Still laughing at the predictable #hair #fail outcome a few days ago. Fab training 🏊‍♀️ at #Hathersage (alas, not my local pool) to start a daytrip there. Realised no #K18 antifrizz. Spent the rest of the day with frizz+++.
25m, 6 lane outdoor pool in residential area. At pool changeover, so empty.
Overcast sky, but there was a patch of blue sky.

Wow. Chatting with my aunt, I've just been reminded that my mother had a #bicornuate uterus. A rare, congenital uterine malformation. We were mainly chatting thru some family tree stuff.

Incase anyone needs a #KittenWatch #CatsofBluesky -style boost. Belle having a good wash with her new collar: Why collar with 🔔 bell preferable: ✔️Her 🐈‍⬛️big sis can hear where she is ✔️We can take it off O/N, so not kept awake during kitten zoomies in wee hours

Bliss. #kitten taking time out to 💤 during her busy schedule of zipping about & periodically annoying her big sis. Too smol for a #chip or to defend herself when outside yet. #Caturday #KittenWatch
A mostly white kitten if approx 1.3kg  is snoozing on a blanket. She has a few grey spodges on her head & side, with darker strips. She's wearing a harness.

Whilst the O/H is away having fun at mountain biking races 🇫🇷 🇨🇭 for a while, its just me managing the #Kitten chaos with lots of #input from Luna, the adolescent 🐈‍⬛️. Around FT work & 🚑 commitments. This is Luna reinforcing that this is her sleep spot & then sleeping in peace.😊

A moment where the #kitten is chilling post breakie & wash.😆 This serenity will not last. (it didn't) Her activity levels make me wonder if she is training to become 🐈 special forces or something.😂 #Caturday #KittenWatch

Have you seen the resources by @cellcartoons.bsky.social cellcartoons.net/killer-t-cell/
Cellcartoons.net resource
This shows a Killer T cell as a ninja holding a sword. The role of a Killer T cell is to poke a hole in an infected host cell. This then kills the host cell off before it can be used to make more pathogen. As the virus, e.g. Rhinovirus for a common cold has already infected the host cell at the back of the throat & so has hijacked the host cell machinery (cell orgsnelles) to make more virus.

The only way to stop this process is kill the host cell. Programmed cell death known as apoptosis. 

This is why you get a sore throat with a cold. The apoptosis.

Gremlin #Kitten is now in full sleep mode. 😊So cute. 💤So more sleep for me, to top up a short post-late shift sleep of 4hrs.🚑 #CatsofBluesky #Paramedic family #kitten
A mostly white kitten with a few small grey & light brown splodges & darker brown strips is seen sleeping soundly on her right sideDame kitten had flipped into her new sleeping position. She is now on her left side & elongated out fully. Still asleep & content. Showing her front foot left toe beans.

Is there #CatsofBluesky yet? IMO its needed to counteract 🇺🇸 #epidemiology & #public #health insanity Our #rescue kitten is 10.5 weeks old She has more access to #vaccines to prevent needless #mortality & #morbidity from #communicsblev#diseases than 🇺🇲's will have if this bonkers plan goes ahead.

A sleep schedule to aspire to.😂 Or more realistically, never achieve if you're a shiftworker. We've used #Tracactive for a few months now. Originally to ensure we knew where 🐈‍⬛️is when she's on pawtroll.
