Joy. There’s always the possibiltiy of joy alongside those less desirable potentials.

Sorry to read of all that. Sending empathy. Was out of UK last year for work when email came through about first diag appointment after 2yrs waiting, couldn’t respond. Came home, opportunity had passed by. No chance to reuse referral as expired, referrals now not possible. ADHD taxes everything.

The unending joys of neurodiversity. At least these days I understand why trying to deal with the traumatic torment that is #Sky’s truly evil customer disservice anti-engagement channels should tip me over the edge into abject mental frustration.

I’d call them ‘fuckers’, but that would be too kind.

Been off the ale for a while. Not missing it. Then a few days come along that need some erm… encouragement to traverse. Whisky emerges as coping strategy of choice; weird thing is I’m not a big fan of the stuff usually.

What’s that beer all about? Only know of the fantastic double and trippel ones, etc.

Ah, the curse of the neurofabulous. I’ve missed flights due to adding them in the wrong sodding timezone. My neurowonderful sons missed their flights to some faraway Middle Eastern place one day because they were in-depth focusing on their bloody phones.

Sorry you missed it anyway.

Something something something too early something something.

Been a mixed-up few days. Week ago I was at The Martin House in Buffalo, then few days later I was food shopping with Daughter-The-Younger in Aldi in Brighton (returning to university) pondering any possible merits of double cheeseburger pies.

Shinjuku Central Park?

Moving countries every so often is a pricey business. Shall we term it a neurofabulous tax?

A #KentuckKnob knob…

A faded red valve knob to adjust flow on a water pipe at the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Kentuck Knob house in Pennsylvania

…and then this morning I got to see The Martin House in Buffalo - either ends of FLW’s career in 2 days.

Last year on a whim as part of a trip to the US I ended up at Frank Lloyd Wright’s amazing design at Fallingwater, also saw the houses at Polymath Park at same time. The one missing was Kentuck Knob (the Hagen House) which I managed to get to see this morning, amazing place…

Thanks - missed him last time when at the library, just returned from Tokyo few hours earlier and fell asleep 🙄🤣

Beautiful place. An ex-partner studied at the Conservatoire on the sqaure, magical location to while away a few hours either inside or outside on the square; think there was/is a hall around the corner on the main road too, lovely area.

P.s. Jerry Barnes is a chucking hero of mine too…

When I moved to #Hitchin ten years ago, little did I expect how much amazing live music would be available here. From the amazing Club85 to the many smaller venues, with something on almost every night. Highlight of all that for me tonight with @nilerodgers.bsky.social playing Hitchin Priory.

Phew. Thanks. Was worried for 6 seconds there.

BroomOfTrigger @broomoftrigger.bsky.social · Aug 22

Appreciate your honesty. Was wondering which of the two evils would be worse tonight.

Missed #totp as driving** back from Heathrow. Did I miss anything?

**lurching varyingly between 1-5mph
