Me and Jenny had a very lovely couple of weeks in Madrid celebrating our 10 year anniversary. We stayed in the city's gay district, Chueca, and had a wonderful time walking around, seeing the sights and enjoying the amazing food, drink and atmosphere of the city. Assorted pics to follow!

Payday (well for most people 😭) so I'm sharing the GFM again!

Made a significant dent in the credit debt as well as some used for an electrolysis consultation and first appointment!

A long way to go before I'm clear enough that it won't go right back in February

Please help if you can 💕

felt like a toddler with an ipad at the katy perry concert last night—my review of this entirely overwhelming show for the guardian: www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Katy Perry review – like being high on Haribo while trapped in a theme park

In a fun but frenetic show, the star hangs off props, wears a glove that shoots pyrotechnics and generally distracts from her own energy and charisma

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
