1. Meso She/Her
2. Grizzled Veteran! Also with experience of being mostly bed-bound for several months
3. reading and re-watching my DVD box sets (100% Escapism)
4. I saw a post on my reading page and thought it might be good for getting new ideas or giving me something different to do when I can't sleep.
5. With my internet being so unreliable now there is so much more strain on my local area's system I don't know if I can offer much, except that the comments I make (when/if I can make them) will probably be one or two paragraphs long!!
