Polish noun declension is somewhat challenging.

I see you. We are not ‘just a bit bendy.’

#EDS tip from experience. When you/they realise your low in Iron, Vit D or other vitamins (so low they are amazed your functioning) Ask about GI issues with it with EDS. Go low, go slow applies to these too.

Your body doesn't absorb them like normal people apprently 😖😑

Oh lovely! I liked the idea of it, but the execution? Notsomuch! I’m usually perceived as being outgoing but I’m not keen on ‘all eyes on me.’ Son is the same 🤣

So lovely. I didn’t go to my degree or masters but can still go to a ceremony if I want to. My youngest just graduated and I half-heartedly tried to persuade him to go together (same uni) but he doesn’t want to go to one either!

Little My, character in the Moomin books by Tove Jansson first appeared in 1950. She is small, determined, mischievous & fiercely independent, & based on the author herself in a kind of characteristic self-portrait #WomensArt

What a lovely picture!

Love that!

Very likely!

Oh yes, some of the sentences are bizarre. The tiger eats bread.

I feel your pain. My profile pic is the headshot from the back of my book. That’s the very best I could do and it’s only just okay www.amazon.co.uk/Study-Skills...

Thank you so much.

I never flip my food halfway through cooking in the oven. Ever. And you know what? It's fine. Nothing happens.

Fear mongers. All of them.

Good! I tried very hard to use repeating graphics (like the lightbulb for quick tips).

Well, I now know the world for elephant in Polish, which will come in handy if I want to join the circus.

Good grief, now ‘the horse eats bread.’ It’s harder to learn when the sentences are silly.

a geico lizard is holding a stick in front of a mountain Alt: a geico lizard is holding a stick in front of a mountain saying that doesn’t make any sense.

I’m attempting to learn some Polish. Duolingo started with common nouns and verbs. So far so good. However, we have now jumped from ‘man eats bread’ to animal names. Arguably, I’m less likely to need to know the word for ‘horse’ than ‘supermarket’ or ‘restaurant.’

a man in a red shirt and tie is standing in front of a fridge . Alt: a man in a red shirt and tie is standing in front of a fridge bodily shudders.

No. But also, oh god, no!!! 🤣Why would you put something lumpy in liquid.

I can’t be doing with the bubbles bursting thing AT ALL. Worth a try - you might love it!

Work of the devil. Texturally obscene. Best avoided.

Spotting the signs of sepsis

Re: sepsis. No minimising of the issues from me, but there are pockets of excellence around this within the nhs. I know this from very recent family experience. sepsistrust.org/about-sepsis...

I always knew because my parents called each other by their given names. I detest being called ‘mum’ by anyone other than my children (unless in an emergency e.g. in A&E).

Morning! I hope that was bit of a typo 🫣😘 Seriously, though, I’d be interested in your opinion, please.

Oooh, thank you. I hope you like it!

Morning (I went to bed)! It was lovely. Thank you - hips woke me at 5, so a mellow day today.

A giraffe pokes its head around the corner from inside its stable.

Not far off! My knee has ballooned (chronic MCL sprain). Worth it. Lovely to spend time on my own with our 23 year old. He absolutely stepped up by cooking and cleaning last month whilst I was occupied elsewhere (close relative with sepsis). We both needed the decompression!

Six hours walking around London Zoo in the rain today. I’m wonderfully broken and seem to have lost all my structural integrity! #EDS

Glad it went well and hope you are back to yourself soon. Take care.
