I was lucky to see part of this session being recorded- it's well worth watching! The conversation between Nnenna Osuji and @instagraham.bsky.social is thoughtful, honest and insightful. Join us online on 25 Nov for this session and others exploring how we can improve healthcare. #QIsky #medsky

I finished my #crochet blanket for the doll my son is getting for Christmas last night. The edges are a bit ragged but I'm super proud of it! Practicing so I can get good enough to justify the extortionate costs for wool to make an adult sized blanket.

I've learned a new #crochet move to make waves and I love it. This will be a blanket for the baby doll my son is getting for Christmas. (glass of wine included as crocheting in front of the Christmas tree with a glass of wine is wonderful)

I'm fairly new to #crochet so I don't have a blocking mat. My son does have a toy drill set though. I bet this was more fun than a blocking mat.

Our house looks over our community allotments. I love watching how they change over the year. Waking up in the morning to see people already working hard. But this morning they are frosty and still, with nothing growing. Still beautiful though
In the foreground there are some allotments, with sheds that have white frost on their roofs. Beyond the allotments there is a line of trees, some evergreen, some that have almost lost all their leaves. The morning sky is blue with some clouds striped over it.

We’re counting down to our annual conference and have created an event starter pack so people can easily find and connect with speakers. Might this be a useful tool for events going forward or do you think they’re likely to be a fad as people get started on here?

To welcome @markhamillofficial.bsky.social to Bluesky, here's a throwback to the time I met him - alongside Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty - to discuss the science of Yorkshire puddings. It was, without a doubt, one of my more surreal days at work.

Does anyone else keep seeing starter packs and thinking "Wow! Who knew so many people were experts in that?!" or "I didn't even know that was a thing, so interesting!". I've imagined myself in about 8 different random but fascinating careers so far today.
