@clhubes As @ProfEmilyOster always says, TV/screen time itself isn’t harmful, you just have to be mindful of what it’s replacing. If they’re still getting plenty of social interaction, book reading, playing etc. then of course it’s fine! And dinner is important too 😛

@NBG_sarah @ClaireStorey16 https://t.co/lD3U5NtJ9m the email instructions are what I follow. As Claire said, you will just need to download the relevant dictionary in the Kindle app once you’ve managed to convert to an eBook, which the app should offer as an option once you highlight a word.

[Connie MT @connathan]

@NBG_sarah Yes I think that should make it work 🤞🏻

@clhubes And the baby will do a poo just as you’re about to finally leave the house!

@AlanaKinrich I wondered about this too, but then here in the UK women are sent home from C sections with instructions to just take paracetamol and ibuprofen, so maybe not that surprising?!

@MarianneLevy @serial I really want people to talk to about this podcast! Hopefully will see more discussion as more episodes come out

[Connie MT @connathan]

@FwdTranslations @Claire_Cox16 I’m reading Beach Read at the moment! Have you read any Mhairi McFarlane? If not then I highly recommend her books as well

@rhiannonlucyc https://t.co/HwSnOrZbct My go to in a rush!

@sjware7 Hope it all goes well Sally! Excited for you ☺️

@marina_wert @hannahfearn Came here to recommend Lindex too! They have good sales which makes their stuff cheaper, and I love their prints.

@hypnotic Miles has been given an adapted version called "Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Star" to learn for his preschool Christmas show, so suggests the original is definitely not a Christmas song already!

@the_germanist For a similarly crude name, "shag bands" come to mind, but not sure if they were more early noughties than nineties. And not really clothing as such.

@groveregg I've heard it before, would say it sounds fairly American, "obvs" definitely seems more British. With the popularity of TikTok etc. though, I can imagine the lines between US/British slang are becoming more blurred...

@FwdTranslations @libripotens @aneesa50abbas @robmyatt2 For me, espresso maker could possibly be interpreted as an espresso machine, so prefer espresso pot.

@AMDTransl We always called it “halls” when I was at Warwick, but that was over 10 years ago so maybe times have changed!

@rhiannonlucyc Your comments about French mothers reminded me of this hilarious video by @TattyMacleod 😊https://t.co/yOOXywxeVH

@LibbyPageWrites Really glad I got my son vaccinated against it - from my research into why the US give it as standard but the UK don't, it seemed like it was more about herd immunity for adults than about protecting the children themselves.

@JohnLovesJulie @niamh_d I assume it was partly to do with House of Cards already being on Netflix, but they could have chosen a better alternative name!
