I am the bounty, not the bloom. I am measuring my summer by the autumn fruit. It is delicious.

I’ve just accidentally invented a word that I’m going to use a lot. “Fafter” it’s when you faff around enough and say you will “just do it after you _____”. It’s easier to say than “procrastination”.

Bye bye X. It was good. Until it wasn’t.

We were aching with disappointment last year. After another failure, our dream house came back to us. Hopefully moving soon. Life is funny that way.
Please little blue birdies on here… send me some positive vibes that the offer on our dream home is accepted. I have only ever asked the universe this hard for one thing… and I didn’t get that. So let me get this. Please.

Watching Nadine Dorries shitting into her hands and clapping for attention on the C4 News election show is compulsory viewing. She’s so out of her depth, like watching a gerbil pilot the International Space Station.

If you haven’t heard the new Beatles song, it’s a stunner. I’m not crying. You’re 😢

I’ve decided I’m going to start treating everyone as if they are the person who will have to write my eulogy. Except people who don’t indicate at roundabouts. I’ll still call them bad names.

Investing in our water infrastructure is good but shouldn’t it come from the shareholders who have been ripping us off? Not upping consumer rates😡

In 2015/16 I was quite ill. I had a blood clot in my subclavian vein and had multiple complications after surgery. It was pretty traumatic at that time and I had complex PTSD after. But I had a great way of coping during my hospitalisation. Haiku. So in no particular order:

Time here Is measured In blood tests And pain medication. I play the "How many squares" game For the (hundred) thousandth time. The night is not silent But filled with hushed words And sorrow And suffering. I wait. For the elusive number That means Freedom.

The BBC documentary about the death of a young woman after being raped and dismissed by police is harrowing. She developed a mental disorder because she was raped. She was not a mentally ill person. When will we stop persecuting victims? #justiceforgaia

There is something wonderful about feeling safe. It’s better than happy any day.

To say I’m pleased to be at Hidden Earth would be a massive understatement

Today I went to see some geo-porn. Cheered me right up. The causeway, Carrick-A-Rede and Portstewart strand. I’ve walked 12km and enjoyed every moment in the 26 degree heat.
