Going to bed early tonight, not because I'm back at work tomorrow (although I am), but because I have a blood test appointment that's somehow at 7:07am. No, I don't know why it's 7:07am either.

Had to decline a social engagement this evening as I'm still ill and didn't want to pass it on. I got 'poor baby' as a response. I have never been 'poor baby''d before and I will have to admit to liking that more than expected.

Jury service is over. On the bus home, now working out whether I can get away with sleeping all weekend.

Please be the last day of jury service Please be the last day of jury service Please be the last day of jury service

The absolute worst thing about jury service, over and above the immense boredom, endless delays, and never-ending arguments in deliberation, is the fact that I've managed to pick up a nasty cold in the meantime and everything is more awful now.

HRT side effect: it looks like my new skin gets battered easily. Spent the morning tearing apart a dead Z4 and my hands look battered. This never used to be the case.

Don’t try to get the goth girl you would have lusted over in the 2000s; become the goth girl you would have lusted over in the 2000s.

Solid 4/5 here. Will let everyone wonder which one I'm missing.

Since I’ve ended up with plenty of time today, I did the thing.

Jurying lasted ten minutes today, jury discharged from that particular trial. Might be back next week, don’t know yet.

🎶 Everybody’s talking ‘bout my tight pants I got my tight pants I got my tight pants on 🎶

I'm not sure whether I'm being a huge stereotype or not, but I'm debating a septum piercing.

Not sure how, but Facebook has decided to show me the profile of someone I really really like first in my 'you may know' list. This is clearly the universe telling me that I need to go and look at their photos and dream about a life that I can't have.

Yes I went mad on the Hell Bunny website again. This is definitely a winner.

Jurying didn't happen. Got there for 3pm as instructed. Sat around for just over an hour. Got sent home again. Back in at 11 tomorrow. The wheels of justice apparently move so slowly that it's almost undetectable with the naked eye.

Free morning, so been out and done voting. This afternoon I need to get back into the city for more jurying.

Saw this, immediately thought of @halkyardo.bsky.social jimll.co.uk/products/thr...

Out in the back garden helping the neighbour fix the fence that's somewhat failed. We're being supervised.

Once again, it's not 'Star Wars Day' or whatever, it's RIP MCA Day.

Bank holiday tomorrow. Not working. My only plans at this point is 'go food shopping'. I lead such an exciting life.

Just because I have to work this weekend, doesn’t mean I can’t also sit on the sofa and spin records at the same time.

Another day, more sore boobs. If I was even slightly smooth and/or hot, I'd be all 'someone needs to come kiss them better for me'. But alas.

New shoes day for Vicky (yes, I named my car). The 'style 107' wheels turns an E85 Z4 from a good looking car into a great one.

New/old wheels on the car. Gone from 17" to 18". New tyres going on tomorrow, irritatingly these ones have loads of tread but are pretty cracked/dry-rotted.

I keep falling into the trap of comparing myself. The internet keeps showing me photos of young and pretty trans girls, and I'll never be that because of age and starting late, and I haven't figured out how to reconcile this in my head yet.

Film you’ve watched more than six times with an gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

it looks great on her!!!

Hate doing 'woe is me' posts, but have been feeling particularly lonely and a little dysphoric recently. Things are still fine and I'm perfectly safe, but might need to step away from The Socials for a bit until I figure out how to fix this.

Need to head out (therapy appointment), trying a summer-ish look, AKA not wearing all black for a change.

I have trans nails, your argument is invalid.

Test-fitted some different wheels on the car today, to see how they fit and whether I like them as they'll need new tyres if they go on permanently.

Turn out the lights Close your eyes Turn up the silence The heartache of your life Dance forever Under the lights This brutal love www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdDf...

Swap the 'his' with 'her' and this is how I'm now friends with @patient-zero.bsky.social, through the power of bravery.

A very sunny 17 degrees here in west Norwich today. It's getting dangerously close to shorts weather, which means I might finally have to shave my legs properly for the first time this year.

My latest commission, because transfemmes with larger than normal necks need dangerous jewellery too.

Allotment day and I can actually attend this time. So far I have buried a bathtub (pond) and cleared out a collapsed shed.

Took this photo to reply to someone, but I think it deserves it's own post.

There's a member of the first line team at work who's so egg that it can be seen from space. However, the Egg Prime Directive forbids me from intervening.

Some sort of network outage at work. Only one thing for me to do: trim and repaint my nails.

Happy Rex Manning Day to all who celebrate.

Day off. Been to get more girl drugs from Boots and cleaned the car. That might be the limit of my enthusiasm for the day.

Annoyed at finding a dress that is 100% me and I love, but would be too short due to my height. I am almost inconsolable.

Another update on the low standards of chasers, especially if they're coming after me of all people.

Some photos from my recent Lake District trip.

btw if you want to help out a broke trans artist and her 4 cats today, just streaming (and maybe sharing) my music helps me a bunch; open.spotify.com/artist/5jeNu...

As it's TDOV and people are doing timelines, here's my 2020-2026. Admittedly I didn't change much until 2024, but I need to stick with the rules.

Happy TDOV from myself and my hastily hung window decoration.

Sometimes, I get negative comments on my Flag Improver 3D print. www.thingiverse.com/thing:714699... Not to toot my own horn, but I reckon I've found the perfect way to deal with them.

Place your bets now. Although tbh I'm not sure I can be bothered. Try harder potential chaser, "hi" is just lazy.
