My sciatica is mild at the moment @Glisten it was bad when I was pregnant. Keeping up different stretches and exercises for different aches and pains…. Weary sigh…

@Jynx yes please tag me when you set it up. I am pretty old though. Though young in some groups. My inner child also comes out to play more these days,

My reading is less intense than in my younger years. I have many books on the go at once….

eg…. Blood, sweat and tears: the evolution of work ….. Richard Donkin

Singing Neanderthals: the origins of music, language, mind and body …. Steven Mithen

Dawkins’ God: Genes, memes and the meaning of life…. Alistair McGrath

my OT saw them yesterday and said I was pretty academic. Not sure if I will go back to academia though….dipped my big toe into a masters in Diversity and Inclusion but not really impressed by course co-ordination. Problem with being older is I am not as impressionable as I was. I had a tough life, but got into top uni…. So have some expectations now, instead of just bowing down to everyone. Academia seems to have become a bit of a racket… imho… even talking to a young honours graduate…. About his recent struggles… hmmmm…. And he was from a brilliant hard working family.

I even thought of doing postgraduate OT.. for mental health

apparently it is better in the UK than here.

wot r u all reading?

Hello @Shaz51

the rain was torrential most of the night and this morning but I was warm and dry in the library so I didn’t mind too much.

Take care,

Hope your weather improves very soon @Abz

Hello @Blackcloud , @Glisten , @Appleblossom , @Oaktree

How are you today ☺️

i'm fine thanks @Shaz51

Hi @Shaz51

I am still unwell.

Had a cold or something since Tuesday night last week. The doctor said maybe bronchitis when I saw him on Wednesday. Hoping to be back at Tafe next week.

Hope you feel better soon @Oaktree 🥰

How has your day been @Blackcloud

Sorry to hear you are unwell @Oaktree . Do you have someone to look after you?

I had my COVID booster and my flu vaccine today. I hope I dont' get too unwell from it.

@tyme

I had my flu shot the morning of the 13th and I was sick by that night. I am hoping it was a coincidence.

Sounds like a direct correlation @Oaktree .

You're not still sick from it, right?

@Glisten ah my friend. I am wishing for some heavy duty unmentionables, as opposed to the over the counter ones that don't appear to be touching the sides! Getting old bites!
MurderMittens isn't helping by jumping on me and causing me to squeal like a 13 year old as his 400 kg paw hits that one spot. Okay he's only 6kg in total but it feels a heck of a lot more than that when he launches himself onto me!
How's the weather out your way? It's a little chilly in the 'Vegas. I'm tempted to sit in my car and enjoy the seat warming feature because I'm a sookie la la!

I've promised a friend I'd make muffins for her so I'll see if I can get MM to take some up to you in Bully. Leave em at the PO right?😁
