Feeling pretty tired now (it’s surprising how quickly this happens after having a baby) but had a lovely, therapeutic afternoon on Castle Meadow campus trying to stitch!

Very relieved that my mum has a companion app for my insulin pump as I very easily could’ve ended up in a hypo-induced coma this evening. Sugars dropped to <2.2 while I was napping and I didn’t wake up. If she hadn’t called me twice, I don’t think I would’ve woken up.

Last year I was supposed to give a presentation titled 'Researching national identity and migration discourses in times of polycrisis'. Unfortunately it didn't go ahead due to illness. I've made the presentation available on Researchgate for anyone interested.
