Mum's surgery seems to have gone well. In ICU for now but should be placed in a ward soon. Now to hope there was no spread before they joined everything out

Scottish folk- what's a good city to spend a couple of days in after the fringe? Went to Glasgow last year but want to see more of Scotland.

Great evening seeing Nish Kumar, was well needed. It's nice to see someone who cares SO much about things even if things are a bit bleak at the moment.

I want this more than anything but this, now, is a bad idea. As a country we are not in the right place to have a sensible discussion about it

Finally. After two weeks of drip, drip, drip and my ceiling falling through, the leak has been stopped. Third repair callout's the charm it seems.

Kitchen ceiling still very much a problem and they will have to take it down, but they have now removed the water tank at least. Can't do anything about the mum thing but everything else seems to be slowly looking up a bit if I squint a little.

If anyone is thinking about getting a new bed, I wouldn't recommend Dreams. They pushed back my delivery so I've had 3 weeks sleeping on the floor. Now, the day before the rearranged date, they forgot to pack the bedframe so only gettythe mattress. Not sure how it can be that difficult

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

Unsurprisingly, this didn't end up materialising. As always it's the hope that gets you.

Working in an office with an am-dram person is annoying. Every conversation projects across the entire floor. I respect it but god I also want to throw them out of the window.

This term's music is absolutely perfect for what I need at the moment. A Bach mass and Handel's Messiah. Lovely.

Brother finally knows about mum's cancer. Feels wrong to be relieved that he is now sad, but at the rate things are going I was worried he'd find out when things were at the end. Hope he learns to keep hold of a phone for more than 5 minutes

No cancer spread. Thank god for that (though her kidneys are still bad so who knows when chemo will start). Nice to have some good news for the first time in a while

ADHD is absolutely exacerbated by the neoliberal society we live in. That doesn’t mean it isn’t real, or that medication isn’t helpful. Perhaps we /should/ make everything less time-pressured and just-in-time in the name of profit. Just maybe?

As pleased as I am to have part of the University of Bristol in South Bristol, shame it's such an uninspiring design. I don't understand the love of glass everywhere, just feels soulless.

Did what you're not supposed to do and looked at prognosis stats for mum. It's...not great. Early days and all but in a way I'm glad I know now so I can make the most of the time we have.
