Adulthood is being conscripted into the Forever War on Laundry and then serving on the front line in perpetuity

How many loads of washing can you do before you physically die of exhaustion induced by laundry?

Right so now I’ve read the Elon Musk Biography… This is my next pick: Anyone read it? #booksky #bookclub #AI

Freshly baked Iranian bread and dough (yoghurt and mint drink) 👌🏾

You’ll never guess what book I’m reading now…

Older Sons decided to inform me he’s living with me until he’s 39 years old Younger son tells me when he leaves he’ll come back and take me to the cafe every week

Up bright and early to prepare tens of cheese and pineapple cocktail sticks 🫠 Wish me luck

It’s Sabzi time again The boys requested ‘Iranian breakfast tomorrow’ We have our freshly baked Lavash and Sangak. I’ve cleaned the herbs and readied the stocks of cheese, and cherry jam, honey and nuts. Sabzi is drying on the counter… Then Ab Goosht for dinner 🙌🏽

What have I done wrong to it…? 😢

So friends What do you do when a book doesn’t pull you in, two nights I’ve not reached for it. I do like it but just not enough to automatically reach for it. Persist? Or move on? Or have a break with something else and come back to it?

I’m left wondering this evening how one ‘morally violates’ the Panama Canal…

🌟 Intro 🌟For new friends 🙏🏻 I’m Roshana 👋🏽 I’m a Trauma and Orthopaedic surgeon A mum of 2 An advocate for fairness, equality and culture change I spend my time on here posting mini-book reviews, nature pics, random life updates, some opinions on medical things. I’d like to find my tribe here 🙏🏻

THE ISLAND OF MISSING TREES Book Review 📚 Right. I’m find this one hard to explain There’s a film, Encanto, it’s a nice film. But it hit hards to one specific group of people…children of immigrants. Indeed I spoke with one of the production crew who said this was exactly the intention…1/

BUTTER Book Review 📚 Ah man… what can I say about this book. First it took me a little while to get started, but by the time I got about 20% of the way in it was a ‘couldn’t put down’ situation Without ruining the book, the various topics she interlaces and the little literary interludes…1/

Next book: The Island of Missing Trees - Elif Shafak Here pictured perched next to my on-call room hospital bed Anyone read this? What did you think. #booksky #cyprus #novel

Jaysus, opened Twitter a sec ago and it’s literally a cesspit of far right misery isn’t it? Anywho here’s a beautiful picture from today to cleanse our minds

Once a medical student who did biomechanics sports research on Semi-Professional Golfers I dreamed one day of being a knee, sports and reconstruction surgeon Today I was awarded a @BritOrthopaedic Travelling Fellowship to get me one step closer In shock but so so grateful and excited 🙏🏻

Next up… Butter 📚📙 My little buddy has let me start reading the first few pages on our coffee date ☕️ #Booksky

Done 📚 Honestly, it was a slow starter for me. As I started, I was worried that the complexity and detail of her prose would feel too taxing to enjoy as a relaxation exercise, and it’d feel like a piece of work I had to concentrate to decipher… 1/

Not a bad view of London from the operating theatre today #surgeon #NHS #London

I’m still going with this… Almost done!

Someone asked me recently if I was worried about the whole ‘approaching 40 thing’ with a grimace on their face My answer surprised them Not at all: I have wonderful children, an amazing husband, I live in the best city in the world, have an interesting career, my health and things I enjoy 1/

Beautiful day in London Town today 🌞

Almost slipped over 4 times in the kids playground Beware all…

We bought her a bean bag and she refuses to leave

It’s here… And I’ve started 🌍

I haven't drilled down on the details of this survey. But even as anecdotal evidence of economic assumptions, it is clear that "relative deprivation" theory needs to be understood alongside a new "bubble" of economic expectations that will never be reached by most of us. www.cnbc.com/2024/11/22/s...

Uh oh feeling the sinuses blowing up… To steroid or not to steroid That is the question…

So lovely to see all the ‘old faces’ on here, no offence, I class myself in that too In the good ole days of MedTwitter If you one of us, are here and I’ve missed you, wave 👋🏽

They weren’t ‘hours from’ running out of gowns. They did run out of gowns. People were using bin bags Matt. We (Heroes) were transporting loads of PPE from cosmetics companies to health premises who had NOTHING

A truly wonderful opening paragraph from PA News.

Top three ortho pearls for non-orthopods: 1. Orthogonal (perpendicular) radiographs of a joint are a best practice. 2. X-rays and adequate history + exam should come before an MRI. 3. Surgeons operate on patients not pictures. Patients rarely "need" surgery because of a finding on imaging.

Some may have wondered why I was so quiet on Twitter Honestly, because I’ve been so busy. I am an advocate for women in surgery, but I never said it was easy I measured my goals and priorities and decided I needed to get my head down & drive hard toward the end, for my sanity! I’m so close now 🙏🏻

Gisele Pelicot's name will always be remembered by every feminist. What an incredible selfless service she has given us all by taking on this trial (in all senses) in public. La honte doit changer de camp - The shame must switch sides

Little rotund red breasted Robin pottering around in the garden Let’s see your ‘winter nature’ snaps… #gardensky #naturesky #birdsky

The Onion. 👏😂

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day. Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

Bought myself some bugle crisps earlier whilst I suffered the swimming lesson run… Hands down the worst crisps I have ever eaten Utterly tasteless 0/10

Ohhh yey Ok I’m going to do this…. I warn you… my taste is someone eclectic 😬 #Book #BookSky #BookChallenge Day 1

I followed a book people starter pack and it’s bringing me infinitely more joy than the medicine chat…

Oh bloody ell the 5 yr old wants sticky boots from Santa… to walk on the ceiling Anyone got any bright ideas? #xmas

Time for Bluesky #Bookclubsky ? Finally got round to reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow Finished within 48 hours. Absolutely loved it. Loved the character development and the parallels between creating games and the authors own writing. Also the reference era obvs. Thoughts? #books

Well #Cannes was glorious The views from the hotel were spectacular

Little bit o’ minor glam tonight for dinner Incredible restaurant in a little nook called Le Pompon in #Cannes Hugely recommend! But need to book in advance ++ #travel #foodie
