Some of my favourite posts - a sort of retrospective post.

Occasionally I have what I think of as quite a good idea or at least an enjoyable notion so I've gathered up some of those posts, tagged them as 'brilliant wheezes' and have listed my favourites below. 

This blog has been running for twelve years now and most posts are 'hyperlocal' to a particular thought or event (eg a conference I've been to or something in the news), others are a bit more timeless... I hope you enjoy them :)

I've also been blogging long enough to know that shortly after publication of this post I'll start getting enthusiastic spam emails from people who hope that I can add a link to their really useful (and totally relevant) post on breathing difficulties ;)

Combining Careers - the interdisciplinary game / activity (30 June 2020)
- loved this idea of making a game of trying to think up possible careers based on picking any two subjects. I was very pleased to discover hairdressing archaeology, where someone works out the topology of complicated hairstyles of yore.
