    Or was inspired by one of the songs from Matilda? The musical version, that is. ;)

    General Medical issues thread

    I remember when I was taking iron supplements and my GP told me to avoid taking the tablets with tea or red wine. I was so confused - why on earth would I be chasing down an iron tablet with wine at breakfast time?? :P Noted about taking the supplement after food, though I much prefer the...

    She has menorrhagia and we try to keep up the dietary iron, she was on iron tablets until last year's infusion. Luckily she likes broccoli, and we probably have red meat at least 2-4 times/week, with some lunches included in that count.

    Have some similar, but not identical issues. Teen had her first iron infusion in Nov/Dec and now looking at some other things, but not intending to poke around much even though I asked about checking for endo. I frequently have to pick up the Teen from school in the first days of her period...

    No. I checked for points fares, not available. Peeved at the non-flying family members who think points can be used anytime, even T-4 days before on a Dash 8 route with what 70? 80? seats available.

    What cheeses me off

    When my mother (apparently) is told that a funeral will be in Roma, Qld, and she trusts that because the person telling her is the adult child of the recently deceased woman. Despite this woman's husband being buried in Winton. And all of her children know fury would rain (reign?) upon them if...

    What cheeses me off

    Had another session with her yesterday. She gleefully told me about another client she was doing some agility work with. Who had slipped somewhere due to a slippery surface, broken a shoulder or something ... but overall I got the impression this other person was likely 15-20 years older than...

    TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

    I've just realised I was completely confused about some of the actors in The Artful Dodger. I thought Eugene Gilfedder was playing the Prof, but it's Kim Gyngell. I blame all the facial hair for confusing me.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Trusted my weather app that rain in Sydney would clear on Sat arvo for our walk from Wynyrd station to the West Curio hotel. We arrived like somewhat drowned rats. :/

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Interesting experience for our BNE-SYD flight yesterday. Left the lounge when boarding was called, walked to gate 18, priority line was empty, we joined it, scanned theough and hit a big queue to board. Luckily not too full a flight, so no issues with overhead space.

    Probably, but I suddenly felt in the category of her mother! I mean, Mr Katie may be 53, but I'm not 50 yet!!! :P

    Little things I like

    As a flip to my post in WCMO - my Physio yesterday was happy with my body, apart from the work we need to do on my hips/lower back. As I had back/hip pain for around 10 years, when we were discussing the latest issues initially, he was thinking bursitis, maybe needed some hip imaging done, etc...

    Saw the physio yesterday due to some ongoing back problems. I'd trained at the gym with my PT on Weds morning, and she was keen to hear what the physio said. Anyway, he asked for some agility exercises to be added to my regime. I trained with the PT again this morning, and she said she was...
