What a selfish mother. I had measles as a4 year old (1961 no vaccine at the time) and I have had tinnitus ever since. As I have got older my hearing has worsened. I got off lightly- measles can carry much worse problems in her children’s future

@drewdgray.bsky.social ooh just got round to watching Lucy Worsley and you pop up! Looking well there!

‘Keeps your mind alert’: older Swedes reap the benefits of learning for pleasure Retirees with ‘fantastic hunger for education’ taking part in university organised events in record numbers

Frankly embarrassing for a British newspaper to report this without noting that the University of the Third Age has functioned in the UK for decades. It has 400,000 members.

Well said.

Very interesting discussion- I started my MA Historical Research in 2009 (age 52) spread it over three years and followed by my PhD achieved in2020. However my university (Roehampton) doesn’t offer such possibilities anymore, such a shame. There’s always U3A of course.

I find the maps fascinating and have used them to add ‘colour’ to some of my case studies. And to trace where my great grandmother was born. Great source of social history.

Congratulations 🥂

I loved that book

Or someone hearing a word and totally misusing and misunderstanding it.

Always was and still is, along with its sister the Daily Post!

That’s the Liverpool Mercury for you - imagine their descriptions of infanticides and overlaying cases. Hope you’re ok x

Something I always have to bear in mind when dealing with my case studies 🙂mind all the people who have got in touch with me have been ok but glad to talk about it

Hope he is better soon, poor wee soul. Take care xx

He’s such an arrogant tw”t. Reminds me of Alan Partridge 😉

Looks wonderful love ginger bread

It’s your baby after all and you’ll defend it to the death 🤣guess that’s why the yanks call it a defense (sic) rather than viva nice !

Good luck and I hate to say it but you probably will find some or something you wish you had phrased differently. It’s normal but don’t fret - the examiners understand they’ve been there ! When is your viva?

Done mine- thanks
