Got a wee bit of exciting news. When well enough, I'm part of an international group of writers. Our second anthology has just been published. All proceeds go to @meactnet.bsky.social
I'll remind you all later that this would make an ideal C-word present 😁

Delighted that I’ve secured a debate in Parliament on ‘Government support for ME’ next Wednesday 19 November. This provides a valuable opportunity for MPs to share views - the first in years. I hope that many MPs will join me. Do encourage yours! #pwME

Any suggestions for high background memory use (70-80%)?
I've rebooted a couple of times, done Malwarebytes scan, Task Manager says all the top users are Windows and Dell.
Thanks.

Correct décision but I always feel heart-sorry for the individuals in these cases. All those years of study to find the practice of law isn't for you and break down under the strain.

Every now and again I remind myself of just how extraordinary Egyptian civilisation was 4500 years ago. We're closer in time to Cleopatra than she was to this period.

It's lovely that Martin has enhanced his legendary status. I hope he's replaced soon and strolls off wondering what just happened, rather than suffer some daft defeat.
