Just seen a rather odious comment on a Guardian article about the Green's from someone who says they will never vote for them as they will destroy women's rights. Hateful and cowardly, bigotry dressed up a compassion.

Blunder, or whistle blower?

This is a good poke in the eye for all those who complain about the UK attempting to cut CO2 emissions while attempting to claim other countries aren't doing their part.

Some really good extra features in the Blakes 7 Season 2 The Collection box set. It's really pleasing that it's getting the same love and attention as shown with the Doctor Who collection releases.

Share someone who looks stylish wearing a turtleneck.

William Shatner narrated the US reboot of The Clangers?

Time to get back to my workouts after a week of slacking off, and then doubling down with a LOT of fine food. Back on the elliptical trainer while watching a documentary about the magnificent Jacqueline Pearce 😍

I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked 🙄

Positive thoughts, three very good things to look forward to today: Blakes 7 Season 2 The Collection arriving at lunchtime. A new series of ISIHAC, 30 minutes of guaranteed hilarity. An most importantly, chats with someone who ALWAYS manages to make me smile 🤗

Within certain boundaries, The Joker, I certainly understand his thinking to a degree. Being on the spectrum I need order and logic in my world, but there are times when the world lacks any semblance of those, and the concept of embracing complete chaos becomes very seductive.

This is exactly the sort of thing that helps lift my spirits. 🤗 I've heard it said that foxes are dogs running on cat firmware, this one has clearly adopted the policy of "if it fits I sit". 😀

I've been quite sanguine about the job situation for the last few weeks, but the stark reality is really starting to hit me now. Need to make sure that I focus on all the really good things that have happened in my life recently, and they are myriad. I will get through this, I will survive.

FFS, seen a job on LinkedIn which could be a good match for me, click on the apply button and it takes me to the front page of a general recruitment site, not the specific job, and then I can't find the job on that recruitment site. 😠

Good morning 🌞 Start of my final week. It was so hard to drag myself out of bed this morning, part of me wants to stay there all day, but don't want to get fired in my final week and lose my payout 🤣 Hope everyone has a great week 🤞

🤗

Tomorrow marks the start of my last working week. I know I'll be able to stay afloat for a while, but now it's so close I'm starting to feel a little scared. Turning my life around isn't without some degree of expense, and I'm terrified of losing all the gains I've made this year.

Two weeks today without smoking anything 💪 There have been a few times when I've been tempted, thinking the odd crafty cigarette wouldn't hurt, but I've been able to resist. It's nice to have days like today when I've ironed seven shirts, and know they won't be stinking when I come to wear them.

Good morning all 🌞 Might be significantly quieter than normal today, but no-one need worry about me. There are sone wonderful things I'm desperate to tell everyone about but I'm not free to do so for the time being. The best way to avoid blurting them out is to keep my trap shut 😀

I passed a pub called The Halfway Inn today, but this place in Japan sounds a lot better 🤣

This is the site that's on the current beta cover for "Heliruna" btw.

JFC, some people really are complete and utter arseholes, hope this vile individual is stopped quickly.

I did say I'd say why I'm so happy, so here it is 😀 Over the last few months I've been chatting to the wonderful @mrstales.bsky.social, and over that time we've become very close friends, she's been so lovely and supportive, and has played a significant role in helping me turn my life around.

As well as being excellent company @ladyboater.bsky.social is also an extremely talented artist, and I took this opportunity to buy one of her plaques as an Xmas gift for my mother. If you're not familiar with Tina's work I recommend you check it out, her skills really are amazing.

Just got back from an absolutely lovely day out in Avebury with the delightful @ladyboater.bsky.social 🤗 Was really good to meet Tina IRL, she's really lovely. Had a nice stroll around the village and the stones, lunch at the village pub, and a really good natter. A most excellent day 😀

The only people who could think the BBC are biased towards the left are the far right.

Good morning all 🌞 The weekend has got off to a most excellent start, met the gorgeous @mrstales.bsky.social for dinner yesterday evening 😘, and today I'm off to explore Avebury with the lovely @ladyboater.bsky.social 🤗. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend 🤞

A shame Joe Dante isn't returning to direct the third installment, but I suspect Chris Columbus will be able to create a worthy addition to the series.

Trying to find a good image of a Tracator from Doctor Who on Google and it appears to think I'm a dodgy MP, it keeps insisting on trying to show me images of tractors. 🤣

Good morning all 🌞 Busy run of socialising after I finish work for the day. Out to dinner again this evening, and then off to Avebury tomorrow with @ladyboater.bsky.social . Hopefully strolling amongst the stones will offset some of tonight's extra calories. Hope you all have a great day 🤞

I'm about to say something that just a few months ago I didn't think I'd ever be saying, brace yourselves 😉 Life can be fucking amazing when you actually live it and embrace what you want 😀 It's been a bloody mad year for me, with some pain along the way, but my word, it's been totally worth it.

Tommy is going to have his space on the sofa whether my foot is there or not 🤣

I made a graphic that people might understand better.

Spot! Riker's trombone! STFU and take my money.

This is totally obscene and makes me absolutely furious. To end the lives of these magnificent creatures when they still have many years ahead of them is a crime against nature. 😭

Just caught Tommy after he had knocked down a large and almost full tub of Dreamies, the lid of which had come off in the fall. He was munching his way through the contents, and if I'd not caught him I suspect he could have quite happily eaten the whole tub, the greedy bastard. 🤣

Good morning all 🌞 Just before I woke up I had a dream where I had pissed off John Nathan Turner, and if when he scanned something with his mobile phone it returned an incorrect code he was going to literally kill me. I have no idea where the hell that came from 🤣 Hope everyone has a great day 🤞
