I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this article by Merope Mills in yesterdays Guardian since I read it. I can’t get my head around it. The cruelty and bad much is everywhere: 1) they were on their first day of a family holiday - how unbelievably cruel that Martha should come off her bike on a patch of sand and land on the point of a handlebar, right in her pancreas. ( the irony in all of this being that before they’d caught their collective breaths, another much younger girl skidded on the same patch of sand, wobbled, and went on. ( there but for the grace of god go some…) The article really starts to kick in, though when, after 3 or 4 transfers which ultimately landed Martha at King’s College University hospital, where you’d think you’d be safe, the nightmare was only just beginning. The rest of the article - I’m sorry I can’t link to it but it is in yesterday’s Guardian Sept 3 - is like some kind of torturer’s fantasy. Martha gets worse and worse and starts bleeding, wheezing, basically showing ALL the symptoms of sepsis but BOTH doctors, having decided it is not sepsis, refuse to change their minds and wont even give poor Martha access to the ICU! Her parents spent several days in what I can only imagine must be the worst torture ever - watching the love of their lives become more and more sick and begging, pleading, the powers that be to even look but being ignored. This piece has had me on the floor. Merope, I don’t know you but by God you had balls to write this and if it teaches at least one patient advocate to do whatever it takes to override doctors with God complexes then it was worth it. I am so, so sorry about your loss. It’s slightly different in the US - in that most doctors are private companies abs can be brought down by a single failure/lawsuit. But it shouldn’t matter. We need to be able to speak up. The image of Merope and her husband asking again and again if it might not be sepsis to be met with shrugs and stares will stay with me for the rest of my days. #ripmartha

My dear, dear friend, natashahenstridge. I am so terribly sorry and sad for what you must be feeling right now. I think I only met him once or twice with you but I know you loved each other so very very much and even though your marriage came to an end you must be in pieces right now. You are one of the nicest people in show-business and I just want to hug you. Also - he was a talent like you. I always expected big things for him. I’m so very sorry my dear sweet Tash. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 #RIPDARIUS

People keep asking for Emma updates. As you know I am technically challenged ( have you seen my Face-Tune attempts? 😂😂) so my dear dear friend ladyvictoriahervey did this for me. I love it!! ( Emma doesn’t seem to give a shit but my 9 year old told me that dogs can’t see phone screens? I said WHAT? Is this true?? ) #cutepuppies #shelterdog #emma

How is it possible that Aug 15th is BACK to school day? Shouldn’t it be in September? Anyway this is the pose my little one did BEFORE entering her new class. Once she got inside and shook hands with her new teacher and was shown her seat she got very very quiet. And when I left and said ‘love you baby!’ She just put her head down. I feel terrible. My eldest went through this at the same age. I guess at least I didn’t call her by her baby name which I once accidentally did with Bea-I mean Ella! Love to you all. #larentrée
