"Witches' Night" is here! May Day Eve (Apr 30) is Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis Night) across parts of Europe. Known as "the other Halloween", it's a time when witches and evil spirits take to the skies for a little mischief. 🎨Bernard Zuber #MayDay #Walpurgisnacht #FairytaleTuesday

I haven't taken a major medicine methotrexate for 4 weeks now because I've simply been too ill. If that sounds peculiar, it is. The chronically ill will understand this otherworldly paradox. Sometimes you are too ill to be treated. The drugs are simply too strong.
