I dunno❔what's happening to the world! Neighbours spying on neighbours, reporting everything that happens to the secret police! 🚨🐈⬛
Just the other day I was walking to class✍️ and this nosy, and dare I say it, haughty neighbour shamelessly sat themselves in the window gawking👀 at me!🤣 #SpéirGhorm ☘️🌈🌟

I wrote a sci-fi🚀 novel. I think it's good. A reader compared it to Philip K Dick. The thing is the protagonist is trans and is 'sci-fi' transitioning; a part focus.
A feeling I have is it's too trans for regular readers and too weirdo sci-fi/dystopia for trans fic.
I need to figure it out.🫠

It was so warm and cosy here I actually managed to relax a little after spending twenty minutes just sitting in the heat with a coffee.
So relaxing I made some fairly important connections on some life stuff once I got home. Not earth-shattering but good to know. It'll help me in the future. <3

I went for a sosig roll, but they were out of sosig rolls so I had a mini ham, cheese and onion quiche and a coffee. Now I'm eating leftover noodles. What a successful day! (Liz, it's 4pm.)

Useless!👎☘️Not posted yet but I interviewed a jeweller in a wheelchair at a FET College.
She's looking at about €50k to get setup in her own accessible workshop; the €€€ needed for one person while this has projects supposed to cover the entire nation getting just a little more than that #spéirghorm

More from the craft/jewellery fair in the Cork FET College. #SpéirGhorm All the students were making full use of the workshop facilities (hence the dirty nails/hands from working with the metals and chemicals.)
There's a big problem with workshop space availability once they graduate. A shame! 😞🫠🙃

I went to a Further Education craft fair in Cork today. Amazing stuff to be seen!
The general complaint was once finishing the course the start-up cost and workshop cost is too high. One woman, who I interviewed, talked about workshop space being ♿inaccessible but is working on a plan. #SpéirGhorm

For those who browse at work; The No Pain in the Ass Pita. A recipe I wrote up for my blog yesterday🌈🏳️⚧️
Easy as a snack. Two for a big meal for a hungry woman, more for a family. Affordable, tasty and leaves you with plenty of leftovers.

I found time to write, again. That was as I had a wild night all on my ownsome Friday evening. A real let-loose going mental in the kitchen cooking a delicious pita while drinking and dancing.
I've now recovered enough to write the very easy recipe! #SpéirGhorm 🌈

A view from the place I'm doing my DIY Course. Unfortunately not every walk home has had the weather like this. There's been horrific storms and rain, too. And I don't have a hat.
No hat is part of the reason I chopped my hair off. I don't want long hair getting caught up in drills and oils.

I had my toolbox analysed at my DIY course yesterday. I was told it's very good. The only thing I felt was really missing was a ratchetting screwdriver and a drill (I'll get the drill in Aldo.)
The tutor said what I was really missing was a handsaw. I'll research that!
