Gosh that was a long and disappointing day. Yet another NHS department that has kicked me off their list bc ‘we can’t actually treat you because you are too complex’.

I now have no hospital support other than emergency care.

Hospital middle of nowhere. Car park refused to give us a ticket but we should be disabled free anyway. Appointment at least an hour late. Bored stupid. Heart rate 136bpm. They took it 3 times just to be sure.

Morning Skyfolk. Today is hospital in the middle of nowhere in the snow day.

Gotta say, I'm already impressed with the people running fit camp. They're going out of their way to ensure they don't break me, and have a nutritionist working on how to help with my restrictive eating. Good people.

Our first ever Whitby Goth Weekend, around 2003. Amazing crowd. And my huge grin.

Ah yes, the work Christmas party when the Christmas tree fell on my head.

Also, my masters graduation with my favourite person.

Morning Skyfolk. Setting aside geopolitical anxiety today & having a pre Whitby packing day, plus time in my study going through old photos of my bro who is 60 next month. He gave me a super record for Christmas that I need to spin. Be prepared for vinyl & old photos spam!

SCREAMS INTO THE EVRI VOID

They've claimed 3 times they attempted delivery and put notes through my door. They haven't attempted once to deliver.

And M&S aren't enabling online customer service support for non delivery, nor answering their customer support line. I'm screaming into nothingness.

I’m not sure if I’m amused or irked that my gp practice signed me up for a 12 week health boot camp without warning.

It actually sounds quite fun, so I’m going with amused.

Poem today: New Constellations by Peter Abbs.

‘You do not begin alone; rather, you extend
A narrative…’

The greatest TV show ever made.

#RobinOfSherwood
Since y'all asked nicely, here's my complete history of Robin of Sherwood. One of the finest TV shows ever made. Hugely influential. Most modern cinematic/TV Robin Hood tropes trace back to it.

As Herne would say:

"Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten."

Morning Skyfolk.

Neurology has written to my gp for the third time to tell him I’m a hysterical woman. Advising medication even a quick glance at my records would show was contraindicated.

And breathe….

A beautiful piece of writing about the reality of living with long term chronic illness that doesn't have an end point.

Today’s poem was The Harm by Colette Bryce. Beautiful use of perspective. Haunting twist. Loved it .

When you realise there’s no milk.

On the plus side, Asda’s cheese was heavily reduced.

jiminy's animal reviews: Found along Australia’s southern coast is the leafy seadragon (𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴), a relative of the seahorse. They gently swim through the water with tiny fins so as to appear like seaweed. This protects them from most predators except for underwater stoners. 🧵

Going back to reading a poem a day that catches my mood in January. Today, Wendell Berry’s Below.

‘All my dawns cross the horizon
And rise, from underfoot.
What I stand for
Is what I stand on.’

New year vibes.
Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

The next 8 hours are going to be spent trying to keep Jack ok when fireworks set the sky on fire. Solidarity to my fellow nervous pet owners.
