Hello! Good morning, and happy friday...

On this day last year, I went to the hairdressers. Then I went home and put on my first dose of Oestrogel ;-).

Happy 1 year HRT-versary. Photo's not quite the full year but the most recent one with a similarly made up face.
What was your #childhoodcinema

Newer signage than I remember. First film I think I saw with friends was Toy Soldiers.

Answer is in the alt-text :)

Doing my DSE training about how I should be sat upright, feet on the floor and so on..

Chair reality right now more like the GIF..

Talking to plumbers about replacing manhole cover that's collapsed in the back garden.

Was so tempted to ask if they accept sticks of RAM as a payment method ;-)

Oh good.. Snow is falling. I look forward to the amazing school run SUV driving and entitlement that will be cross my path later.

We used to get regular usenet article removal requests from the Internet Watch Foundation. We'd get a list of Message-IDs and we'd have to go remove them from our news server.
i remember when creating CSAM would mean your website was shutdown immediately and people not only wouldn't choose to hang out there but literally couldn't because again it was shutdown immediately

Bah. Somehow I've ended up with my hairdresser and my 12 weekly prescription refill in the same week.

RIP my credit card..

Hey lovelies!

Hope we all had a holiday break that was at least as good, or better than anticipated.

Brain decided to give me bottom surgery coded dream #2 last night..

Back to work this morning - my week on call, and one team member off.

How 'bout the rest of you?

Welcome to 2026, UK and easterly oriented people in my phone.

For those of you stuck in the USA, happy 1945.

Well, my "I'll have 90 mins on the VR turned into 45 mins of fixing beat saber and the mods, and 45 of actual sword flinging"

Good morning.. Whatever is happening and however good or bad things are, may today exceed any expectations you have for it. 💜

As a kid playing catch with my Dad, he accidentally hit me in the face with a baseball. When I started to cry, he told me "Boys don't cry." He always made good arguments, so I figured that since I couldn't stop crying, that meant I wasn't a boy.

So, afternoon tea yesterday went well..

Wish me luck today; we're off to Bluewater later, which I'm sure will be completely normal.

Mostly pootling around, but have a microdermabrasion at 4, and tickets to the ice rink for 6pm.

Will need to work out what to wear!

Ello world...

Busy day today - up the docs in an hour to get my decapeptyl jab done; then popping over to see step mum this afternoon since it's the 1st anniversary of when my dad died.

We're going to try and take her mind off things a bit with an afternoon tea.

And done.. The donation to Lina's appeal you can see on the donation page - it should be obvious which came from me ;-).

The problem with slow versions of heroes set to the final lovey dovey reunion scenes is that they make me...

Nah, the problem with oestrogen is that it..

Nah, the fact that I'm a sappy cow is that..

Maybe it's the unholy trinity of all of them! 🤣
December 21, 2025 at 9:26 PM
We have a winner! @robfreemanfluff.bsky.social just edges it with the bold play of going just over.

Given how little that was out, I'll up the donation to 50. Let me know the charity of choice please!
December 20, 2025 at 1:54 PM
Shopping is now delivered, will announce winner as soon as I get the final receipt through.
Stupid bit of xmas fun for anyone that's a moot.

My online xmas food shopping at the moment sits at £289, coming on Sat.

Guess the final amount after rejections, substitutions and unavailable items. Closest without going over gets to nominate a charity that i'll donate £30* to.

Teen comes home brimming with pride at their first BTEC certificate.

Moment slightly spoiled when we notice shortly after that they've managed to mis-spell our damned surname...

Have mailed the school and suggested someone might want to do a BTEC in proofreading.
December 19, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Aaaaand...

WE DONE... Well unless I get a callout over the weekend.
2 hours to go; time for the out of office cos it's unlikely I'll care enough to reply today now.. ;)
