Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Board gamers… Is there a universal fitting tray or roll out mat for tile games so that the pieces stay neat when you pick them out or put them down? Also is there such a thing as a sticky pen type thingy for picking up tiles so that you’re not knocking the ones next door out of place?

Productive evening of PhD work. Currently on thematic analysis. I’m finding this hard. This is heart work as well as head work. This is why it’s so important to have a counsellor. Vicarious trauma is very real even when the researcher is writing from scars not wounds. #PhDlife #Autoethnography

Sat on a step in Florence having a beer waiting for a ghost tour. Might go search out some live music after. A couple years ago I’d never have gone out and done this stuff on my own. 2 years single and loving my peace and feeling right in my skin. #LifeAfterDivorce

I nabbed a yellow ticket bargain of a big joint of roasting beef. I thought I had left it cooling after dinner safely away from Baldrick & Mags to use the rest in spag Bol and cottage pie in the week. WRONG! They’ve teamed up and ate the lot!

Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills. The Telegraph - Greens are "hard left."
The real threat to labour isn't bumbling Corbyn - it's the greens.

I’ve found study hard this year. I think it’s a combination of a meds change & the realisation that I’ll need a first full draft finished in little over a year. Focus and overwhelm have figured quite highly. However, finally feeling like the PhD malaise is passing. On with the coding! #PhDlife

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

Insomnia and night-sweats do have their uses. I love the dawn chorus. The way the birds start singing just before the sun rises in excitement and anticipation. Mathew 6.25-34 springs to mind #Perimenopause
Sun rise over rural west wales. 

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink,[a] or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life?[b] 28 And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32 For it is the gentiles who seek all these things, and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God[c] and his[d] righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

34 “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
