@lottiekins some inspiring answers - as an early retiree from medicine I’m considering returning to learning, motivated simply by a thirst for knowledge, but very nervous about my older brain being able to do it!
It’ll probably get a yellow card for this from #FIFA! #Qatar #WorldCup #LGBTQ+
Morning all. Who would love a trip to this beach? It was once used to promote tourism in Thailand, in error. It’s actually one of many superb beaches in #OuterHebrides in #Scotland

It is important to be in the moment, but also to be aware of what “the moment” is: “There are 3 layers to a moment: Your experience, your awareness of the experience, & your story about the experience. Be mindful of the story.” @corymuscara

Relevant to teaching self- & situational-awareness to our #meded trainees (& to ourselves as medical educators), with direct effects on clinical reasoning & decision making.

Lucky to be able to enjoy two fabulous performances recently. Firstly #LivingFilm #Ishiguro with #BillNighy - heartbreaking and heart lifting in equal parts. Secondly #MatthewBourne #SleepingBeauty completely breathtaking choreography and storytelling with the added bonus of a puppet baby!

Firstly, I'd just like to say thank you to all the people who have liked, boosted and commented on my images, and to all the new followers I have. It's rather humbling. 😊

Today's shot comes from a magical day in the Scottish #Highlands, a few years ago, when I was photographing red squirrels.

These charming characters are incredibly agile and can jump great distances between trees.

Here I managed to capture one as it appears to be flying down my lens.

@TheTiredHiker thank you, that is really helpful and encouraging to hear 😊

After having to leave medicine 5 years ago I now, finally, find myself nearing the end of a whole pile of medical and surgical interventions. My first big step is addressing the impact of my experience and accepting the physical limitations I am left with, the next step is then exploring what to do next? I’m inclined towards returning to learning but I’m not sure where to start and I would appreciate any pointers on #OpenUniversity #DistanceLearning #TeachingAnOldDogNewTricks
