@EcSocHistScot Very interesting article by @KS_McCrossan.

Just watched #CallTheMidwife. Very interesting to see the portrayal of a father's emotional experience of neonatal death during the 1960s. Such an incredible programme.

That feeling when you can access archives and don't have lots of hoops to jump through/ passwords you made up 3 years ago.

Last week I presented at the Rotary Club of Motherwell and Wishaw on the work of Glasgow Evening Times cartoonist Willie Gall (1959-2004). I ended with this original illustration. Seems like a similar situation now in 2020!

@sophiealmond1 I know. I’ve had both of mine infected even though I floss, mouthwash, use straws. Stress can also affect them. If it’s bad try an emergency appointment. Antibiotics help so much after a few days.
