Very much a small fish in a big pond, but hopefully a nice one. Paediatrician, dog owner, mum, crafter, owner of wonky ears. She/her
So in lieu of fancy eclipse photos, I’m going to have to share this from the weekend (Three photographs. The first shows a dark night sky with lots of visible stars and satellites. Second and third show dark sky with stars and the Milky Way )
After a very emotionally challenging week at work, doing bedtime with this little bean is usually a fail-safe way to cheer up.
One of my colleagues is Argentinian. He asked me today if I was nervous for this match. “No” I said, “we’re very good at losing. We’re used to it” Come on boys, prove me wrong!
When there’s a red weather warning for heat, but you work in the NHS and no one’s allowed to see you walk in to work in uniform….
Lads, I have a new favourite way to do CPD. A morning dog walk while listening to MedEd podcasts. Winner.
Sunday morning walks with this Very Good Boy might be one of my favourite ways to spend a weekend.
Very sad not to be attending @rcpch.bsky.social conference today to make sure that @drseanmon.bsky.social behaves. Instead I’ll be trying to control a toddler who got hold of his Mum’s coffee… which is much the same thing.
"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons. (Pictured here with three extras)
There is a time and a place for AI. Like earlier, during a conversation about cat dentistry.
While watching the Cenotaph footage this morning I saw not one but two familiar faces. Daddy Botcher was marching with his comrades, but just beforehand was an interview with this boss @doctorwibble.bsky.social Lest we forget
On-call shift, Halloween 2021. Can confirm, paediatrics at Halloween is awesome.
I get the feeling that someone at BBCNews has waited a long time for this and is enjoying themselves.
Hit me with your best pumpkin recipes. We’ve got a few of these kicking around…
I am NOT a runner and so this is a very real challenge for me. I’m doing it while pushing either my 8kg 8month old or my leggy 18kg 3yo. Any and all donations will be very warmly welcomed and appreciated!
Long thread incoming. This is NOT critical of those who feed their baby formula. It’s the end of another #worldbreastfeedingweek and it always prompts a bit of reflection. I am so proud of being able to feed both my children. No 1 fed until nearly ten months, and No 2 is still going strong.
Here you go, boss. (Before people come at me, this is NOT a Mickey take of Ozzy but rather of the mawkish sh.te that gets trotted out whenever someone significant dies)
Film you've watched more than 6 times with a gif: No Star Wars, Star Trek ,Marvel, LOTR (I’ve seen one Star Wars once, no Trek, very few Marvels, and no LOTR so this isn’t tricky)
Watching #taskmaster and increasingly of the opinion that Jason Mantzoukas is in fact Pimento in deep cover.
