Gap time

Uncategorized

Hi, The washer is spinning merrily away to itself, so there will be my family’s clothes to hang out in a bit. I guess one good thing about the summer – other than not having to worry about a coat – is things dry quickly on the line. I guess that saves money on the tumbling, but you lose a little on the time. Still, a bit of mindfulness to enjoy the cooling feel and fresh scent of newly laundered items. Maybe, there’s a dash of satisfaction in having not just faffed about, but completed a few things of the To Do list. It’s gap week before Chams and thankfully, I am not on the receiving end of any dysphoric […]

That’s no moon

Posiblogging, Uncategorized

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 […]

Good luck getting a pace on

Hi, How are you, dear reader? Hopefully okay. I was going to comment about the the most foul stench that blew in to the country this week, but I dare say, you’re probably as tired of the weather reports as I am. Shall we just move on to nice news? 🙂 Jobs, yo Still working on the job applications at the mo, although Wee Man – the cheeky wee chap – has started to hassle me. This is because he’s landed himself a job, and now feels he can hassle his old man about it! 😁 Well, you’ve got to take the opportunity when you can eh? This is his first gig, and I’m really proud of him for stepping […]

Do. Not. Look. Other.

Out

Hi, Okay, I am not going to leave today’s post until my brain fails, and I’m left thinking…. well, not actually thinking. Just ‘muh’, which is a close cousin of ‘meh’, but is decidely more switched off. The lights are on, etc. ‘Ucknull This week the BBC released the dramatisation of Paris Lees’ book, What It Feels Like For A Girl. It’s available on iPlayer and yes, I’ve just finished watching it. It is… quite the ride and certainly one not for certain auidences – perhaps despite the lead character, Bryon’s, young years of fifteen when we first meet him. The cast, writing, and production are amazing, and – if I may – this shines through even in the harrowing […]

Double trouble

Out, Uncategorized

Hi, I think this might be the most unusual place I’ve started a post: sat in the car wash. Luckily, I’m inside the car, as I don’t need a jet wash or hot wax. 🙂 Besides, my waxing appointment was earlier in the week. I feel I’ve shaken off some of the winter funk, and that brings a welcome sense of being brighter in myself. Does that make sense? What a joy to have that! Ah, the luxury to having your body closer to how you’d like it. Even if the body is wider and more rundown than it was a few decades ago. As long as the old gal keeps ticking, eh? 🤭 Perhaps another title for this week’s […]

Hi, Ah, the pleasure of a short working week and the post morning run around of chores done. Just…. don’t look at the dishwasher collection, that’s next on the list after I’ve had a wee break. Of course, once I settle in to prattling on, that might become a longer break. Oops. Nails I don’t know if it’s my age and/or the change in diet, but my nails are rather weak at the mo. Specifically, my index and middle fingers – and no, it’s not from overuse of giving anyone the V… not that there’s a shortage of Bigot of the Week who could do with a collective ‘jog on’ 😏 from the woke mind virus – AKA normal kind […]
