So whilst I’ve been quiet on here since mum left teaching, I’ve been rather busy with other projects. 6, to be precise….

@emmccatt Oooh, and my take on am M&S salad - edamame beans, shredded apple, chopped cucumber, spring onion, sugar snap peas, broccoli, courgette & coriander leaves. Dressing - apple juice, ginger pulp, lime juice, finely chopped mint and a spoonful of mustard (whatever was in fridge!)

@emmccatt Another fav is cous cous, made up with veg stock but then juice of several lemons squeezed over. Stir in chopped flat leaf parsley, mint, sugar snap peas and spring onions, with a good grind of pepper.

@emmccatt Love a mango and halloumi salad (with mixed leaves, cucumber etc). Or else had a great one that was pear (thin slithers!), mixed leaves, chunks of Camembert (torn and placed artistically! 😂) and caramelised walnuts. Also had Parma ham, but I reckon would be great without.

About 3mths ago I had covid for the 2nd time. After the 1st bout, about 3mths later I had crippling anxiety & a really bad flare up of fibro. I put it down to my husband & best mate both having been in ICU fighting for their lives. But here it is again. Anxiety & fibro flare.

Twitter has limited my account for allegedly violating its spam rules. Ok, so I’ve tweeted more than usual this month…but hardly spam. @Twitter can you throw some light on it, please??

@AnnamariaBevan It’s what I strongly believe in. And what I wanted for my school. But the pressures of Ofsted leave very little space for it. I strongly disagree with the way our education system has gone that denies such fundamental things. 😞

Long periods of uninterrupted play! I've known it's right in my heart for years and been providing these experiences for years but Froebel Trust training and supportive resources help us to articulate the 'why' behind what we offer. We know it's right for children but why?
Froebel Trust@FroebelTrust

"Froebel teaches us that children need uninterrupted stretches of time to engage deeply in their play and creative endeavours..." writes Rachel Griffiths in a new article about the need to make more time for #play & #creativity in our primary #schools : froebel.org.uk/news/froebelia…

@neuroteachers Maybe, just maybe, it’s to attract those who think of such parents as uncooperative and hostile, and the aim is to reframe the attendees’ thinking?? Yeah, I know, wishful thinking…

Why am I writing this? Not for anyone to read, as such (though thank you if you did!) but more as a reminder to me the next time I think of myself as lazy, or over exaggerating - #Fibromyalgia is real. The pain, the fatigue, the guilt, the frustration, the lot - it’s real.

I try to live as normal a life as possible, but it’s such a balancing act. By going out and socialising yesterday I’ve lost at least a day of study. (I still feel awful) But, with a hubby and son with autism, that social time is also a battery-charger of sorts for me.

One of the things I despise most about #Fibromyalgia is how much I second guess myself. (Forget others second guessing me!) On a good day, I question just how bad the pain was, or how crippling the fatigue when I spent a day in bed - perhaps I’m just over exaggerating. Or lazy.

@katecracknell I’m dreading Sunday too. My dad passed in January. 🥲 Hope you can find something or someone to help you get through the day.

Just over three weeks ago we buried my amazing dad. The church was packed. Mum’s been sent hundreds of cards. And now Sunday is Father’s Day. My first without my friend, my hero, my dad. I miss him more than words can say.
