No problem, some things need a few runs out so you know how best to adapt

Happy to advise if you want to give it a try. Illustrations of cheaper stuff are often AI so don’t always reflect reality. I understand why (good fashion photography isn’t cheap) but it’s annoying

That is something quite special

Signed! My Crohn’s treatment makes me eligible, but Ian doesn’t qualify so that leaves me with potential exposure. Given the potential long term effects more people should be offered it.

Petition: Fund NHS COVID boosters for Clinically Vulnerable people – keep covid boosters 'Protect the NHS' and 'Save Lives' by continuing to fund NHS COVID boosters for Clinically Vulnerable people, including most previously shielded as CEV, rather than limiting them to over-75s, care hom...

Please consider signing this. I am clinically vulnerable, I care for someone who is 96 and has dementia, yet the Government has decided that I now have to pay ~Β£100 for a covid vaccine. Many clinically vulnerable people cannot afford this.

Awful, I genuinely don’t understand why people are so hateful.

The histamine response makes it an allergy. Food intolerances don’t set that off, obviously they can still be pretty rubbish and we don’t understand enough about them.

Back to normal today, yesterday was stressful but went well. Today a trip to buy a rug because one of the dogs is scared of the hard flooring.

Thank you, we will know in about 3 months or so. No rushing it seems

πŸ˜‚ so far I’ve not started any arguments.

Bored. Sitting in hospital having the first of a new treatment regime for Crohn’s. Two hours of infusion. Then two hours of observation. I have my kindle and can’t concentrate, so I’m poking the Internet

Some questions for Elon Musk courtesy of the late Tony Benn:

What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you use it?
To whom are you accountable?
And how do we get rid of you?

Is the Shingles Vaccine Protective Against Dementia? A definite maybe

Data is mounting that the shingles vaccine is protective against dementia. It's not definitive, but it's interesting. In addition, the effect is more pronounced for women. vajenda.substack.com/p/is-the-shi...

I wouldn't usually do this, but help needed - this year has been a car crash of epic proportions.

All of my Nick Holleran books have been put into one collection! Out today, it's in KU and is only 0.99.

That's 1,000 pages!

Dresden Files meets Supernatural with an emphasis on found family.

I hope they make a speedy recovery. It’s good it was caught in time to get treated.

Hard to say, it was starting to get dark when it happened. Landlord has been and will be getting a tree surgeon in to take it down and sorting insurance claim. She hasn’t got a hole in her bedroom ceiling so that a positive.

Today we travelled from the Midlands to to North Wiltshire. Windy, but we’ve had worse, got home and learned shortly after that darling daughter had a tree fall on her house.

Feeling somewhat pleased with myself today. Chatting with an older relative (who is actually open minded). She was struggling with β€œthey” as she said, it’s a plural.
So I simply replied ”look at them over there, what are they doing?”
You could see cogs turning, and she said thanks I get it now.

Another busy weekend done, back to work for a rest!
At least it was sunny for walking the hellhounds.

Funnily enough I actually told a client this week I was still waiting for Cinderella’s mice to turn up, meanwhile it’s just me 😜.

One of the most common things people say β€œit fits really well, it’s just needs making shorter, and smaller around the top”
I’m never sure what they think is a good fit.
Usually followed by some other complicated alteration, e.g add sleeves

Exciting news today, got the vacuum cleaner unblocked. It was full of dog hair and glitter.
My life.
