I read a great thread about ways to minimise the chance of long covid last weekish. It was by someone who was not an epidemiologist but had synthesised the information wonderfully. Can anyone help me find it? PS. I know I need to learn to ❤️ more things I read!

I got SO excited during the reveal of my first guess... I thought the impossible was about to happen!!! Wordle 269 2/6 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Year 1s are going to be learning colours in Te Reo. Is there a way I can get them to do a "treasure hunt" ie. Bring me something blue? Homai te kikorangi is not right but all I can think of with my limited knowledge. Is there someone that might be able to help?

I remain unconvinced that schools staying open was for any reason other than to provide child-minding services in a capitalist system.

Almost 36 weeks pregnant, discomfort at an all-time high and put my back out today. Ready for the world to swallow me up now.

Pain is exhausting. My heart goes out to all the chronic pain sufferers out there. I am in agony but at least I know there'll be an end eventually. Sending you all love xx

Found out the other day that Auckland DHB are providing FREE Calm Birth classes! Dhb Cc what about the pregnant people down here?! The courses are meant to be amazing but are over $400! How amazing would it be if there was more support for pregnant people down here?!

I hear thunder... Hark don't you...

My take: a) violence doesn't solve anything b) making fun of medical conditions is not ok c) how was he allowed to do it and not be removed? d) if my husband punched someone to defend my honour, I'd be furious - I'm perfectly capable of fighting my own battles. And also - see a)

Well... Mr 4 has tested positive. I'm 38 weeks pregnant. Good luck to us!

Something you might not know about having COVID... You're allowed to leave during the isolation period for medical reasons but good luck getting anyone to see you... Wellington SCL won't let you in & GP won't see me (only phone consult, when I need to be seen - not COVID related)

Pilot (to my 5-year-old daughter a few days ago): Do you know you could be a flight attendant when you grow up? 5: I could also own the plane.

*Memory* is incredibly interesting. I've been studying it for a few years and hardly scratched the surface! Here are 3 key things I've learned and what I think they might mean for teachers... 🧵

Mr 4½ has become extremely taken by Māori myths and legends and now has a huge interest in visiting a Marae. Does anyone know where in Wellington we could do this? I have explained we can't just go in coz we need a pōwhiri to be welcomed and he's obsessed with the idea.

I live in NZ but am shedding a few tears today
