It’s clock change time in the UK and that means two things. An hour less sleep An hour less rain

I’ve had my consultant appointment & the news isn’t great. It’s spread to the liver. Surgery right now is not optional. They’re going to give me chemo & radium & see how I respond. All going well, surgery down the line will be an option. 1/

Don’t take your health for granted folks. I’m the least likely cancer patient imaginable- yet here I am. Never smoked or done drugs, don’t eat junk food, don’t carry any extra weight, I exercise & you could count the number of alcoholic drinks I had in a year on 1 hand.

One truly annoying thing about having a nephrostomy isn’t having to empty it every 3-4 hours or the fact it’s strapped to your leg 24/7. It’s the fact you can’t sleep on the side it’s on and because I’ve lost weight that means pressure injuries on the one side and, frankly, not great sleep.

They have no cinnamon buns!!!😭

Dear #WoTSkies, In this Age, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, we will #SaveWoT and #TheWheelOfTime will come back to screens. Happy Almost-Fri-YAY mornaftevenight! ❤️ #ThankYouRafe

For the first time since my surgery I’m in people clothes- albeit extremely casual-not pyjamas! A step back toward some form of normality. Or what passes for it when you have a stoma & a catheter strapped to you. Tomorrow I’m aiming to go into town & have a coffee!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit! To all my Irish friends! 💚🍀

There is no substitute for sleeping in your own bed. After 6 nights on a hospital ward- with the awful beds & all the noise that’s part & parcel of being on a ward- last night, in my own bed, with my own covers felt like heaven.

I am back home! Sitting in my kitchen with mum & a bowl of soup. The news is, sadly, not good. I have stage 4 colorectal cancer. They have told me that there’s no way to get rid of everything. So…my odds of getting to see HotD completed just dropped substantially. But you never know. I fight.

I may get home today at some point! It all hinges on whether I can get this chest CT scan my consultant wants me to have done. Once I get that, I can leave. I have other scans to be done while we wait for the biopsy results (1-2wks) but they can be done as an outpatient.

I’m still here!!!

The news is not good. I have cancer.

Legend Of Vox Machina is back for season 4 on June 3rd! Let the season of heartbreak commence! (Iykyk)

A positive wish for everyone

The joiner has been to see the kitchen and the damage is worse than we thought. It’s looking like we need two new lower cupboards and possibly some replacement flooring. Absolute last thing we needed atm

Is Bluesky misbehaving for anyone else? I’m posting but it’s either not posting it or posting doubles and when I delete the second post it’s deleting both of them. Grrr

TVL clip!! June is going to be a fucking fantastic month- between HoTD and TVL it’s a lot to look forward to! I have got a lot of shit going on and a lot of questions over my health, but this gives me something to aim for!

I hate that bloody bird!

Definitely didn’t! 😂

My little Whovian geeky heart is dancing! The 30th anniversary of the TV movie is getting noted in style!

So…full disclosure folks. In addition to losing my beloved cat, Cassie, I’ve been pretty ill. It’s been going on for 3 months now. Long story short, they’re testing me for cancer. Depending how the next week goes, I may not be online as much going forwards. It’s been a rough year so far.

You’ve got to feel a bit sorry for the fair maid of Ashford. Her birthday will forever be remembered- and for all the wrong reasons.

Damn you, Ira Parker! 😭

Are we all ready to be traumatised to within an inch of our lives by the next episode of AKOTSK?

New TVL teaser!!

So…WoT will be leaving Prime video in the next 30 days.

Few things in life are more irritating than putting on the TV in the morning and the first thing you see is Nigel Farage justifying a racist billionaire’s assertion that the UK is under threat from colonisation

Oh what fresh hell is this? iWOT are idiots

And I’ve been in floods of tears again. In the mail, I got a sympathy card from the vet team & it contained imprints of her nose/paws in a little envelope & a packet of forget-me-not seeds to plant. I’ve never had a vet that’s done this before 😭

13,568 days until official first contact with the Vulcans. #StarTrek 🖖

My aunt sent me this. Sharing it for anyone else who is, like me, grieving the loss of a beloved furry companion.

Why is it, even though it is pitch black outside, there is always that one singular bird that is determined that all should hear the song of its people? 5:45am that little shit started its warm up act and by 6:00am the performance was in full swing. I guess spring must eventually be on its way

Be better. Alt text is so little to ask for, takes so little time to actually add to a post and that so many refuse to do it is shameful.

You know what I can’t get used to? The quiet. Cassie was a cat that constantly had something to say about everything. And she loved being talked to. And now it’s just silence.

I can’t thank the vet team enough. We’d only been with them for a few years, after the practice we’d been with for 15 years had to close our local branch after Covid. They didn’t have a long bond with her. But last night, they were so kind at the end of Cassie’s life.

She’s gone

Cassie has let me know the time has come. At 5.15pm we will make our final journey together. My heart is breaking, but this is the right choice.

WoTskies! We have a new reader! You know what to do!

That’s Fallout over for another season! Can’t wait to see what season 3 will cook up!

Of all the things I thought I’d wake up to this morning, the main shopping centre in town going ablaze wasn’t one of them. There’s no access to the bottom half of the town - meaning anyone who needs to get the train to get to work is, to put it bluntly, buggered.

Well...a few niggles aside, I have to say that AKOTSK is hitting the right notes. I can't say I'm thrilled with how the female characters have been handled, but that's not the fault of the show - that's down to The Hedge Knight itself. Women just don't have a big role in this particular novella.

We have street lights! Sort of. We have them during the day, but they go off before 7pm and come back on at 5am. So it’s possibly more accurate to say we have street lights when we don’t actually need them. Which is as much use as a chocolate teapot. NAC suck.

I have discovered - ie stumbled into- The Wandering Inn series. I have the feeling I’ve just tumbled into a rabbit hole with this one! 😂

My favourite post apocalyptic trio. Roll on the season 2 finale!

Was so looking forward to seeing this 😑

My garden fence- which survived the strongest winds in a century & the half dozen storms we’ve had in the year since apparently couldn’t survive the tail edge of Storm Chandra. At least it’s not the WHOLE fence, but it’s an outlay we didn’t need right now.

Also, Maekar not recognising Manfred Dondarrion, when his own SiL is a Dondarrion was hilarious 😂

Baelor. Was. Perfect.
