Seen my GP. She wasn't particularly worried, but wanted to see me before she left for a while. (The automatic system had only let me book a locum).
She did refer me to a neurologist, both for the tremor and the eye thing.
Waiting time should be around 30 minutes.

New figures from Canadian Cancer Society confirm a troubling trend. “It’s frustrating to see this happen for a cancer that is completely preventable.”

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

I had made an appointment with the GP to discuss the propapronol and its uselessness in stopping the tremors.
I also mentioned that my eye moved to the top corner now and again.
So today I got a phonecall asking me to come today instead next week. I was a bit hesitant (unwise?) so the assistant

URGENT: tomorrow there is a vote on the Govt's Planning & Infrastructure Bill.
This says that developers will be able to destroy wildlife & their habitats WITHOUT AN ECOLOGICAL SURVEY long as they pay into a central restoration fund.
We can't destroy nature and recreate it elsewhere! TBC 1/

Being too tired for a swim, so decided to go for a walk
ALT today's pics are of paths in the forest. They are all grassy, but the last one also features a heron (very hard to see)

Very tired
Went to linocut today, I was still a bit woozy from all the extra drugs I had taken for the dentist yesterday. And the linocut was exhausting as well. (And I think the raise in propranolol also had an effect).
Anyway, no real option to go to bed yet, need to cook for the guests

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

So, I am in the return metro from the oral hygienist.
She was really nice and friendly and said she would try to do whatever she could to make it as easy as possible. She took breaks every time I had to gag (every other minute or so) so it took a while. But I managed a fait bit of the routine

Today we went to an education day from a revalidation clinic for a program my husband got enrolled it. It is not specific for long covid but the psychologist(organizing) said they would adjust the program per persoon and if it was too much he could reduce the hours. They seemed ok
