trish! Don’t be like that. You know what I meant.”

“Ah yes, you meant complex decisions around discharge plans?”
