Very honoured to be a guest at #KingsCollege, #cambridge. Big thanks to Dr Mark Dyble for inviting me to screen and discuss the Mundo Maya Documentary. Great audience, a lovely chat at the pub and then a totally awesome dinner at the College. Thanks to everyone in the #BiologicalAnthropology group.

My partner and I had a conversation with ChatGPT and we caught it making a mistake 😉🍾

This is my 138th day of daily #yoga practise. My commitment to this #AtomicHabit started on the 9th November 2023 after a bad #LongCovid flare-up. No matter how I bad I felt, I would go on the mat and breath. I am aiming for a 6-month daily practice.

Another goal achieved on my journey to fight #longcovid: 1 yoga session everyday for a month.
Most of the days 15 min restorative, sometimes 1hr #hatha with crow & mermaid postures. When I started on Dec 1st I couldn’t do any of them. Today I did both.

For the first time, since my battle with #longCovid started a year ago, I have completed my first month of daily exercise which was one of my main goals for 2023.
