Can walk, but, not very far.
#chookkid1 has a standard pizza - cheese, olives, eggplant and corn on a tomato paste base. #chookkid2 has decided broccoli and tofu, with a sprinkling of corn is the perfect combination.

1/2 I have no religious faith.
I am a proud heathen of a local inner city Anglican parish.
Actively human Christian people.
The disadvantaged sit next to surgeons and politians.
Everyone knows names. Black, white, brindle.

Apparently poor quality of life isn't a reason to access palliative care. Disappointing.
I have 4 autoimmune diseases on top of infective encephalopathy and leg nerve damage.
5 fractured vertebrae. Osteoarthritis in spine, hands, feet. Need bilateral shoulder reconstructions.

1/4 I attended a funeral today. The mother of an old friend of mine.
I met this woman in 1986.
We studied and worked together.
We lived together once we finished our studies.
We had a good friendship until I became ill.
Then we drifted apart.
I'd bump into her occasionally. Social chit chat.

Next week I will be referred to my 10th specialist for my range of medical conditions.
To say I provide full medical employment is an understatement! #health #disability #diseases #conditions

1/2 The NDIS has reduced the amount they will pay when you are treated by allied health therapists. According to the NDIS there is no cost of living crisis, and my physiotherapist and psychologist aren't worth very much.

1/5 12 years since I was admitted to hospital. 12 years of defending against a lazy provisional diagnosis of 'conversion disorder'. Final diagnosis is post infective encephalopathy.
Peroneal nerve damage, foot drop. Add 4 autoimmune diseases, 2 shoulders needing reconstructions,

Over 60 German and Austrian universities, the German Federal Court of Justice and multiple top German football clubs have announced that they will be withdrawing from Twitter (X), due to US oligarch Elon Musk's "discussion" (collaboration) with Germany's neo-Nazi party (AfD) Alice Weidl.

1/4 I asked how a friend's Plantar fasciitis was this morning.
"It's nothing in comparison to your pain" was his response.
I really dislike comparing pain. 
It demeans your experience.
It demeans mine.

1/ One of the things about accessing FoodBank - spectacular organisation and volunteers, for me at least, it's hard to get 'cooking' stuff.
Many of the canned foods available I can't eat, due to disease. I still buy cheap noodles, Korean shop for bulk seaweed 12 for $5.

George the greyhound escaped yesterday.
My neighbour saw him on Lost dogs of Adelaide.
We were talking, my neighbour and I when George walked past.
George popped in for a pat.
When George loves you, he leans against you.
I nearly fell over.
George is a big greyhound. He leans hard.
I am loved!

Anyone here know anything about the history of polytopes? @rmathematicus.bsky.social?

I purchased this dress from an Op Shop in 1996. I used it as my 'throw on and go to the shops' dress, it's now a gardening dress. It has been mended a couple of times. It is ironed after each wash. I have 3 of these dresses. All from Op Shops. They will all outlast me! #opshop #dress #stripes

No recording of rain, as the black currant vine has completely covered the opening of the rain gauge! #rain #Clearviewweather

So, I was cutting through the cemetery to go and look after #chookkids while the parents went out.
Hit a small rock.
Careered out of control.
Fell out.
Wheel and axle stuffed!
#pumpkin is broken.

The Chihuly exhibition at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens is wonderful. We all had different favourite pieces. Colours, shapes, situations. Worth a visit! #glass #art #gardens #colour #Adelaide

Australia will be a safer place when politicians care as much about the 96 women killed this year as they do about scoring points over a synagogue fire.

1/4 My nearly 23 yo Godson comes over every few weeks to spend time and learn life skills.
We cook a new recipe - using different techniques, we talk, he tastes different spices/herbs/fruits, and today, he learned clothes construction and how to iron with a proper iron.

Waiting at a pedestrian crossing. Driver using mobile phone while waiting to turn left. I knocked on the passenger window mouthed 'no phone'. Panic. Guilt. A woman in a wheelchair freaked him out! #concentrate #wheeling #pumpkin
