@DeanOelsch Lucky!!

[Dr Ces Smith @Cesnuts]

@DeanOelsch Double check your babies vaccination points. They missed out on giving us the 6 month vaccination ones.

[Dr Ces Smith @Cesnuts]

@DeanOelsch The fact that I birthed an entire human this year has meant that I'm not at the required weight and dont get full points either. 🙄🙄

What a beautiful and ridiculous spider!

[Dr Ces Smith @Cesnuts]

@DrKMAbrams Your guess would be as good as mine but i think he has retired? (most people who taught us are retired or left)

[Dr Ces Smith @Cesnuts]

@DrKMAbrams Here or in Aus? I can't remember if you finished here or not. 🙈

[Dr Ces Smith @Cesnuts]

Let me not retweet all of it but you really should read this thread!

When Britain colonised India, quinine was a key malaria treatment, given in rations to the British army to maintain their health. Officers would take it with a gin at sundown. However, quinine was not made available to the Indians.

This seems an incredibly relevant point.

Students don't need a perfect teacher. Students need a happy teacher, who's gonna make them excited to come to school and grow a love for learning.

@oldladypanties @RoxyAlexDallas Lockdown was good for the crochet skills. Thought I'd have time to make all the baby things during maternity leave but I've made nothing in 4 months!

[Dr Ces Smith @Cesnuts]

@RoxyAlexDallas @oldladypanties Actually, now wondering if I can crochet a blanket based on her sleep...that might look quite pretty (and serve a constant reminder) 🤣

[Dr Ces Smith @Cesnuts]

@RoxyAlexDallas @oldladypanties Haha... Thats exactly why I'm doing it too! That and it makes really pretty patterns in a 30 day cycle.
