    We need a chapter on what to do when your toddler starts climbing.

    *EDIT* DOH! Wrong thread.

    The above made me smile though...

    I passed my bike test. This allows me to look at big engine bikes and smile some more...

    Big engine bike? Isn't your legs the only engine of a bike or at the most a small electric motor in the case of an e-bike? Or are you talking about a motorcycle (which seems more logical to need a test for)?

    Hello foreign language I don't know that looks written just similar enough that I would try to translate it and probably be horribly wrong.

    It's Swedish for Orange Tree Garden. According to Google Translate:

    Everyone has their own orange tree. In some, many oranges grow and on others only a few. But every day it grows new.
    Each orange gives you the power to do different things. Like to dress, eat, talk, shower or shop.
    Elina's mother does not have so many oranges on her tree. They disappeared one day because she died too much for a long time.

    A book about fatigue syndrome.

    The book is intended as support for affected families with children.


    It sounds like a very sweet book. :smile:

    Sounds a bit like spoon theory in the US.

    I much prefer the image of the orange tree, however.

    Yeah, it’s exactly the Spoon theory but with oranges. I do think the metaphor works better with oranges. And they are more fun to draw than spoons

    I've had to explain spoon theory so many times and the abstraction of the analogy has been difficult for some people to grasp.

    Oranges on a tree seems to be an easier concept than explaining how some woman unconnected to the current situation was explaining to a friend in a restaurant how many spoons she had to do basic activities.

    Especially as to why you "get the spoons back when you rest."

    Good work!
