live stream pressers...

PASSING THOUGHT; Waiting for live stream pressers to start is like testing how long you can hold your breath underwater...
I'm definitely improving with regular daily practice... pic.twitter.com/ums3E7UrQP

Brett Sutton in Afghanistan...

Incredible...In 2003(not 2013), for 6 months, Brett+Afghan doctor worked in an A. district=60,000 people...=the only doctors servicing the district...Before that, locals relied on untrained drug sellers...Brett treated 100's of patients per day...Mass consultations...Just wow... https://t.co/2oemeG32vo pic.twitter.com/UPqcKYSJwK

2nd dose excitement...

PASSING THOUGHT: Feeling excitement building in anticipation of 2nd AstraZeneca (it's been a 3-month wait)...Poor reaction to 1st dose...headaches + dizziness for days (yet not sick, just not hungry)...But that is melting away...May feel more secure, but still will wear a mask... pic.twitter.com/RZ8Kt9cXjX

up in the clouds...

up in the clouds
I see signs
of our yesterdays
spilling
tattered secrets #tanka

Returned to the Dreaming...

I too am in tears=a recent memory+a current struggle...Recently, my faithful little furball...16 years old...ventured over the rainbow bridge...Worried re my 19-year-old grandson in NSW - tested + for covid recently...
I'll keep in mind 'Returned to the Dreaming'=so lovely...🙏❤️

VIT registration...

PASSING THOUGHT: Just waded through my annual VIT teachers' registration...(+required a 5-year criminal record check)...What a minefield...PLUS polished my 20 PD hours record...So grateful I began that immediately after my last registration...This year has been so crazy hectic... pic.twitter.com/1KPsSTyBFW

They seem to be such a beautiful sign of hope...

lockdown's important lesson...

PASSING THOUGHT: Lockdown's important lesson= It's OK to whinge but not OK to whinge incessantly...E.one is suffering...The cure for 'pain' is to help https://t.co/MeOiK3S3xU e.g. I photograph my neighbour's construction progress each weekend+send her photos...We both feel better pic.twitter.com/yExfxmza6j
