The Madwoman’s Ball by Victoria Mas - it’s very good!

I’ve never seen Star Wars or ET. This has now gone on for so long that it’s now a mission to ensure I never do 😂

Still have an unopened stollen and some chocolate. Christmas/Twelfth Night cake almost gone. Cheese is long gone!

But did you discuss the book?

On the basis that AI is known to fabricate answers on occasion, I’m not sure I would trust it to check medication.

Annual leave for me this week except for this afternoon when I’m attending graduation - really looking forward to finding out how my personal tutor group are doing post reg.

Compared to The Twitter Fairy, The Bluesky Fairy does sound more fairylike, to be fair(y)

So pleased you’re here (bank balance may not agree 😂)

There is! Download the Sky Bridge Follower extension on to Google Chrome and you can search your Twitter followers for BlueSky accounts. Not perfect, but will save you time.

I’ve also found the Sky Follower Bridge extension on Google chrome to be helpful. It will scan your Twitter followers and highlight those on BlueSky so you can find your contacts quicker. Not perfect as some links were the same handle but different person - it’s a lot quicker than doing it by hand.

I was struggling to work out how to share it yesterday - does this work? go.bsky.app/CGLMEMo

Absolutely, you have definitely done the story justice. I’m sure the techniques have been refined over the years, but I’m definitely recognising the descriptions of the reconstructive surgery and the surgical language. The aesthetic results for some of the men are amazing!

Currently reading The Facemaker and it’s fascinating. I worked in paediatric burns and reconstructive surgery in the late 1990s and we were still using some of the techniques developed by Gillies and then McIndoe.

Definitely. We took ours on around this time of year and it was helpful to not have that pressure of growing before knowing what we wanted!

I forgot to mention - green manure is also an option for winter growing. You then cut it down and dig it in in the spring.
