Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

My attitude to tech is I want to control it. As soon as it starts making the decisions for me I switch the device off. The old hand making did have advantages in that there were some things machinery never managed to replicate.
There's a few effigies dedicated to the Luddites only a couple of miles from us, Shimmers xxx
Stressy loves watching 'how do they do that' type progs, bit like through the round window on Playschool used to be, showing factory processes etc
I find it hilarious that despite miles and millions of pounds of technology they usually still need a bloke with a little stick to poke something

Even down this way there were major riots in the countryside when the traction engines started the whole process of driving people off the land and into the industrial towns. Some people were sent to Australia. At this point I pause and try to think of a polite way to continue.
A Chippendale. No computerised affair could ever produce unique furniture of the same quality.
