Living with illness•Sick Wednesday

The day after

30/08/2017 by microandfriends No Comments
So, it’s the day after the conference presentation. M gave a very good presentation (in my humble opinion) at the Escom 2017 in Ghent (Belgium), together with our friend and consultant Psychiatrist D.

And today is the day after (retrospectively posted since the Escom was at the beginning of August, but we then traveled to Germany/France/Spain without time to post this…).

Now, usually and for most people, an academic conference such as this one is a good opportunity to share your latest research, network with other specialists and academics in your field, listen to other people’s findings and presentations, and come away inspired and with lots of new ideas and energy as you re-immerse yourself into your studies at your home university or institute.

Meet the gang

 

Hello, we’re two expat friends (aka Tournesol and Tigerduck) and a dog (Micro-the-Dog, aka “the boss”). After living in London for 18 and 16 years respectively (or 5 years in the case of Micro), we’ve just made a leap of faith back across the channel and are building a new life in Munich. Thank you for reading our musings about the world, life, living with CFIDS/ME, music, crafts, dogs and other observations.

Instagram post 2154530792198409784_1566884 Morning dog walk, pleasant moment meeting lovely dogs and people. After that it went downhill with files that mysteriously disappeared and people not reading notes issuing bills twice, again with the wrong amount. Whyyyyy?
