'Toe' is one of those English words that once used N, not S, in the plural โ in Old English, one toe is tฤ, two toes are tฤn.
Tฤn was also an unrelated Old English word for 'twig, branch', and confusion between tฤn 'twig' and tฤn 'toes' is likely why English now has 'mistletoe'.
The damaged pages of this book have been mended with #frockingFabulous embroidery, possibly by the nuns at Vadstena Convent, where the book has been kept since 1417! Via Uppsala Universitet.

Independently found this article and was then very happily surprised that it's all due to the amazing Jess Hodgson, another supervisee of my PhD supervisor! ๐คฉ๐
Read all about it! Jess Hodgson's remarkable discovery of nearly invisible inscriptions made by a woman, Eadburg, in an 18thC Kent manuscript, has been picked up by The Guardian! @HyPIRUoL@NCanagarajah@MRC_Leicester@InsularMSS@bodleianlibs https://t.co/CjNPn0wud6
Well, well, well, if it isn't the incredibly new idea of women's sexuality that I cover extensively in my upcoming book one more time, and I have time to self promote, so let's talk about why Stephen Fry is wrong, cuz a girl has books to sell.
@HMRCcustomers good morning,
As proof I had no taxable income 2021-22, my non-UK student loans body are demanding either a P800 or an "Employment History Letter" (clearly stating I didn't have income). How do I request either of these documents?

In 19th century Europe, C-sections were performed only in direst need and maternal mortality was very high. At the same time in Africa, indigenous people were performing the operation successfully saving both. Have a #BlackHistoryMonth thread on Banyoro obstetric surgery.
