Why 'menopause masking' can have consequences - as I discovered Concealing symptoms of menopause can have knock-on effects for some women, such as increasing the risk of burnout

A really good, well-researched piece about how powerful this stage of women's lives can be. If we are asked only 'negative' questions, we ignore the positives. As Margaret Mead states: "There is no greater power in the world than the zest of a postmenopausal woman."

Hippos can run faster than humans on land, and swim faster than humans in water Your only chance of beating a hippo in a triathlon is the bicycle. an image of a large river hippo walking towards the camera. it churns up some water into a froth and disturbs some green reeds at the edge of the river.

It's the same problem we faced in the late 90s when everything started moving online, but lots of people still didnt have internet access. Although this has a lot more political issues associated with it.

I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called! We used to go regularly when we lived in Whitehough. There were certainly some odd things there, yes! And a good cafe.

We used to have an otter sanctuary here in the Peak District (near Chapel-en-le-Frith). I used to love going to see them. Sadly it closed and the animals were relocated down south somewhere...

There's a bit in the last 'Outlander' book (Go Tell the Bees) where they mention that bees sleep holding each other's feet. And these are!

Brilliant day at our annual #SHUTeachmeet yesterday. All the team pulled the stops out and we hope all the attendees enjoyed it, too. We had a grand day sharing experiences of #inclusion #EEDI #equalitydiversityinclusion Very important to continue good work and practice in the current climate.
