I know. There are something like 40k deaths from sepsis in the UK each year. Not all of them would have been prevented by this blood tests of course but there are so, so many where it is dismissed as something else or diagnosed too late. Actor Jason Watkins has spoken a lot about losing his little girl to sepsis when it went undiagnosed by doctors. This test would be a huge game changer. Simple and not invasive either so hopefully it will go through the trials quickly.

Got up this morning to watch the livestream of the Solstice sun shining into Newgrange over in Donore, Ireland.Partner said if I watch it a while with her I can eat the chocolate orange,well three quarters of it ! It's Xmas nearly after all....
Daughters just phoned me at work to tell me she's never speaking to me again and I'm a c@nt ! It was hers 🤣

Fairplay to your daughter but you should have explained that it was a health thing. A Terry's chocolate orange is one of your 5 a Day, you know. Same as a Bacardi Breezers.

It’s usually the night of 20th-21st.
This must be quite a rare occurrence?

If you're in the UK (and probably all of Europe), the solstice sunrise was about 90mins ago. TODAY is the shortest day.

But if your family member ALSO believes it was on the 21st (as is more common), I think you're good :P

She does a spell before the sun goes down on the 21st and tonight more than likely.
Before the last light of the solstice Yuletide blessings to you all..😁

Usually once every four years. Next year is a leap year so back to the 21st.
