Yup. I live in a London Borough and our bus network is unbelievable. 5 routes stop at the top of my road and they are regular,reliable and clean (most are new, electric).

Son just came downstairs with the the same story and in a quite self-congratulatory mood as he’s building a new pc and pre-bought the RAM.

Maybe they should also look at the increasing intolerance of anything or anyone ‘different’ within society. The word ‘inclusion’ is bandied around, but there doesn’t seem to be much of it about. If someone’s struggling with lack of reasonable adjustments, they objectively need that diagnosis.

We have a ‘thing’ (not unrelated to a family of hypermobile hands/fingers) where we all use gifts bags. We don’t write the labels (sticky notes inside where needed). Then they get reused until they basically fall apart.

Ah, never thought of that.

I have one on my desk! You are right, really helps.

That’ll be Guys.

On the nose. Thank you for articulating it so well. I’m 57 and was diagnosed with hypermobile EDS at 45. Yes, I have arthritis in various bits and pieces (and am mid another root canal!) but am mostly living well with it these days. I wish you well as you’re working through what it all means.

That’s on the nose, eh.

Oh that takes me back! Yup, literally glowing. I can’t take anything hormonal or herbal/soy etc. (high risk family for breast cancer). I’m learning to go with it. Most of the time. 🫣

Me too!

I just Googled how long it will last. Average 4 to 7 years. So, that’s nice! Official advice is to wear layers. Never thought of that. 🙃
