Odd that just looking at this little fur shape should bring such inner contentment. Cats have really nailed this haven’t they?

There are certain days in history that change everything. 28 June, 1916 was one of those. In the early hours of that day my Great, Great Uncle Thomas Wilson clambered from his trench in front of Hairpin Craters, not far from Hulluch, as part of a raid on the German lines. 1/ #ww1

Language is the essence of understanding our decisions. ‘Assisted dying’ is the service currently provided by palliative care, mostly provided by underfunded hospices, supported not by state but by charitable donations. Assisted suicide, state sanctioned killing is different.

5 Apr 1968. F/L Al Pollock flies Hunter under Tower Bridge in protest at lack of celebration of 50th anniversary of formation of RAF. He also “visited” Houses of Parliament and several airfields including USAF. Arrested on landing!

In 2022 a competition was launched for designs for an Edinburgh statue of maternal health pioneer Elsie Inglis - and then suddenly cancelled when a male sculptor was announced. Now his plans have been unveiled and the row reignited… Me for the Observer: theguardian.com/global/2025/ma…

Edinburgh has a statue deficit. With 79 statues of men, 15 of animals, and only 8 of women, it's time for change - could this statue be the start? A planning application (25/01053/FUL) has been submitted to honor Dr. Elsie Inglis with a statue on the iconic Royal Mile, opposite…

We're ridiculously excited to have acquired the archive of surgeon Helen McMillan, who became the third female Fellow @RCSEd in 1921. Her collection is a #WomenInSurgery treasure trove of photographs, letters, diaries & artwork. Just in time for #InternationalWomensDay!
