#Disabled folks - I'm looking for stickers to put on my new all-terrain walking cane. It's very basic black, and looking at it makes me grumpy! I need suggestions for where to buy funny (including sarky), cute decals. Hi-vis also useful. Preferably from queer and/or disabled creators and UK based

So yesterday sucked. Grief hit hard (it's 5 years since we lost my father-in-law). Then I had to speak to the GP since I've been having tests because of a series of odd health issues. Turns out I have another inherited autoimmune disease that can only be managed, not cured 😭 I'm having a duvet day

Norwegian family research oddities... a thread. I'll start by saying that I've been researching my heritage for about a decade - I'm from the Borders where the Norwegian army in exile was based. Norwegian names are not uncommon in my Scottish home town #Norge #Norway #genealogy #Scotland
