How and where?

Watching in horror, but yes, we're OK x

I don't come on here much but I've been thinking about you lots especially this week. Hope you're doing OK.

Not all heroes wear capes

Thanks, I've family in Saltcoats a few roads back from the front, and Glasgow

Watching the progress of #StormEowyn as it moves now in to Scotland, and the live cameras from North Ayrshire. I've family on the coast there, and in Glasgow, and feeling a bit nervous for them though thankfully they're tucked up at home.

Hope you dodge the worst of it. I've family just over on the mainland. I'm right in the middle of England (Sheffield), but even here we've had tree and roof damage in some places.

How is it over there so far?

How is it there today?

The new ones seem to be working :)

I've been taken off mine (ADHD) due to side effects - back to re-starting titration again in the new year.

Any recommendations on the science front?

It was also quite reassuring that I think so far we're approaching this "right". It's a really really key message that there has to be a "new normal" after recovery, and it's going to take considerable time to figure out what that looks like (which the formal education system makes incredibly hard).

My copy arrived yesterday and I binge read quite a chunk of it already to support my son (who's a bit young for it directly). Any thoughts on places to go for support for parents managing this within the reality of the non home-ed education system to get sufficient "space" for recovery?

Guardian and Observer journalists have asked people not to share Guardian stories for 48 hours from midnight tonight (Tues), to respect their strike and the virtual picket line

I'm not brave, or new, or for that matter, a wonder - I'm here though if that counts

thank you, I'll check that out - burnout is our current reality and it's tough
