Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

So, today
So then – did we leap into action today – given the rain outside and the related inability to service the bike or work on the daf – did we instead leap into action and finish the bathroom? Did we paint the wall in the study? No, we did not. I had a headache this…

Dyke Cred Rating = +50
So, Brick’s winged his way to a new owner; apparently en-route he shed some bits of distributor, but handily the spare one we’d thrown in the boot (along with all the other spares) turned out to have the relevant bits. The new owner didn’t seem that mifffed… it seems about par-for-Brick’s behaviour. I hope that…

Social Life Compression
So, our social life here in lovely Slough is somewhat, well, limited. We don’t know anyone – that’s the easiest way to put it. So our social life tends to consist of going somewhere else. Unfortunately – at the moment we are without a road legal car, and have only one set of bike gear…

Consumer
Before I start, it’s the 23rd of May; get recording, peoples… So, this is kind of a whine brought about by reading off the map (which I’m still reading) – and thinking about my life, and the fact that despite plans to the contrary I start most days by spending an hour or two reading journals…

lucky, lucky, lucky.
So, whilst I may not feel lucky, I was, in fact, incredibly lucky yesterday. I had what I can only describe as a nice day at work and headed home. Part way home the Viva overheated and I pulled over. Cutting a long (and dumb) story short I ended up with a hand and face full of…

Posting for the sake of it
Really, I’ve nothing interesting to say. At least I don’t think I have. I could go on at length about feeling undervalued and mightily underpaid because my shift roster includes a 9 day stretch that goes ELELELLEL; and which, well, when I struggle to pay bills and we can’t actually afford to see friends or…

ah, summer.
So, with the arrival of summer-like-weather (yes, I know it’s spring, but it’s also bloody hot), comes the tradition of whining about hayfever. I’ve not got *that* much to whine about (yet); apart from the frequently runny nose and sniffling, oh and the sneezing. And the eyes that while not desparately itchy are, well, itchy.…

DSM-V objectionality
So, Kathryn spotted a link to this petition which is objecting to the DSM-V comittee’s members consisting of a individuals who pathologise gender identity disorder. I know quite a few TS people and while I’ve met some thorough nutcases, I also know some truly wonderful people who happen to also be TS. GID is something that the individuals appointed to the committee believe can…

Have you ever seen the film Brazil…
Only. Our COA was sent back as ‘your payment details were wrong / card declined / some other card related payment problem’ . The problem is they don’t send back the payment page. My credit card has a whacking great limit on it (not for the sake of pride I say this, but because banks are foolish…

Gardens, headaches and things of significance.
So, my head hurts. I’ve no idea why, although possibly the 30 odd hours with an hour or so of sleep in the middle during which we gardened, shopped, I did a complete night shift at work, and so on, that might explain why every time I move my head it feels like I throw a large…
