This is awhile back now, but it was a good day :)

Got to love a bit of lens flare :)

This is one of my favourite photos I've taken recently because of the way the light reacted.

I've been at my desk for 3 hours & so far, I've had 2 coffees, checked my emails, followed a random chain of thought down a rabbit hole that involved looking up when Anne Boleyn was executed & started listening to 'a discovery of witches'

But I'm still on the intro of what I should be doing 🤦

I cannot keep plants alive, but I love the idea of having a kitchen garden.

This is my first attempt I've got: two beds of strawberries, half a bed of onions, a few pots of lettuces and beetroot with some courgettes propagating in the house

What could possibly go wrong?! :)

I also can't mess up with the cylinders (though I have known someone to force this and break the machine!) due to the pin index, which I think is much easier to visualise in person (see the distance between the pins in the photo) than the random numbers we had to memorise at uni!

If I've taken it completely a part, then I can't accidentally attach the other end of the pipe to the wrong part, thanks to Non Interchangeable Screw Threads (NIST)

There are loads of safety features on the anaesthetic machine that I appreciate from a #HumanFactors point of view - design machines that mean I can't make a mistake

E.g. as an #ODP when I move an machine, I can't accidentally connect the wrong gas supply because the #Shrader valves won't let me

Ok this isn't a great video because the gasses weren't plugged in, but I think its fascinating that this is how the manual hypoxic guard works on old anaesthetic machines.

Simple but efficient :)

Heading home from the @afpp.bsky.social volunteer training day

I learnt loads and really appreciate the opportunity

If you've been thinking about volunteering I definitely recommend it, it has really helped me with my development

Spending the day learning with @afpp.bsky.social

it's been a great opportunity to learn how to be a better volunteer and develop my skills

Need to get better at networking though!

Really good, but intense, day at the ESNEFT sustainability conference.

Lot of emphasis on how we should all reduce our meat intake. I'm not a vegetarian, but I almost never cook with beef or lamb, since I learnt how bad it is for the environment

Attending the first ever ESNEFT sustainability conference today.

It's been really interesting so far, hearing about what needs to be done

For example Prof Hugh Montgomery's talk - always eye opening! If you ever get the chance to hear him speak I highly recommend it

Searching for images of cannulas to use in a training session and came across this image.

Too good not to share!

What do you think have we been doing it wrong? :)
