I've finally written the last of my Christmas cards.
Just need stamps now.
I might actually walk up to the Post Office tomorrow morning while my laundry is in the dryer since it's forecast to be dry in the morning.
Or I might not - depends on how much the forecast cold temps get to my knee!

It’s the time of year when I do my Christmas auction. This mouse icon is up for auction and it’s to raise money for Shelter Cymru & Doctors without borders. 100% of the money raised will go to these charities on a 50-50 basis.

Bigots of every stripe just being openly bigoted these days.
It doesn't occur to him that we're 5 YEARS into an ongoing global pandemic?
Or that a lot of people have spent years, if not their entire lifetimes, minimising their own struggles in an attempt to fit into an ableist, neurotypical society?

Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

Streeting orders review into mental health and ADHD diagnosis
The health secretary said the aim was to tackle a rising demand for services and the increased pressure on the NHS.

Annoyed by the realisation I can't go to the launderette tomorrow as I don't have enough money left. It cost me £17 last week as I needed a bigger and more expensive machine to wash my stuff since I'm wearing multiple layers against the cold weather.
£3 ain't enough. Can only hope it's not busy.

I condemn in the strongest possible terms the exclusion of trans girls from Girl Guides.
So I want also to spread the word about Woodcraft Folk, who have never waivered in their support & inclusion of trans kids (& were founded in rejection of the patriarchal & imperialistic values of Scouts).
