Humdinger of a neighborhood argument going on down the back lane behind my house. You're going to bet I went outside to do some weeding so I could hear better. 🤣

New entry in my list of perimenopause symptoms I can't recommend - passing out in the bathroom at 3am due (presumably) to heavy periods and having given blood last week. Spent most of the day dozing in the sofa. Urgh.

It's orange club biscuit time again! www.blood.co.uk for us in the UK. Please sugn up if you are able to. Trust me if this big wimp can do it, anyone can!
A picture of the display sign at the blood donation centre.  There is a list of stock levels for different blood types - they like to keep 2 weeks blood in stock, but Hampshire are running low on O negative, b negative and ab negative blood.  There are details of how many organs were donated in the last 7 days too - but thats not what i am here for today!

I'm led to believe this is rather good. I heard rumours of bath water going cold without the reader noticing... But that could all be speculation. Who can tell.

I know I am slow on the uptake here but I am going to have to buy some actual summer clothes aren't I. Earlier this year I had a surprise trip to Costa Rica so since it got hot I have been alternating between the same 3 tops I bought for that trip... But this is getting silly.

I never liked the Great Man theory of history, because building things takes a community. In stark contrast, I find the Tremendous Asshole corollary to be very persuasive. Breaking things is so much easier than building. One tremendous asshole in the wrong place really can shape history.

Stupid blood wasn't irony enough for the vampires. Need to suck on some rusty nails or something before next time. But as I can't share a picture of a club biscuit with the link to book a blood donation appointment, you can have some nice seagulls instead. blood.co.uk
Some seagulls stand on the beach.  Behind them the waves break gently on the beach.  They are standing on a rocky patch but there is sand at the front of the picture.

Applied my first HRT patch today. This feels like the kind of milestone which should be celebrated by some kind of cake. What do we think #perimenopausal friends?

The eldest of the young people has us watching YouTube on the big tv. (Aka the only TV we own... It's not especially big.). We just watched some grown men play Simon Says. Strangely compelling. But I am totally commandeering the remote and watching drag race when this video finishes.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
It found there was not enough good quality evidence to conclude overall whether the drugs benefited young people or harmed them, so NHS England will not issue new prescriptions while it continues to consider responses from advocacy groups and healthcare professionals.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo
It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
