Such a weird dream. Claire Balding gave me not quite defrosted frozen mash potatoes and sweet white wine because I couldn't stop crying on TV.

Can we all just collectively agree to assume that every 8 second video of animals doing unexpected things isn't real?

Just in case you think that accommodations for exams don't make a difference let me tell you a story.
The Boy has jumped from an E to a B in English.
Why?
He's allowed to type his exams now. There's no grammar or spell check. It's literally because handwriting is painful for him.

Guy in B&Q: Are you buying a Christmas tree? In *this* weather?!
Me: yeees, I'm aware of the weather.
Guy in B&Q: that's a really big Christmas tree.
Me: yeeees, it's a big space.
I got the feeling he either really did not want to deal with a customer or that he thought I'm an idiot.

I want to make a stand and expressly point out that my business is trans inclusive.
I also want to not have to do it because it's a fundamental part of human existence.
It feels like having to post about people with ginger hair being welcome.

Last night I was wondering if I was in fact ill and trying to figure out why I never trust my own instincts about my own body.
This morning The Boy has a headache and dodgy tummy. I'm busy quizzing him to see if he's actually ill or just doesn't want to go to school.
Good old generational trauma.

Every time I read anything about Quakers I do wish I believed in God because their view of Christianity values is 100% what I'd sign up to.
I've just read something about them refusing to ban trans women from female toilets.

I love 99.9% of my job. 0.1% of my job is handling fabric that's been washed in waaaay too much washing powder and getting an almighty migraine from it.

😡 Do not buy from eBay as sellers seem to have no choice but to send by Evri.
😡 Never, ever use Ballyhackamore Post Office. I have never experienced quite so much incompetence and quite so few fucks given about losing a parcel.

The Boy has expressed an interest in learning about the Roman Empire. I mistakenly mentioned this to The Grandmother.
Help! Anyone got recommendations for non-fiction Roman books and/or building sets for a 13 year old?

The onslaught of big business capitalism is getting me down, so thought I'd do a very short thread of things I recommend that are on sale today.

I have so much to do today. The house is a state, I have a reality busy week to prep for, a promised trip to W5 to squeeze in.
And what am I doing? Scrolling Bluesky.
Could someone kick me up the arse?

Just had a horrible run in with a horrendously aggressive man. It triggered a panic attack and an hour later I still feel shaken.
But I don't want to think about him any more than I need to. I'm focusing on the really lovely people I've met since then.
