Wandering about slowly, with ME/CFS. Enough now, I need a nap.

They fought for your right to vote. How ever you use it, please use it.. #Sheffield

@doggie3132 @SheffPeregrines Was down at St George’s c. 1pm. All three chicks on E ledge, flapping furiously. 1 parent on S ledge. Then all 3 took short practice flights. One failed to land back on ledge, and swooped away squawking followed by parent. When I left, 1 chick back on buttress, parent back.

@james_a_drury Went to see Tish today with our Isobel. Fantastic. Loved the way it melded history & politics & life, but the way it highlights her photography is superb.
I think my fav is the kid dangling from the playframe.

I am going through hell trying to deal with #USS & #MECFS. Here’s how I’m trying to get through this with my daughters:

[Alistair McMillan @AlMcM]

My NI card from the ‘80s has a very professional (ahem, I did it myself) fake date of birth printed on it. Let me buy many pints as a 17 yr old.
Signed-on so many times I can still remember my NI number.

@robfordmancs I like this thread.

I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

Happy Winter Solstice December 2022

@HerbertoDhanis Thank you. If I hadn’t learnt how to be tired, I’d be dancing around the room. 💃

[Alistair McMillan @AlMcM]

I’m so annoyed by this. Guess it’s done by some paid by Qatar bot shite, But I love keeping up with Sheffield Peregrines, and a bit of a lifeline, as someone with. ME/CFS. Oh, I’m angry.

[Sheffield Peregrines @SheffPeregrines]

Pickles the peregrine?

[Alistair McMillan @AlMcM]

@MSmithsonPB @YouGov How can 32% still think this was a good choice? Chaos in Northern Ireland, economic slump, pain in the arse going to (or trading with) EU.

[Alistair McMillan @AlMcM]

@SheffPeregrines What is this nonsense. The Sheffield Peregines are not interested in this corrupt shambles.
Expect they’ll be flying over Bramall Lane wondering why no games on.

[Alistair McMillan @AlMcM]

I am the kind of person who likes to spend hours exploring historical maps, and this is just SUPERB!

[Alistair McMillan @AlMcM]

Yes, I’d vote for that.

[Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott]

Starmer thinks a "green growth plan" is the answer to Truss's tax cuts.
"Yes!! I'll vote for that!" said nobody ever.

[Alistair McMillan @AlMcM]

I should be a vocal advocate for ME/CFS. I was an academic involved in public policy. But I’m just too tired.

[Paula Knight @Paula_JKnight]

1 Aside from government/ funding neglect, one of the reasons #ME, and as a result, Long Covid, haven't got help yet, is that an energy impaired community has been too sick and disabled to organise in traditional ways.

An amazing place, and liked reading about its key location in the Sheffield Gang Wars - where they gambled on pitch & toss. Unfortunately still a dump. Should be a nice park with fantastic views.

[Alistair McMillan @AlMcM]

This seems sensible, from a low base.
Took me c. 3 years to get a diagnosis, and then another year to get ‘treatment’. Which was a chat & useful advice on how to manage stuff. Meanwhile dealing with ill-health retirement. I’d kick up a fuss, but I’m tired #MECFS
