Your skin colour, religion, gender and sexuality are not how I will judge you. It's what's in your heart that counts.

Sartre would be feeling very snug today based on Reading town centre.

Today marks four weeks without me smoking anything, cigarettes or anything else.
There are still the odd moments in the evening when I really feel like sparking up a smoke, but I think I'm well past the point where I'm going to crack.

Good afternoon all 👋
Slept in very late today followed by a long bath. Off to town later to get my phone fixed. Might also see if I can pick up a stronger protective case 🤣
Hope everyone is having a great day 🤞

It may have been delayed by over a year, but I finally have my Analogue 3D and have been transported back to my post-grad years.
Not had a chance to go through all my cartridges yet, but what I've tried so far all seem to run perfectly.

Had a wonderful time with the fabulous @mrstales.bsky.social , even if the cottage pie I made was a little too peppery for her taste.
In keeping with my tradition of having at least one major cock up I sat on my phone and cracked the screen, £150 tomorrow to get it fixed, ouch.

Prepping the filling for my Italian cottage pie tomorrow.
Mince, dried herbs, a LOT of garlic, mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and red wine stock pots.
I thought this was my mum's recipe but have discovered that I misremembered, so this appears to be my original recipe.

All the shopping done for the meal I'm cooking on Friday.
My slightly Italian take on cottage pie, with carrots, peas and red cabbage in the side, followed by sticky toffee pudding and vanilla custard. Pinot noir with the meal, pinot grigio and salted caramel chocs for the evening.

Given the threat to the river the Environmental Agency's delays are unacceptable.
They must clear the site, and when the perpetrators are found make them pay for every penny of the clean up costs, but waiting until they are caught is sheer madness. 🤬

Arse, just had an email saying I've not progressed to the interview stage of a job I was rather keen on.
Fairly early days in my job hunt, and I've got my final pay and redundancy now which equates to roughly four months of my previous pay, so combined with benefits I'll be ok for a while.
