Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the UK is transphobic, or if the algorithmic promotion of a hate filled minority is making it seem like it is.
It’s heartwarming to see public opinion show overwhelming support for trans people ❤️
A Hampshire Live article with the title "Southampton council plans to sell empty council houses in need of major repairs"
Despite what they said, Southampton City Council seems set to sell off much needed council housing at a time of crisis.We have a cost of living crisis and an eight year waiting list, now is not the time to be selling off vital public services such as housing.
Vote green to save our council houses.
A look back at all the books I read in 2025. Some were great. Some were OK.

The cliffhanger at the end of Strange the Dreamer was a gut punch. Especially when a satisfying ending was within our grasp.
Fine! I’ll read the second one.

Funny comic strip of a dog climbing onto its owners lap, and then into their mouth. Illustration drawn into simplistic cartoon line art style. By Amii Illustrates.
I’ve had to turn the beep off on the printer. The dogs think it’s cheerful acknowledgment sounds are too threatening

With “The Final Empire” and “The Well of Ascension” behind me, I think I need a palate cleanser before book 3.
Not that book 2 was bad, but it didn’t reach the same heights the first did.

“The Final Empire” is taking me a bit longer to finish than expected. Time to clear my calendar today and power through.

Finished ugly-cry reading “The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy” last night. It started slow but I couldn’t put it down towards the end. Of the two romance novels I’ve read, I definitely prefer the dual POV of this one 📚💙

Finished the #JanuaryPagesChallenge on @thestorygraph.com. Even though some days I only managed to read a few pages in bed, it did encourage me to read everyday
First meeting of the book club tonight. Reviewing “A Fate Inked in Blood” which I absorbed in two days

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches was a joy to read. Very cozy, a unique plot, with rich character development. Couldn’t put it down!

This is probably the most useful thing I discovered in 2024 thega.me.uk/code/ssh-ins...
Finally read “The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe” and my only takeaway is that a “looking glass” is not a magnifying glass — like I have assumed my whole adult life — but a mirror

Thank goodness no one has more than 14 characters in their last name…
Update on the millionaires shortbread:
I think we have narrowed it down to a “Malted Milk” or a “Ginger Nut” base.
Salted caramel and chilli chocolate are a given at this point.
Live Controversy: In our theoretical 'Muppets: The Lord of the Rings' there has been suggestion that Big Bird should play Gandalf. I'm still pushing my 'Swedish Chef' casting (because I think it would be hilarious if no-one could understand a damn word he says) but I'm outnumbered so far
On book 5 of “The Murderbot Diaries” and I am loving them. Each one so far has been a captivating (and reasonably short) story that I can’t put down app.thestorygraph.com/series/12
If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
I made millionaires shortbread, but I replaced the shortbread with Hobnobs. A touch too rich
My partner on Rebel Moon:
Hi I’m Zac Snyder, President and CEO of Zac Snyders Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Exposition Emporium and Warehouse! Thanks to a shipping error I’m now currently overstocked on wacky waving inflatable arm flailing exposition, and I’m passing the exposition on to you!
Made some cinnamon rolls today. Not bad for a first attempt
Spitfire mural on the side of the pub.
The Victoria in Woolston dates back to the 1850s. Local artist Slam Daniels painted this magnificent Spitfire mural earlier this year. The pub is situated around 600 yards from the factory where the Spitfire was designed and first built.
If you put egg boxes at the back of your bookshelves, you can fit twice as many.
Now you have an excuse to buy more books! #booksky
