Don’t over do it

Hi, Gah, I’ve got brainfizz and, if you’ll forgive me, I’m just going to have to type stuff into the whitespace until I break the deadlock and actually write something. I think in truth – and other than my current inability to focus – is that I feel I don’t have a lot of stuff to report. I won’t be opening the folder marked Thought exercise: does any of this matter? because that way madness lies…. and not the skanktastic musical act either 😉 Wakey wakey, Lynn It was Chams last night and a visit with friends always lifts my spirits. I was late setting off because I’d been overdoing it in the week. Sometimes, I think I need to […]

Brrrrilliant

Hi, Can we start with “brr, it’s a bit nippy?” 🙂 Or as we’d say in Nottingham “it’s a bit code“. That’s not a typo, BTW. For some quirk of accent, we like to say it – code not ‘kold‘ – like that round here. See also “it’s a bit wharm”. I don’t think it’s to confuse folk new to the area. Although as old friend at Chams once asked if her work colleagues, “It’s code for what?” 🙂 Very reasonable question, IMO. I mean someone had to explain the local word ‘fuddle’ to me years back. Dressing for it Being a right mesh* bogger, the snow and frost mean I’ve been layering up. Perhaps one advantage of being genderfluid, […]

Connects and disconnects

Hi, How’s things? Hopefully going well and if not, fingers crossed they will be soon enough 🤞 Blah blah blah A few months back I cancelled my subscription to a well known newspaper. Not completely due to price rises but because of their blindspot around giving a platform to discrimate towards trans folk. /S But, y’know, let’s face it; if there’s one minority who need bring down a peg or two; it’s those pesky trans people. Walking around, just being themselves, trying to get on in life, and wanting the same rights as others – like, say; employment, medical rights, body autonomy, to not being murdered – it’s insane isn’t it? 🙄 With the return of the monkey king to […]

Little things

Hi, Thank goodness for the four day week. I think I’ve had enough rides on this particulra un-merry-go-round for a time! 🙂 Talking of shorter weeks, I noticed an article about more UK companies trialing this. Half a job As a part time part timer (five days then four days) I can say it’s made a big difference to our lives. The option to safe stuff up and have the weekend clear is a gift. Getting errands sorted, phone calls, bills paid, housework, and clearing up. Talking of which, I’ve braved the upstairs cupboard where some of my old Lynn things have been ignored. Clearly I do not need to buy any more tights for a time. However, some recycling […]

Belated blogiversary

Hi, How’s things? Here at Chez Jones, it’s been a quiet Halloween, as both Child 2.0 and the Every Lovely Mrs J have been away. In days of yore, I guess I would’ve booked time off, dressed suitably, and headed out into the world to stretch my legs. But, time was not my friend and if I’m honest, my energy levels were more suited to curling up on the sofa with a warm mug of tea and catching up on some streaming. That and updating my game’s mod list with new tweaks and features. Creature feature Given the comments in the press, politics, and rent-a-gob Bigot of the Week, I thought it best to lean into the trans stereotypes for […]
