thank you!

ty!

tl;dr if you get the virus going around and it’s not shifting within a day or two, get to a doctor. I literally waited until I was vomiting blood which I do not recommend.

Truly a feast after a week unable to keep even water down.

Eating after illness fucks with your perceptions of what is an appropriate amount SO MUCH. I just paused & thought “oh wow I’ve been eating non-stop, I should slow down to not overdo it” and it was 2 apples sliced up and 2 boiled baby potatoes. 😐

A printed poem which reads: I hav for breakfast Weetabix I hav for lunch some meat I have for tea 2 sosajis and thats enuf to eat Peter Hazel, 5

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Needlework that says “this too shall pass but like holy fuck”

Stumbled upon this in my photos and it seems so incredibly fitting for these times we find ourselves in.

Oh nooo! I hope you guys at least had a nice lunch?

It was so lovely to see you! 💕

It was lovely to see you too! Hope you are home and warm 💕

Thank you!! ❤️

Thank you!!!!

Thank you! Two days of labour, they are all beyond exhausted, but v v happy.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the corner frantically knitting all the baby blankets.

SIL is safely delivered, nephew is perfect, v grumpy and with an impressive head of hair. Gave us all quite the scare (made worse by my internet choosing this time to disconnect me while I sat here and panicked) but both mother and baby are doing fine.

Honestly, this should have been predictable but I am hard-wired to go all-out in academic testing. Not such a great reflex in real-life situations where you’re actually trying to learn a new skill.

I accidentally over-achieved in a language exam yesterday and today, the chickens have come home to roost: forcibly promoted to a much, MUCH harder class. I have appealed for clemency. (& more grammar practice.)

#InternationalMensDay

I am awaiting the delivery of new bookcases on Friday. I will then spend the weekend reorganising my books. Jealous? Don’t be! You, too, can reorganise your books this weekend. Think of it! Books! In a new order! It’s almost like actually reading them…

We’re all exhausted so it’s a very laid-back break, lots of naps!

I am taking full advantage of the proximity to so much delicious food and also napping every day, it’s amazing. 10/10 highly recommend!

Honestly, it has been blissful, I feel almost human again.

Sunset a couple of days ago -

A walk in Bellagio -

View from the apartment -

Enjoying a long-overdue week off with family, lazing around Lake Como. The scenery is spectacular, and food is amazing, and the weather is - thankfully - replete enough with mountain breezes to make sleeping possible.

“At least I can fly home for a weekend” on a loop while gritting my teeth.
