Not all that long ago, we had a referendum and Bristol voted for a more collaborative, representative and democratic system of local government

Now Westminster says we can't have it

My rumbling disappointment in this labour government continues

@mrmmarsh.bsky.social @aliceemmalouise.bsky.social Hello hello!

So here I am, breaking my lengthy social media silence so I can be probably the ten thousandth person to recommend prefixing the www. bit of recipe pages with cooked.wiki/ to strip out all the junk and reduce to ingredients and method

Stressed out to fuck, short-tempered, and about to have this year's teary Christmas-breakdown in the middle of a Christmas market

Compliments of the season to you too

@drnickmorris.bsky.social Hi

Thanks for the follow!

Welcome to Bluesky, and to boating!

Currently auditioning a new candidate for the role of part time boyfriend

Sunday night was the staying up all night talking and cuddling night which was very sweet, but god this week is a struggle now

Okay, after a long break from social media in the post-twitter world, and failing to get here or mastodon to stick, I'm giving this another go, so...

Hello Bluesky

God, this app is so fucking tedious

I've done a lot of running this weekend, and finally listened to The Velvet Rage

It's great, busy I'm not sure taking through it in one weekend does it justice

I think I want a nice little queer book group to work through it reflecting on one chapter at a time

What?

Who, me?!

No. YOU'RE listening to Come From Away and crying into YOUR dinner

Well well...

Look who I've found, @thecidershedpod.bsky.social!

Grindr, but for someone to give you a cuddle and stroke your hair and make comforting sshhhing noises until you fall asleep after an upsetting film

Theatre for MacBeth yesterday

In the cinema now, bracing myself for All of us Strangers

Quite the artsy weekend

Struggling a bit today

Woke up thinking I might be ill, and briefly considered a sick day

But on review, I can't identify a single specific symptom or ailment, just a general not-quite-rightness

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source...

Should go for a run

Can't be arsed going for a run

Somehow changing in to running gear feels like harder work than the run itself

3 times today people said shit that made me uneasy and I said nothing

At first I was a bit pissed off with everyone else, but I've spent the evening turning it inward and getting cross with myself for staying quiet

So that's just super

Anyone romanticising the beautiful idyl of #narrowboat life should be forced to change a gas canister, outdoors, in the dark, at 6:15am, in -4° conditions before they can have their first cup of tea of the day

Thawing out now

Big news. Before Christmas my mooring status changed to 'liveaboard', giving me security & legitimacy, and I can vote here

New address has been approved and, this week, exists in the royal mail database!

Postbox installed today

I'm off to send myself a postcard to see if the postman can find me

Went to have a look at this boat tonight

Head is spinning now

Lots to think about
Giving some serious thought to buying a new boat in 2024

Possibility of a widebeam has come up, and much as I love this place, the kids were 9 and 5 when I moved on and we're really starting to outgrow it now

I kind of have to consider it, but lots of logistics & financial considerations to weigh

Drinking culture in the UK is just SO pervasive!

If you want to buy a small gift for a colleague you don't know well booze could be good, but if you don't know them well do think a bit first

I mean, I'm sure nobody would send an alcoholic home from the office with two bottles of wine *on purpose*

Didn't quite have the new year I would have planned - traditionally my ex has the kids over new year but not this time

They didn't hamper celebrations like you'd expect. Really I'd have liked my quiet traditions of cleaning the fridge, and sitting down to reflect on 2023 and set some goals for 2024

He's been! HE'S BEEN!!

Santa business complete

And it's just struck me that tomorrow morning is the beginning of what everything has been building up to

For me I'm tucked up in bed feeling like that's it all finally done and I can rest
