Effect of heat on bougies
It gets HOT up here in Central Australia with the retrieval service. Kit left in cars can be affected
We measured this using Portex & Frova bougies, to see deformity by a standard 100ml bag of saline suspended 2cm from tip at length of 10 or 15cm fulcrum hot vs cold

A raft of bitches
I remember hearing about the idea of forming a “Raft of Bitches” from the FemInEM crew HT @darakass.com
Female otters – bitches, if you will – join hands with each other to create rafts that stop them from drifting apart & losing each other while asleep.
Who is in your raft?
