....and, no matter how many you manage to evict, there'll always be more crumbs getting themselves stuck in where you least expect them.
Hope you're back to health soon.

That & the war in Ukraine. plus with no legal right to food in the UK, there's a sense of sleepwalking into it. More's needed on the macro-front, talk of increasing 'dig for victory' allotment-style cultivation is all well & good but assumes people have the time & capacity to do that effectively.

You'd think WW2 & post- attention to domestic food production & reports would've done something but, here we are. Larger population, industrial agribusiness, reliance on big player retail sector's just-in-time supply chains, Brexit, job precarity, lack of agri-food sector labour, skills shortages...

Where Duolingo falls down: how I learned to speak Welsh with my mother The long read: Once violently defended from extinction, Welsh is still a part of daily life. By learning my family’s language, I hoped to join their conversation

"...John le CarrΓ© once wrote that the decision to learn a language is 'an act of friendship' It was this feeling – not functionality – that I was looking for."

Such cruelty in the name of.
Mme's mum was quick to share her memories of the kissing type treating others badly, being forgiven weekly & doing it again. And after she was signed out, there was a daily walk of shame sending her & her Jewish mate out of assembly in front of the whole school.

Mme's best mate was same, aged 5 oft told she was going to roast. Scared the heck out of Mme when she first heard her say that, so much so that she ran home to mum - who had been signed out of the Catholic church in Austria aged 6 when her parents divorced & understood completely.

We've tried Kipferl's cakes, wines & deli items, they deliver! The cakes are the closest Mme's had in the UK to those her Mutti used to make - and she studied at the Haushaltungsschule der Stadt Wien: Fachschule fur Grosskuchenbetrieb in the '30s. Excellent wines too!

Joint statement from the Refugee Councils of Great Britain on introduction of temporary 30-month refugee status - Refugee Council Reviewing refugee status every 30 months will create uncertainty and damage integration

Making refugee status temporary will only keep people trapped in uncertainty, weaken integration and cost up to Β£725 million.

Read our joint statement on these new asylum changes.

Indeed, hospital info sheets can tell you so much but, to manage things, it's really helpful to learn from shared experience.
