[su_dropcap style=”simple” size=”5″]S[/su_dropcap]o, 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…).

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.
