As I’m only having one account here I’ll have to decide whether to reinvent myself.

Become as a vocal green activist, an OBGYN tweetorialist, a deep diver into #DarkTower lore or a breaker down of Amorim’s #MUFC tactics?

Ahh sod it, moaning about NHS bureaucracy it is.

Currently having a lovely holiday and therefore not miserable enough to be funny on a microblogging site.

Turns out wanting to order my drinks from a human makes me a boomer.

Capitalism is SOOOO good that the poor people can’t help but expect the same from governments is the shortest sighted take I’ve read in the ft.

My MO for this weekend mostly in the hospital and away from my guys. Sleep. Whenever I can. Lots of it.

I’m clearly using TikTok a lot less cos I’ve only just seen my first Spooky Lake Month video.

Oh another strike. Looks like I’ll be smashing the hours that week. At least it’ll make me some pennies…

Ugh I only transferred my doctors surgery in January now I gotta do it again 😭.

Also I forgot the postcode for my house that I only moved out of 4 months ago 😬

“Ooo Scott, why the beard?”

Is fast becoming one of them “ask a stupid question, get an inappropriate answer” questions.

“We recognise we have not completed this task in the timeframe WE SET OURSELVES, we will try and see what’s going on”

Oh as if it’s NHS bureaucracy that’s going to be the main delayer in my life. I could never have predicted that.

After a worrying morning waking up with a stiff knee, I’m back in the game.

COX: blocked
Range of movement: usable
Ikea and Monte Ropa are my goals

Watching @zackpolanski.bsky.social retweet all the hatchet jobs from the right wing press.

I knew the Green Party BEFORE it had 100,000 members!

Also its saved loads of money (and flight carbon) on holidays

Scott Mabbutt @scottmabbutt.bsky.social · 10d

It’s the 4th time we’ve been in a year (apparently the whole family needs to spend 60 days a year there to make it break even) and I haven’t run into my previously held belief that I’d get bored quickly.

Turns out having your in-laws have a caravan to go to hits the sweet spot of “No holiday faff” with “Not at home in job mode” and “feels like a holiday”

Very relaxing weekend in wet and windy Llyn.
