TDOV 2026

Out, Uncategorized

Hi, Ah, the occasional and somewhat rare midweek post 🙂 Every year on 31st March, we celebrate a Trans Day of Visibility across the world. I will not go into the nonsense and hate we’re currently experiencing as a community – frankly, there’s not the time, and secondly we see enough of the Useful Idiots being platformed on and by the media. Ragefarming, anyone? 🙄 For those of out & about today, congratulations and thank you. For those of you not up to much today, may I say that’s okay too? It’s not always easy to do so – home, family, health, and/or work commitments, etc. It may be that you, like me, don’t have the opportunity to do so. […]

Ignoring the stream of negativity

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

Hi, After last week’s micro-wobble, a visit to Chams to see friends and some time out of ‘bloke mode’ has done me a world of good. Funny that such a simple thing – well, I say simple! – helps me settle and become comfortable again. I suppose that “birds of a feather” phrase, in that it’s people who get it, and who understand. No need to keep the proverbial mask on, and conversations flows naturally, with no second guessing. Maybe a shorter phrase would be authenticity 🙂 But, this all this helps. Reasons indeed to be thankful. Self Care At the start of the week, I tried a bit of self-care to help push the cobwebs away, and let in […]

That’s no moon

Hi, I nearly started the introduction with “hello there”, which may ring a few bells if you’re a sci-fi nerd (like me) or have used the Internet any time in the last ten years 😉Still, we have our title, and possibly, a tie in with the graphic below. I feel that labels are shortcuts and as such, trim a long story to a short one – and in some cases, a single word. However, if the history of YATGB has taught me anything, it’s that I don’t do short explanations 🙃 Excuse me while I rev up the hyper-waffle-drive… 😉 Two scoops of ice-cream…. a dash of maple syrup…. and we’re off! [ Today I learned: To be genderfluid may […]

Hi, Ah, the pleasure of a shorter working week, and hearing the delicate song of birds in the hedges. Oh, and the recycling lorry revving up to take our cardboard mountain away 😁Well, much better than landfill, IMO. In a few weeks, the system will improve to take Tetra Pak cartons. Although in true muddleheadness, the convenient recycling points for those have gone…. and the new system isn’t in place. Deform clowns🙃 I suppose the old recycling units might be stuck on the roads somewhere. I mean, it’s quite possible the replacement, replacement transport has got a flat tire. If only there was some way to repair the holes in the roads! 😏 It’s all the rain, it’s the big […]

A helping hand

Uncategorized

Hi folks, It’s been a busy day today, with meetings and appointments here & there. Still, that are all of the type where you’re helping out being helped, so it’s all good news. Oh, how I am enjoying the part time hours! It’s certainly helping keep on top of things, and it’s a great feeling not to just collapse in a tired mess at 5pm on a Friday. Polish the halo Earlier in the day, I spent some time with an former colleague – well, virtually speaking – as they wanted some help, around getting on top of the hot digital mess, that modern office life seems to create. We had a good chat about various things and we managed […]
