I’ve experienced exactly the same with my son. He was in hospital for about two weeks but is now absolutely fine.

Really scary and distressing time, I still get wobbly when thinking about it… but the doctors and nurses will look after him.

I hope you’re doing okay. At least as okay as you can be. Don’t forget to eat and sleep yourself.

It’s not meaningless at all. It is important to have people who genuinely care and are trying to do what’s best for the community to take part.

If you have the time and the motivation then absolutely go for it. Try to make your part of the world that little bit better

Obviously they aren’t serious… why is this still generating headlines?

WipeOut 2097 was my first WipeOut game and I absolutely loved it. I’ve still got the soundtrack saved on Spotify for when I need a high energy boost.

I’m not superstitious at all but out of habit I do tend to (moderately) follow a bunch

Don’t put new shoes on the table Don’t open umbrellas inside Don’t walk under ladders Don’t walk over 3 drains Don’t pass people on the stairs Throwing salt over my shoulder if I spill some) Pointing out the good luck of being poop on by a bird Greeting/saluting a magpie

……

Oh dear that’s a lot… maybe I am superstitious!

I love that the sales pitch of bungee jumping is “you’ll think you’re going to die…. But you won’t”

Especially risky in fresh water, even with tight environmental controls you are going to get agriculture and ground water run off, storm overflows. A river may have good ecological health but still not be something you’d want to swim in!

Baby, toddler & kids clothes…

Obviously neutral clothes: vests, t-shirts, shorts, trousers etc are grouped so often grouped into boy/girl - makes absolutely no sense.

I do like all kinds of holidays. Relaxing with a book holidays, city breaks, friend boozy holidays, exhausting family holidays etc

My ideal holidays though is a nature/wildness focused holiday (but staying somewhere nice… I can enjoy camping but it isn’t “ideal holiday” material). USA National Parks, Canadian Rockies, The Nordics, Safari etc

I’ve been listening to https://lateralcast.com a lot recently. I also like the guardian “Today in Focus”

Just finished S2 and really enjoyed it. A bit sad that I wasn’t able to resist and watched it all in just a few days.

Maybe I’ll go back and rewatch the first series

Has there been hints of any new Becky Chambers book that you’ve heard of? The news section of otherscribbles.com doesn’t have anything since nearly a year ago.

When I was deep in the sleep deprived zone of new parenthood, listening & readying to Beckychambers books on audio book was just perfect. I was too fragile to deal with any horribly dark or dense sci-fi books (that so many seem to be) and her books always felt like a nice cup of tea (pretty appropriate considering psalm for the wild-built!)

We are expecting our second and I’d love to have a new Becky chambers book to read or listen to when we restart the new born saga!

I’m so glad to hear this. I haven’t started watching series 2 yet but am really looking forward to it.

Thank you!

There is never a reason or excuse to hit a child. It’s disgusting, abusive and ultimately counter productive. Only showing that it’s okay to use violence to get your way and it’s okay to hurt people who you hold power over.

Edit: sorry for all my deleted comments, accidentally posted a bunch of duplicates!

Absolutely awful, so much unnecessary suffering will be caused by this.
