After 2 weeks of resting and healing my slipped disc, I can now stand and sit on my kneeling chair for very short periods wearing a back brace! 😁 🥳 The kitchen table is now transformed into a standing desk, and I'm taking the opportunity to edit an upcoming podcast.. Step by step getting better! 😅

I've been a bit quiet because... 🤕

During lockdown I'd been working a lot when I got a bit of backpain... I changed to a standing desk and thought it could solve it. It didn't. One day I woke up and COULD NOT MOVE. An MRI scan showed I slipped a disc in my back. Ouch. The worst pain of my life!😩

I've been resting A LOT and am recovering.🤞🙏

COOL LANGUAGE TOOL:
As I pretty much can't do anything but watch Netflix, I've discovered a very COOL chrome extension for learning languages. It's called Learning Languages with Netflix. It's free to use with your Netflix account. (Do a Google search for it). You can watch films and series and see subtitles in TWO LANGUAGES at the SAME TIME! It's brilliant, I'm using it to learn Italian 😃.

With lots of legal English dramas on Netflix you can improve your legal English with this extension too.
