After a very emotionally challenging week at work, doing bedtime with this little bean is usually a fail-safe way to cheer up.

Two hands, one adult and one child, joined together to make a heart shape.

One of my colleagues is Argentinian. He asked me today if I was nervous for this match. “No” I said, “we’re very good at losing. We’re used to it” Come on boys, prove me wrong!

When there’s a red weather warning for heat, but you work in the NHS and no one’s allowed to see you walk in to work in uniform….

Lads, I have a new favourite way to do CPD. A morning dog walk while listening to MedEd podcasts. Winner.

A sunny morning in a field. The foreground is a green wheat field, the background is a bright blue sky with a couple of white clouds.

Most importantly there is a brown and white spaniel and a black Labrador sitting patiently waiting to continue their walk.

Sunday morning walks with this Very Good Boy might be one of my favourite ways to spend a weekend.

Very sad not to be attending @rcpch.bsky.social conference today to make sure that @drseanmon.bsky.social behaves. Instead I’ll be trying to control a toddler who got hold of his Mum’s coffee… which is much the same thing.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons. (Pictured here with three extras)

There is a time and a place for AI. Like earlier, during a conversation about cat dentistry.

Today’s lunch. There was also a cheeseboard.

A large plate of home made sausage rolls. In the background is a jar of chutney, and a token bowl of chopped pepper and tomato.

Well. Colour me surprised.

While watching the Cenotaph footage this morning I saw not one but two familiar faces. Daddy Botcher was marching with his comrades, but just beforehand was an interview with this boss @doctorwibble.bsky.social Lest we forget

On-call shift, Halloween 2021. Can confirm, paediatrics at Halloween is awesome.

I get the feeling that someone at BBCNews has waited a long time for this and is enjoying themselves.

Hit me with your best pumpkin recipes. We’ve got a few of these kicking around…

A tall child is sitting on two ginormous pumpkins in a kitchen. The pumpkins are each probably around the size of a medicine ball.

I am NOT a runner and so this is a very real challenge for me. I’m doing it while pushing either my 8kg 8month old or my leggy 18kg 3yo. Any and all donations will be very warmly welcomed and appreciated!

Long thread incoming. This is NOT critical of those who feed their baby formula. It’s the end of another #worldbreastfeedingweek and it always prompts a bit of reflection. I am so proud of being able to feed both my children. No 1 fed until nearly ten months, and No 2 is still going strong.

In a big medic mum chat the other week I sent this:

Here you go, boss. (Before people come at me, this is NOT a Mickey take of Ozzy but rather of the mawkish sh.te that gets trotted out whenever someone significant dies)

Film you've watched more than 6 times with a gif: No Star Wars, Star Trek ,Marvel, LOTR (I’ve seen one Star Wars once, no Trek, very few Marvels, and no LOTR so this isn’t tricky)

Clip from “The Sound Of Music” where Captain Von Trapp rips up a Nazi flag.

A white man in his 30s-40s stands in front of a building. In his hand is a red flag with a white circle and a black swastika. He rips it straight through the middle.

The Warwickshire Reform party saying the quiet bits out loud. “Diversity, equality, and inclusion…. We don’t particularly like as a party” It’s easy to trot out slogans like “DEI” but now they’re saying it with their chest. Well done Warks, you’ve voted this shower in and we all will suffer.

Any new items of high fashion to make viral as a result of this appearance? This one remains a favourite.

Going back to my photo reel in March 2020… strange times. Photo one shows a supermarket shelf mostly bare except for some nappies. Photo two is of a pack of loo roll on a kitchen counter.

Same. I take this with me when I go away too.
