My sciatica is mild at the moment @Glisten it was bad when I was pregnant. Keeping up different stretches and exercises for different aches and pains…. Weary sigh…
@Jynx yes please tag me when you set it up. I am pretty old though. Though young in some groups. My inner child also comes out to play more these days,
@Blackcloud @Oaktree @tyme @Shaz51
My reading is less intense than in my younger years. I have many books on the go at once….
eg…. Blood, sweat and tears: the evolution of work ….. Richard Donkin
Singing Neanderthals: the origins of music, language, mind and body …. Steven Mithen
Dawkins’ God: Genes, memes and the meaning of life…. Alistair McGrath
my OT saw them yesterday and said I was pretty academic. Not sure if I will go back to academia though….dipped my big toe into a masters in Diversity and Inclusion but not really impressed by course co-ordination. Problem with being older is I am not as impressionable as I was. I had a tough life, but got into top uni…. So have some expectations now, instead of just bowing down to everyone. Academia seems to have become a bit of a racket… imho… even talking to a young honours graduate…. About his recent struggles… hmmmm…. And he was from a brilliant hard working family.
I even thought of doing postgraduate OT.. for mental health
apparently it is better in the UK than here.
wot r u all reading?

Hello @Shaz51
the rain was torrential most of the night and this morning but I was warm and dry in the library so I didn’t mind too much.
Take care,

Hi @Shaz51
I am still unwell.
Had a cold or something since Tuesday night last week. The doctor said maybe bronchitis when I saw him on Wednesday. Hoping to be back at Tafe next week.

Sorry to hear you are unwell @Oaktree . Do you have someone to look after you?
I had my COVID booster and my flu vaccine today. I hope I dont' get too unwell from it.

I had my flu shot the morning of the 13th and I was sick by that night. I am hoping it was a coincidence.
