I have a YouTube channel "Doctor Gemma". Flash tips (1 minute or less) around surviving the pandemic and longer strategy discussions.
Buy Dr Gemma a Ko-Fi, if you're enjoying the podcast and feeling up to it. Remember that I am still working, though, so feel free to give the money to a charity instead.
I will NOT add you to any of my follower groups currently, due to robo-accounts. Please follow me here. You can contact me through our group on Ravelry or on this blog.
Warm Thanks :
Again, for the condolences for our Blankets. Our heartfelt condolences go out to our own Sagepecas, who has lost two members of her family this week in the form of two well loved and long-lived cats. She requests that we talk about mourning for pets, which is a very appropriate topic to cover, so I will work on that for this episode.
Sustainablelivin: finds my voice calming and is the second person to tell me that she uses the podcast to fall asleep at night. As to my being attacked while running, I've actually been attacked multiple times, hit by cars twice...women running alone face many challenges.
Salpal: do the Frankensocks!
Knitonepugtwo: reports using baby signing with her family even to this day, especially the signs for "more" and "all done" when saying these things aloud might insult a host at a party, for example.
Chrisaah reports that "yarning" as storytelling is also a vital part of indigenous Australian people as a means of transmitting culture.
