On the downside we lost the pub quiz (three members down and I am not mentally on form right now)

On the plus side we chose 'His Dark Materials' to be the wooden spoon round next week so even though I'm away due to birthday shenanigans I think we've got a solid 5 points squared away

Enjoying the House of Games question about pipes in an organ, knowing that we have over 5000 and we aren't anywhere near the largest 😅

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

Which is true for trans kids too.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

Now living in North Yorkshire every time someone says Richmond I have to remember they mean *this* Richmond and not the one in Zone 4...

When I got paid I bought myself a beanbag chair and created a little reading space because I have been awful at doing any reading recently.

Tonight I'm trying it out and I may never move again (except to make more cups of tea)

Next thing is to get a lamp so I can have it a little darker 🥰

An oddly shaped corner of my flat next to the balcony window, with a blue beanbag chair and a fleecy throw. Next to it is a small table with a candle, a pack of TimTams (elite) a copy of The Rose Fields, and a cup of tea

The view from the beanbag chair, with about half of The Rose Fields complete, and less than half of the pack of TimTams left. Not pictured is the fact I'm listening to Choral Evensong because of course I am (Lancing College have been excellent)

I'm 31 in just over a week and I know this not only factually but also because I just saw an advert for a sock Advent calendar and genuinely considered it...

Two altar frontal changes, two carpets rolled up and carried the length of the building, 75 chairs moved, a wedding and an Installation of Canons when one has had 3.5 hours sleep has made for a wonderful but somewhat exhausting day.

But I love the variety of it, and the joy of us making it happen

The most excellent birthday party of a friend who decided to go with a soviet union theme because they are ridiculous, then painted and hid submarines around their flat for us to find. I'm just walking home now after being up since 6am but it was so so worth it
