Isla

@JasenBooton @Booktrust I bought this book for my then 1 year old at a 2nd handbook sale, and he still loves it at 7 years old. It has prompted so many wonderful conversations and imaginative storytelling sessions. It is now my go-to infant/toddler birthday present idea.

21 years ago my wife and I received a complimentary copy of You Choose courtesy of the wonderful charity @Booktrust to share with our newborn daughter. As a primary phase teacher I have shared it ever since with pupils of all ages - it is by far my favourite picture book.

Our second year OT students enjoyed learning about posture and seating today. Thank you @Wee_Little_Isla from @LincolnshireCC for a very informative session

@UoL_OT @LincolnshireCC Thank you for having me! 😊 always fun to get people to throw toys at each other and lay on the floor!

@Peakester What about the fact I now how a proper northern partner who bloody loves pies, does that mean it would be more worth it? 😂

@Wee_Little_Isla If you were here and needed somewhere to eat, then yes. These days I don’t think it’s as good as it used to be, so I wouldn’t travel for it especially anymore

Hey twitter, before my friend gets here: which pie?

Come work with me!! (and other amazing OTs) m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

@musedNeuroOT I've still got the textbook! I got you and mini Ed 🤏🏻

@Wee_Little_Isla Probably a textbook and some uplifting words in a card... I was going through a phase.

I referred to this 'Embracing risk,...' document in a student seminar today! For some reason I gave an example of crossing the road to get to the fish and chip shop 🙃

@musedNeuroOT @Ruth_Henderson9 I'm now trying to remember if you got a fish and chips for me?!

@Wee_Little_Isla @Ruth_Henderson9 😬 And I still do that with my recent students on placement with me 😋 There was that time (fish and) chips was a leaving gift for some students 😬 Yeah... I have a problem...

@musedNeuroOT @Ruth_Henderson9 😂 And he spoke about fish and chips ALL THE TIME!

@Wee_Little_Isla @Ruth_Henderson9 ...and then there was this one called 'Ed'... he just wanted to do OT with cats and other animals

Nothing says "birthday annual leave" more than your car breaking down during the school run. #typical #nocakeforbreakfastforme

@Ruth_Henderson9 @musedNeuroOT I discuss types of risk with students coming in to my team, like you used to discuss with me, and I usually start with "a wise OT once told me..."

@musedNeuroOT Wonderful to hear it is being referred to as we had hoped when we made it! Also, fab choice of occupation with the fish and chips 🤩

@musedNeuroOT We could go on animal OT adventures!

@Wee_Little_Isla The alternative of getting struck off with you as my cheerleader would be an interesting turn of events...

On the theme of branding... I need to sort a headshot for three professional things... any thoughts which one I should go for?

@musedNeuroOT Well, if you want to go down the "no fun but also won't get taken off the HCPC register" route then go ahead but don't expect my further support 😂

@Wee_Little_Isla 🤣 I think I will end up going for something very conservative and no cat 🥱

@MichelleMamode @musedNeuroOT I like the one with the cat because... Cat... But also quite like the sausage one for its pornographic undertones.

@musedNeuroOT 😻😻😻 Meow

Also, I asked my 4 yo to get dressed for school 7 times this morning. I then gave him a full 10 minutes to go & fulfil my request before finding him dancing in his bedroom with his pants on over his PJs. And he then had the audacity to say "you seem grumpy" #parenting #parent

@Peakester Definitely, we'll try and sort a date!

@Wee_Little_Isla This sounds as chaotic as my career Isla, not gonna lie. We need a catch up!

*gets made lead OT for Lincolnshire seating clinic* Me: YAY! *seats don't turn up, rep is ill and cancels, parts are lost, small fire ignites in the corner* Me: "oh"

@Munromagic I want more Twitter content like this from you.

@Peakester I have a fan on every night no matter how cold. Daz has given up trying to convince me not to. I have now purchased one for next to the bed at his house too.

I guess marriage is fighting with Charlotte over whether we need the fan on in the bedroom for the rest of my life

@musedNeuroOT Always! You can never be too safe!

@Wee_Little_Isla Honestly did you read ALL the e-learning? Did you? 🤨
