These were the scenes on picket lines across Wales as nurses staged their first strike

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 7 years, since 10 May 2015 (via @twi_age@twitter.com).

#Alevels #AlevelResultsDay2022 You will be okay. You are enough. You are loved

I'm just tired of this echo chamber that doesn't seem to achieve anything tangible. Those few of you who know me in real life know where I can be found in the unlikely event that you want me.
Sorry for being down - I'm okay in myself, really. Wishing you all well.

My #writing pitches fall into a black hole, and the same half a dozen people respond to my tweets (and I am grateful to them) despite #fbf and #socialistsunday efforts.
All in all, I'm utterly disenchanted with everything beyond my four walls, so I'm taking a #Twitter break.

Neither @UKParliament@twitter.com nor @WelshGovernment@twitter.com are going to shift from the paltry pay "rises" to public sector workers, least of all #NHS #nurses - they know we have a sense of duty. Our union is too 'apolitical' to call for a strike. Even @UKLabour@twitter.com now frowns on industrial action.

IMO @RishiSunak@twitter.com and @trussliz@twitter.com are no improvement on Johnson and I have little hope of 10 gammons in the Home Counties choosing the lesser of two evils.
Brexit is a disaster.
The Tories are not going to do anything to alleviate the #CostOfLivingCrisis - why would they?

"And the moment that you came to change my life,
Use life, burn my heart, and make me smile."

18 years ago today, Lola's Theme was #1 in the UK singles chart.
18 years ago Lolo was born and 'turn(ed) my world around."

I was about to leave for work when the police knocked. Youths last night were spray painting on a row of cars, including mine.
Either they're not terribly bright, or they really hate Ryan. #Caernarfon

An orange car with a graffiti tag 'Ryan' spray-painted on it.

Rare proper anxiety dream about being late for work (by 5hrs) because I was watching a prize-giving ceremony. I am grateful for my alarm waking me. Unless it didn’t and this is part of the dream...

17 has had 'a friend' over today. I gave fair warning that I was returning home from work earlier than expected. Still here, innocently playing video games.
Meanwhile, Sidney the #Frenchie is quite beside himself with excitement.

#NHS pay rise AfC England below rate of inflation again. What a surprise. What will happen in #Wales? A virtual George Cross won't pay my petrol and utilities hikes.

Sidney the #Frenchie keeps farting. I'm scared that the gas will spontaneously ignite.

Lazy retweet for #followbackFriday 😁 Read my bio and tweets and, if you think we might rub along nicely, welcome aboard!

If you're happy and you know it, follow me.
If you're creative and you know it, follow me.
If you're leftish and you know it, and think Tories are below nits,
If you're caring and you know it, follow me.

Unfortunately my petition about #WJEC #alevels2022 exams this summer was rejected and will not be heard by #Welsh govt. Disappointing that it had so few signatures after the dissatisfaction expressed on here. It's going to be a long wait and last minute clearing choices for many.

Wifi at home has more or less given up unless I sit by the router, so I'm missing lots of stuff on here. Anything happened?

RT @jayrayner1@twitter.com

I don't want to overplay my hand, but my tweet announcing I'm running for leader of the Tories currently has six times as many likes as that by @PennyMordaunt@twitter.com, nine times as many as @trussliz@twitter.com's seven times @TomTugendhat@twitter.com's and about 100 x @Jeremy_Hunt@twitter.com's #FondantFanciesForAll twitter.com/jayrayner1/status/

I deserve some kind of reward for managing my first day back at work after annual leave with both a migraine and toothache.
And I'm home alone.
