@Horsesinhistory Not on here much but wanted to say I got this book from the library and I am absolutely LOVING it! Utterly fascinating & so well written. I found myself wanting to be able to read Jordanus' Treatise & then saw your translation will be out later this year. Wonderful!

Yesterday at York Minster I was told by the guide that the monkeys in the pilgrimge window are there because there were wild monkeys in York in medieval times, having come from shops from Africa. Really?! I have found no evidence of this. @Emma_J_Wells have you heard of this?

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

@Emma_J_Wells Yep! Not good is it? They're probably telling hundreds of people a week! Eek! 😬

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

@CBMEgroup Prepare to be crushed! There were pet monkeys in medieval times if that makes you feel better! 😂

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

@Emma_J_Wells I thought so! Not the first time a cathedral tour guide has spread misinformation...Thank you so much for replying - I really appreciate it 😊

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

@CBMEgroup @Emma_J_Wells 😂😂 me too!

Loving #HeartstopperS2 but why are they kissing in a cupboard with 'Key Stage 1' stuff? In a SECONDARY SCHOOL? Maybe someone should advise them of school stuff (me?). Anyway 🥰😘🥰😘🥰🥰🥰 in general.

@Naomi_D_Harvey @acweyand This a thousand times! If you have fatigue then even if your ferritin is 'normal' (which usually = a severe deficiency but whatever) then working to increase it is really obvious. But not to any Dr I've met.

@KateAGriffin Am sure I won't be! 😊

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

Ahem, YES PLEASE! (totally just ordered it)

Authors should NEVER visit Goodreads, but this 1⭐️ review would make me buy #Fyneshade in a heartbeat 🤣

‘Cruel, bullying, trollopy wannabe witch seeks bodice-ripping, similarly-minded alpha male for late night fornications, and manipulative degradations…

DNF@40%’

40%? 👀

@acambridgediary @kingsmen @Kings_College @ChoirOfKingsCam Wasn't it a wonderful evening? And I thought I saw you wandering through the crowds!

Sadly, the wonderful and very talented dragon maker, Val Chivers, passed away yesterday. Anyone who has read The Last Dragon Chronicles will know she was the inspiration for the character of Elizabeth Pennykettle. Val will be greatly missed. Dragon tears are being shed today.

@samatlounge Well then! (How terrifying 😬😬😬😬😬😬)

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

@samatlounge That's just what the crow WANTS you to think, but its intentions are to get in the house & take over your soul. Just don't let it in! (I may be terrified by birds. I still stand by this though 🤣.)

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

@Sally_writes Yeah but your news is WAY better! XXXXXX

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

@Sally_writes I can imagine. What a weight off your shoulders (but also - woah to there being several tumours!). I am doing so much better thanks! The iron has finally kicked in! (Hope that feeling is here to stay.) Will be clinking a cup of tea to you tonight my lovely, so relieved for you xx

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

@PhysiosForME @MEAssociation Doh! I get it now 🤣

[Jen D Morgan @JenDrakeMorgan]

Guess who is starting to feel (comparatively) AMAZING after having an iron transfusion? ME! It's taken 2.5 months to start to feel different but last month I couldn't do a 20 min walk & now ⬇️ 😮. Shout out to the lovely Dr Klein from the Cambridge Iron Clinic #MECFS #iron
