Monday Brain Training Wakeup

Monday Brain Training Wakeup, click through the 'start test' image above straight away to begin.

A very kind friend sent this one through to me this morning, obviously knows my brain is in need of some waking up this Monday morning!

Confession, I had to do it twice before I got to 100%.  You can surely beat that! It's a fun little test to wake your brain up for work.

Now if you are in the UK, the sun is shining - so will it be gardening and vegetable plot planting taking precedent over work this morning?

If so, take the test tomorrow! 

Have fun...

Stroke of Insight into Brain Chatter

Brain Chatter experienced by Jill Bolte Taylor when she 'observed' her body and mind during a potentially fatal stroke. 

She tells her fascinating, moving story with humor in this video, which presents an amazing insight into the way our complex minds work and how it battles for our survival.

Jill found her nirvana, something she describes as such a gift

A video worth watching.

In Stitches

For Friends:

I've just returned from having a little biopsy procedure on my head, resulting in one blue stitch, what a color to use! The thread of which is sticking up through my hair .... I am hoping nobody mistakes it for a foreign body and tries to 'pluck' it out!

I can't wash my hair for over a week either, so no live meetings for me! Going through my wardrobe looking for a hat ;>)

Great Mums & Soup

One of the great things about Mums is that they make the best homemade soups, filled with all the healthy goodness you need to help you recover from a bad bout of illness. 

Unfortunately I had a really bad bout of illness and am still recovering, but i am so lucky to have my Mum here with me (she's on holiday - poor woman)!

BIG hugs to my Mum today, must dash my soup is ready.
