National reflections on local issues... Not sure what this says, but I like the colours 🌈

totally - entire homes get damp, not just the seeholes. We spent about £300 on a dehumidifier - it made a massive difference to our home and the health of our children. We certainly struggled to afford it but very glad we made the effort.

As I understand, the ban on using UK plasma was lifted in 2022. I hope that this means the UK is now using UK sourced plasma with clear chains from done to recipient.

There's a reverence that nurses have for every of unit of blood we give. This isn't a drug made in a factory, this is a gift from one stranger to another. Every donation saves lives.

This is the problem with vapes... Much less packaging, it's impossible to get any serious science done.
