Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

So what was the big topic that caused this? Gaza? Climate change? Economic stability? Seagulls!!!!! 😳🙄🙈

Took little T to ‘The Night Garden’ live show yesterday. Not sure I’ll ever recover. 1/2 the audience arrived late. Kid behind vomited. Kid beside shat themself. People eating smelly food all around. Got mugged at the merch stand. Little T loved it (although he keeps talking about the smell/noise) 🤢

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

Today was annual leave and self care day. Self care in this house typically involves hair dye or ink and needles. Today was the latter (although there’s a whole evening ahead). Massive thanks to Lauren at Brass Buddha in Tranent who always has blown me away with her talent. #tattoo #selfcare

Went on a writing retreat this week. Love them for their balance of productivity and restoration. The wonderful facilitator caught the attendees during their down time ……… #BigKidAtHeart #AnimalTherapy #NeverGrowUp

A microscopic Tardigrade (water bear), walking across a glass slide. Extremely resilient, they can survive decades without food or water and can survive in direct exposure to space.

What a day! Delighted to say I successfully defended my PhD and passed with minor corrections. So incredibly grateful for the most amazing examiners and for my wonderful director of studies and IPC who made the day such a memorable one. ❤️

Been drinking a lot of this cordial. Bottle said 1:4 with water but I found it a bit weak so pouring a solid 1:3. Husband tasted it last night & looked like he was going to be sick. On revision of the instructions it’s actually suppose to be 1:14 cordial:water. My sweet tooth/bad eyes strike again 😂

Home from holiday at 4:30 last night. At the vets before 5pm with a very sick cat. Not even 24 hours later and I’m £600 down and waiting to bring her home to palliate. 18 years old and she’s still bringing the drama. 🐈 Whatever time she has left will be filled with lots of cuddles and dreamies ❤️

Yesterday I chucked on my dungarees as I was examining & planned to change into my scrubs when I got to work. Plans changed & I got to play a 12 year old patient in the OSCE. 3 people assumed my dungarees were a character outfit 😂😂🙈 Nope just a middle age woman who hasn’t grown up 🤣

Got a gentle tap from Little T in the early hours to tell me all his bogies were gone & he could breathe. He then advised me he had stuck them all to my shoulder 😳🙄🙈😂 99.9% of the time grand-parenting is a joy. Then there’s these moments 😂

This is who runs this account

Having myself a wee sing song in the car and my watch started buzzing. Turns out I’m a danger to myself (we always knew this). Thank you Mozart and your Queen of the night aria 😂😂 🎵 🎶

I saw this set up earlier in the week and was totally blown away with how realistic it was. Amazing work @melbax.bsky.social we (and the students) are so lucky to have you in the team ❤️

Them: “you must have learned so much doing a PhD” Me: “it’s not over yet but let me present to you a small selection of my top tier procrastination poorly disguised as life changing hobbies”

We’re going to need a chart like this for the UK at some point… or is there one already #IDSky

So my neighbours car alarm has been going off up to 5 times an hour for over 24 hours now (nice wee break when they were away during the day). All last night it was on and off, and tooting away again tonight. At what point do I actually say something? They are lovely but I really need some sleep.

Apparently laughing and saying “I use to do that as a kid” is not what people want to hear when a film about Dahmer is on 😂 🤷🏻‍♀️

If a adult victim of sexual assault isn't sure if they want police involvement, they can (UK) still self-refer to Sexual Assault referral centre: forensic evidence can be collected and stored for up to two years. Also opportunity to chat through the options and get important medical help. #AWSEMConf

If someone (an idiot) had drawn on themselves to try out placements for new tattoos & had used a sharpie instead of a skin pen (an idiot with terrible eyesight), what would be the quickest way to remove this?

See a tattoo; post a tattoo

Super excited to be listening to this new release today and can’t wait till it tours the UK. Amazing work Tomas and team. Just phenomenal 🥰

I was considering writing some thoughts to help cis people understand what's going on and what's needed... but I see who likes my posts about trans news and I can extrapolate who doesn't, so what's the point? Other than a very few allies who already know the things, who's going to read it?

Today it seems we all need to be reminded of what is really happening here. Credit: @adamtots.bsky.social

NEWS: Scientists have mapped parts of Britain at risk of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which has become a growing health problem in Europe. Cases are rare here but climate and land use changes could increase risk. Read more: www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med... 1/ 🧪

🦌 Deer are the main hosts of adult ticks. Using wildlife surveillance data & modelling, the team mapped suitability for TBEV in Britain, identified key drivers linked to exposure in deer & created risk maps to guide surveillance & intervention. Paper: www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2... 2/

Ok BSky do your thing. Top tips to get HRT patches to stick. So far the following has been tried: Clean/dry skin Exploitation/shave Heating with hairdryer Multiple locations Every time I have a flush they come off. I won’t stop having them until they start working. Vicious cycle. #menopause #hrt

Fabulous afternoon bringing together advanced practice students from Scotland and the US. Exciting, engaging, conversations and lots of future plans for more collaborative learning. ❤️
