A question for the #LongCOVID community...if you're "better now", what's your memory like to write, say, a weekly report and what's your handwriting like now for making notes compared to before?

I can read as well and as much as ever but when it comes to writing things down (or even typing!) I add or forget letters and loops all the flipping time. I know handwriting is really complex in terms of brain, fine motor control etc, but I used to like my handwriting!
😁😁😁 Finally I can replace a slightly tarnished, matte silver @Girlguiding 10 service badge with a super shiny 20 year badge (@ggdorset @GirlguidingSWE ) Alt: Pale blue Girlguidibg badge tab with promise badge, @WAGGGSWorld badge, Dorset badge & 10 and 20 year bars)

No sunrise over the New Forest on this morning's train journey. Lots of flurries of leaves falling as we go past though

The only good thing about being on the 0641 train to London is watching the sun come up over the New Forest

Stage 2 Fire Starter skills builder complete 😊 @Girlguiding @GirlguidingSWE @ggdorset (Any other leaders of a certain age end up with the Prodigy song stuck in their head after doing this one? 😂 ) That said, the Brownies were happy singing the Hey Duggee stick song
☺️ I've got a Brownie who's decided that she wants to stay in @Girlguiding forever! We were talking about fire safety and what you need to make a fire, and how difficult it would be on the top of Mt Everest. Then I said I'd been to see Everest with @GirlguidingSWE and she lit up

Hmm, scrolled up further and discovered that Jorts was also considering an early night
And there I was, already giving myself a limit for how long to read tonight so that this scenario didn't happen 😉 teapawt.org/MicroSFF/status/157261…
Home group was back and it was lovely 🥰

The Tories seem happy to have the country eating scraps from table of the wealthy. They call it ‘aspiration’. Sadly, the reason so many vote for them, cos they think they might sit at that table too one day. Let’s have a buffet instead, where everyone gets a good feed! ✌🏽😘

The view while writing up notes from today's visit ☺️ Alt: view of Swanage Station from a shady bench surrounded by trees. There's a steam train coming in to the platform. For perfectly good reasons 🤷🏼‍♀️, the engine is running "backwards" with carriages hitched to it's front

Elsa is confused about why we have stopped. It's our linear walk since I got COVID back in May alt: a black and brown dog is panting and looking up at the camera. The ground is covered in fallen orange pine needles teapawt.org/JesusOfNaz316/status/1…
When we eat plants we kinda run on star power.

If it's not Thursday, why can I hear fireworks?
Making frozen yoghurt for the dog because it is too hot 🥵 (Dog is sitting next to me on the sofa, sharing the cool breeze from the fan) Alt: 2 little dishes with a few teaspoons of plain Greek yogurt bound for the freezer
If you were my other 6 grey squares, where on earth would you be?!! 🤔😮‍💨 (Alt: a pile of silver grey crocheted squares pinned onto a wooden "blocking" board to encourage them to be flat and square rather than crumpled and rounded)

Answer: in the messy pile of things that got "tidied" into a box and shoved in the spare room before people came round and then was forgotten about. Alt: scruffy pile of crochet square next to near tower on the blocking board
