Basking in the pleasure of ME/CFS, I ramble physically, verbally and mentally around Scotland. Lost forever in the Scots Mist of my mind.

Too ill for DMs or even holding chats via posts.

A new Gaelic children's book will be published which tells the story of the Afro-Gaelic people in Scotland and about children who have to deal with a new environment. The story, 'Anesu and the Water Creatures' is about a young woman from Zimbabwe who came to live in Scotland.

Changing street names etc. hides the past.

Keep the original names and explain where they came from and what the people did.

Re-writing history is never a good idea.

New painting.

‘A Waverley Ceilidh’, Edinburgh.

The architecture, lines, colour, laid bare in my mixed media, it needed extra. After visiting the city a few wks ago, I picked up mags/leaflets & used some to collage into my artwork. Happy.

Keep sharing your Long Covid stories to drive research. Together we cannot be ignored.

Hope looks like finding what biomarkers make us different that leads to how to fix them.
'New biomarker may be the first specific and quantifiable indicator for confirming long COVID'

'Researchers from..Translational Genomics Research Institute..Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation-UCLA Medical..have identified a potential biomarker..'
