Good evening everyone!
Is anyone else feeling really quite touched by how many people turned out for last night's "Clap for the NHS" celebration?
It seems like one thing we can all unite on is our shared admiration of the NHS, more so now than ever.
Did your household take part? Would be great to hear how it unfolded in neighbourhoods up and down the country, and see any photos or links to videos you can share.

Hi Chloe
In my street everything was in full force but unfortunately for me at the time I had a seizure in terms of the compression of the nerve and took part from my own bed by using the right hand 🖐
It was great and well deserved for all in the NHS..
They are all amazing!
I couldn't agree more Jerry!
A few came out and clapped, a few with pots and pans 😂 but not as many as some places, we painted a rainbow to put up in our window, got very emotional this morning thinking of some of the doctor's I've seen. I'll never forget my GP Dr harries when I first had a breakdown and was so scared, didn't have a clue what was happening to me and my mum would take me to see him every week and he would just sit and talk about things and explain about how the brain works and how your brain needs time to replace enzymes and just made everything make a bit more sense, I'll always remember that ♥️
Thanks Mydexter, I’m OK now,
it’s an unpredicted symptom but I do know the severity of it depends on how much time I allocate for each task whether mental or physical.
For some reason my brain no longer likes doing anything but I do not give this bl00dy brain that option.
Yesterday I did some heavy gardening and had to bear the consequences. If I overdo an activity my brain does punish me and I know it is doing it to protect me from harm according to my Rhumatologist.
Sweet dream xx
i found it inspiring chloe. for me it had the bonus of being a real solidarity with neighbours moment. then seeing footage on tv made another bonus of being together with the whole country.
does anyone know if we're doing it again today?
Yes it looks like we're doing it again today!
This was posted on the BBC website today and other newspapers have written about it as well:
People across the UK are being urged to join in another national applause for health workers this evening.
Last week people around the country stood at their doorways and on their apartment balconies in a moving tribute to the NHS and care workers treating those affected by coronavirus.
And the woman behind Clap for our Carers, Annemarie Plas, who lives in south London, has called on the UK to do it again at 20:00 BST tonight - and every Thursday until the end of the pandemic.
thanks for letting me know, chloe. i'll be out there, clapping like a good'un and probably crying (a river) again.
be well.
