Earlier. 6000 years ago old, the Coldrum Stones lie near the Pilgrims’ Way. In his ‘Antiquities of Cornwall’, published in 1754, William Borlas stated that the name ‘Coldrum’ came from the Cornish word ‘Galdrum’ meaning ‘a place of enchantment.’

1862. It’s after visiting hours at the Cape Misfortune Asylum - but a visitor has turned up nonetheless. Is he the terrifying Krampus of local folklore - or a madman escaped from the isolation ward? Either way, his story is beyond belief!

Everyday is a the beginning of a new dream in a way. We go to sleep dreaming of tomorrow and wake up and dare to dream. But when you have ME/CFS, so often day after day is a heartbreaking betrayal of those dreams by our bodies and minds and by the entire world around us. #MECFS #LongCovid

Interesting, elegant study suggesting a possible reason #longCovid is more common among women. For Covid infected mice, prolonged cognitive problems (measured e.g. by maze tests) – a 'proxy' for long Covid- were more common among females. As was a stronger immune response.

1) Impressive study from Johns Hopkins researchers.
They infected mice with SARS-CoV-2, found that female mice had a stronger immune response and more cognitive problems after 84 days than males, and that this was due to overexpression of genes such as Tlr7 on the X chromosome.

I’ve watched so many horror films recently that they all blurring into one. A woman moves into a rural setting and is spooked by a series of increasingly upsetting possibly supernatural events.
