Is it a sign that you did a good presentation when multiple people check if you're getting therapy afterwards? Thank you @dc4420.bsky.social for having me

Not sure if it's the exact info you're after, but looking at archived issues of The Guardian might help- it seems they printed (partial?) programmes

Saw a heron trying to eat a massive fish, popped home and grabbed my camera just in time for the money shot! Genuinely surprised he got it down him

That time of year again! Someone brought me some ducklings, but they were too young for me to be able to appropriately care for so they've been passed onto a friend who has an incubator. In return I've got some very opinionated teenaged pigeons 😂

Last of the wound dressings off today- we have a completely closed (but still swollen) incision! 🎉

Stitches out! Apparently the surgeon tried to line them up with the old scars to preserve the fish bones 😂

Surgery on the ankle went okay! Had bone chiselled away (surgeon's words), hopefully the joint will move a bit better now and reduce my limp/the problems in surrounding joints due to the limited range of motion

Here's my language studying summary for 2025! Averaged about 40 minutes per day. I spent much more time concentrating on Ukrainian this year for practical reasons, but I tried to maintain my Spanish.

I've been told that these little wooden shapes used to decorate the Christmas market are called a "Павук", meaning "spider". It's been interesting to see the shift towards more Western-like Christmas traditions since the start of the full scale invasion.

Bone pics bone pics! The inside of the joint is supposed to be smooth white (cartilage). Mine is full of fluffy damaged cartilage, with big bits where the bone is exposed (the yellowish bit)

Yesterday I had an operation on the bad ankle. The surgeon fished out the free floating bits of bone (seen below) and had a good look at the state of the joint. He didn't end up doing any bone shaving while he was in there, so I don't have to have a full on cast at least

Every time I visit Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the number of flags has increased. It's now spread even further into the area, with footpaths forming between lines of flags. Each flag represents a soldier who gave their life to protect Ukraine

It's been a busy week for bird wrangling! I've been looking after a couple of ducklings for the past month who have just gone for a soft release. Had to fish a waterlogged seagull out of a pond. Currently, I have a baby dove who's unfortunately showing signs of pigeon pox

My phone is crap but I caught the 4 ducklings who's mother had ditched them. They were very cold and so have been sent to Baby Jail to get warmed up and fed

Pigeon update: probable sparrow hawk attack, feet aren't working properly. Hard to tell if inflammation or spinal damage. Concerned as it's not pooped, and pidges are poop machines normally. If no improvement in the next couple of days, euthanasia is kindest option unfortunately
