Very much a small fish in a big pond, but hopefully a nice one.

Paediatrician, dog owner, mum, crafter, owner of wonky ears.

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

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)

Yup

Watching #taskmaster and increasingly of the opinion that Jason Mantzoukas is in fact Pimento in deep cover.

The Warwickshire Reform party saying the quiet bits out loud.

“Diversity, equality, and inclusion…. We don’t particularly like as a party”

It’s easy to trot out slogans like “DEI” but now they’re saying it with their chest. Well done Warks, you’ve voted this shower in and we all will suffer.

Apparently!

They were fine with Pope Monty though.

Any new items of high fashion to make viral as a result of this appearance? This one remains a favourite.

Going back to my photo reel in March 2020… strange times.

Photo one shows a supermarket shelf mostly bare except for some nappies.

Photo two is of a pack of loo roll on a kitchen counter.

Same. I take this with me when I go away too.

Sod the course, they do a banging dessert.

Sticky toffee pudding on the left, apple crumble on the right, and a metric ton of custard on top.

An old photo for #NationalBreastfeedingInPublicDay (the 2022 Commonwealth games)

I was lucky enough to feed my daughter til 9 months, despite some early challenges.

Way.
