I've blogged - AarDHD - Flow State: Now Available

It goes into more detail about the why and the how too.

The whole internet hates Billionaire Industrialist, an awful man who lives in a tax haven and has no idea how to run the Prestigious Football Team he part-owns!

FFS. Other people are so fucking capricious. Life would be so much easier if they'd just be more reliably either fucking nice or awful.
I can't cope with people I like and respect suddenly acting like total twats.
I, obviously, am entirely and reliably consistent and act with absolute decorum […]

Sheesh. How bad do you have to be doing in your reflective sport for the commentator to say, as you finish your turn, "well, l that will be good Olympic experience for her/him/them?"

It's an odd place we're in at the moment. The juxtaposition of these two articles I saw, one after the other, is extreme:

Emergency trip to the vet with an unhappy looking cat. I mean, not just cos he looks unhappy. That'd be a bit of an over reaction.
Good job there's a little bit of credit left on the credit card this month.

COUNCILLORS have welcomed a new scheme designed to help people out of fuel poverty. Never miss a thing - get our FREE newsletters now. Sunday Editorial Top Stories What's On Sports Leave this field empty if you're human: The Government’s Warm Homes Plan will look to help residents keep their properties warm at a reasonable cost. It comes after figures revealed that rising energy prices had left almost one in five households in fuel poverty. Cllr Paul Taylor, Labour representative for Boney Hay and Central at Lichfield District Council, said the Government’s new proposals to help address the issue would be “smarter, greener and more targeted” than previous attempts. He said: > “After paying housing costs, energy is usually the biggest outgoing a household has. Since the Ukraine invasion and some frankly mad decisions by the last Government, it’s a real worry for many homes in Lichfield and Burntwood. > > “Many properties here are older, with less modern heating and insulation. The Government can either throw taxpayers’ money at the problem like Liz Truss did or go for a set of smart investments in home heating. > > “The Warm Homes Plan will set up help to install heat pumps, solar panels and batteries in eligible homes. If you take an average three-bedroomed semi-detached home in Chasetown or Curborough with a cavity wall, they could save up to £500 a year on the annual energy bill.” Cllr Sharon Banevicius, who represents the Summerfield and All Saints ward, said that the proposals would also help those living in more rural areas. She explained: > “Many homes in the villages outside Lichfield don’t have mains gas – so they have to depend on expensive oil or bottled gas for heating. > > “The new Government BUS grant provides help for lower income families in poorly insulated homes towards installing an energy-efficient heat pump, taking latent heat from the air or soil even on cold days. > > “I think the Government’s proudest achievement so far is to lift half a million children out of poverty with the ending of the cruel two-child benefit cap – and I think its next great achievement will be to lift a million families out of fuel poverty by the end of the decade.” ### _Related articles_

This afternoon I've been helping MrsVark create a couple of video shorts for YouTube and the Burntwood Spoonies group she has set up on Facebook.

She has a fabulous new wig on in this one.

Children's "author" Julia Donaldson has the easiest job in the world.
How many lines of text are there in her books? Like, 15 to 20 max?
Someone else does the pictures and stuff.
How do I get myself a slice of that kind of pie?
