Pet owner, wife, crafter, queer, ND. Southerner based in Yorkshire longing to head north.
The WhatsApp group for the people we did our initial adoption training with has suggested a Welly walk next month, a "chance to bring the littles" and catch up.

Some of them have got an adoption order already. Others have been placed.

Just typed out a whole-ass frustrated post and it was 50 characters too long.

Bluesky just saved you all from a self-indulgent rant that no one needed.

Probably not even myself to be honest.

Anyway. Here's Manuel using my foot as a pillow.

Trying to walk a mile a day at the moment to a) get me back to work and b) stop me going stir crazy. Today's walk at Ogden Reservoir.

A lot of the time, being an adult is shit. Othertimes it's waking up at 4am on a workday which is less than ideal, and realising I can make myself a cheesy egg sandwich for breakfast.

A little treat to start my day.

Afternoon bluesky. We have put our kitchen table back together today, and now I have an inexplicable urge to make apple scones.

The kitchen is so close to being done, I can't wait.

I think the recent rubbishness I've been feeling may have been covid. Much fatigue, and now a finger of fudge tastes disgusting. (Oioi)

It's like adding insult to injury.

Oh to have the concerns of a cat.

Sent a very strongly worded (for me) email to the adoption agency regarding their lack of communication and movement.

Now sitting on bees until they respond, and really hoping that I haven't messed things up for us.

One of my pet peeves with taking medication is that they do not all line up. Some are 28 days supply, some are 30, some are 3 (ish) months.

Every once in a while they all align and then the pharm tech hands a literal sack.

Every damn time I end up on steroids I forget that they give me insomnia and take them in the evening with the rest of my meds.

And that's how I'm playing. Coral island at 4am

Had to hire a car for a few days until mine is sorted. They didn't have the one I ordered so I got a "free" upgrade to a 7 seater. The length is flummoxing me a little, I'll be honest

In brighter news, look at this church spire I climbed in Copenhagen last week. 400 steps and the last is on the outside. The Church of our saviour.

It's a weighted blanket kinda evening.

Car broken, family member has a fractured back, I've had to admit I can't keep up at work. Shitty news about the adoption and now I've realised that the unit designed to go over the meter box in the kitchen does not fit AND the roof has blown off the shed.

Bought some bras from ASDA. 3 for £16.

As soon as I got into the car I was berating myself for wasting money on bras that definitely won't fit.

They fit. For the first time in my adult life I have been able to buy some bras off the shelf from a supermarket and they fit.

I cried.

Home. Taskmaster on the telly. Tea in hand, takeaway ordered.

Just finished a free walking tour of Copenhagen. It was a great way to spend a morning.

The main take away is the number of fires that shaped the city.

Our hotel is a former public bathhouse, complete with naked plaster frescoes on the ceiling.

Day 2 in Denmark.

Started the day with a danish and coffee. I could very much get used to this.

#SundayPixRailway we are off on our jollies today, and A has tolerated my desire to jaunt across London to see the #RedRoses by the eye. As a result, we have ended up at Blackfriars, the station is a bridge over the Thames.

Morning. Half an hour into my work day and the VPN won't let me connect. I will be very sad if I have to go into work.

So I always thought that a Shepard's pie had mashed potato lid and a cottage pie had a sliced potato lid. I have been ridiculed for this for years.

Just found out it's my dad's fault.

ALL THESE YEARS

Been up around Stanage Edge today. Had a lovely tromp through the ferns.

Should be home in time for the rugby too.

Which idiot booked a drs appt for 8AM on my day off?

Honestly, it always seems like a good idea at the time - I can get on with the rest of my day.

No. Don't do it.
September 12, 2025 at 6:57 AM
That was a day full of rugby. I am so tired now
