This strips you of any self-pity pretty quickly.

Thanks @tomcoates for sharing.

And yet another helpless but heartfelt thanks to @NHSuk, @NHSMillion, @sbattrawden, @doctor_oxford and everyone else giving their all on our behalf.

Totally possible. It is far harder, I think, to explain simple things. You have less room for manoeuvre, different metaphors, analogies, methods and the like before you get to "It just is." Either that, or you need a far, far deeper understanding than most of us have.

Both proud and depressed by this.

My dad, who is 73, has just WhatsAppโ€™d the set-up heโ€™s made for giving his lectures in Oxford.

Makes me feel like my lessons are something out of Youโ€™ve Been Framed
