Mealtimes should be nourishing - both physiologically & emotionally. But, hospital eating environments in mental health wards don't always create the best setting for healing. Take a look at our animation with @susanguthrieslt.bsky.social exploring patient stories: vimeo.com/1041186684...

Physio thinks i have a meniscus injury 😭pain in my knee, it feels weak, it hurts if I bend it, straighten it or it twists. Physio also thinks it’s because my left knee has been overcompensating for my bad right ankle since my accident almost 3 years ago! So fed up with being in pain

Ginny is having one of the screws in her knee removed on Monday. Her 4th procedure on the knee since the end of 2022. Poor girl.

Ginny is having an xray on her knee this morning. I don’t do well when she is in the vets for a procedure. I probably wont be calm until I know she is okay and awake. Hopefully it’s only something small and she won’t need another knee surgery. She’s been through a lot in the past few years.

#RecipeOfTheDay is a soothing soup for those struck down with seasonal lurgy, though it’s lovely, too, for those of us who are not afflicted. It’s Cauliflower, Garlic and Turmeric Soup! www.nigella.com/recipes/caul...

It’s the 19th of December in NZ, which means my dad is 80 🎈🥂🎁 he’s loving the videos I got his friends to do and is so happy with all your memories of Smollensky’s… Just wish I was there to celebrate too 😔

I have a niche request for any restaurants lovers who happen to remember the Smollensky’s restaurants in London… could you please share with me your happy memories of visiting there… my dad who founded and owned them is turning 80 very soon and i’d love to share some stories.

Can anyone link me to some food education resources aimed at adults? They all seem to be aimed at children… thanks 🙏🏽

It’s been a week since Ginny was attacked and she’s been signed of by the vet. Her wounds are healing well and she’s had an off lead run around. We are still dealing with the daycare side of things.
