A health-related placeholder

I don't appear to have actually mentioned here that one of the reasons I've not been around much this autumn/winter is that as of about October I have been dealing with fatigue of the "sleep 16 hours a day" variety, which was diagnosed by local-GP as anaemia; I was given iron supplements and sent on my way, no further investigation required or so they said.

The iron helped quite a lot for a fortnight but I've just had another span of days where I just... need to sleep a lot. There's various other Health Misc going on that might be inflammatory/autoimmune-cluster nonsense or might just be coincidence, but given my family history of pernicious anaemia I... am going to get a second opinion from a different GP in a fortnight or so's time?

Like. Fundamentally that won't help much with the bit where most of why I've been writing more here over the past fortnight is I've been aggressively ignoring PhD writing, but it might help with some of the limited-energy-for-anything.

While I'm talking about theatre

The other Forward Arena production I've seen (this one sadly only twice) is Children and Animals. C+A is a charming little one-hour show about anxiety, relationships, communication, stories, sex work and kink. As far as I know, it hasn't been peformed since 2016 and is unlikely to get staged by Forward Arena again, which on the one hand I can understand and on the other think is rather a pity.
