Sarah Aitchison @saraha73.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It was 7.30 to be fair, but still - depressing. Hand is still strapped, but improving. Spent the day apologising for short and mistyped emails 😁 041

Sarah Aitchison @saraha73.bsky.social · 27/09/2026In less devastating news, I am unable to iron, hoover or wipe anything. Or chop, obv 150

Sarah Aitchison @saraha73.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Quite embarassing when they asked what led to the injury 😆 Butternut squash. 440
