Sunny hat!
You did remarkably well not to commit any homicides.
I'm aiming for a similar glorious result. Please take my current suffering as a votive offering.

Wow, that's right back at the start! Thank you, those early learners made a huge difference for us 🙏
It'll be great to have you back in the saddle - good luck with the move. 🙂

Spennyware was such a huge step forwards for me, being able to start to imagine bigger things - we've struggled to match it, really, and that's been a long term weakness of ours. But I think we're closer than we've ever been to something robust now... 🤞

One of the reasons I listen a bit to my daughter is that I have experiences like this, where someone says 'I'm not very neurotypical' and I think 'what on earth do you mean, you seem utterly norrrrroh hang on a minute...' 🤣

I feel very approved of 😅🙏
I'm a bit conflicted about it. I see the markers other people notice, and I know my daughter would LOVE it to be something we share - and maybe I just learnt to mask very well at a young age - but, mmm, just not entirely sure. Interesting, though!

Wait, you're up to SEVEN words now? Outstanding work, sir. 😅
We're all good, thank you. Finally starting to produce in other languages, may just need a couple of key partnerships for a bit more reach 🤞

I think I actively want to limit numbers now. I've not found occasional higher numbers anywhere particularly interesting/pleasant.

Spenny! Oh, well *that's* a bonus! Yes, I'm sure you can imagine how happy I am to have fewer characters. How the devil are you, sir?

I'm clearly going to be liking and replying to everything for the foreseeable future 🤣

Yes. It has to be about interoperability and zero robber barons in the long run, I hope!

Gah, I'm clicking all the wrong buttons at the moment 🤣 I have a love/hate relationship with change 😉

I've got loads of love for normies (oversharing alert!) and I absolutely get that I don't fit very well for lots of them - which is completely okay 🙂

I don't resent the people who see me in a negative way AT ALL.
They've all got their own stuff to carry, and if I make that harder for them, I don't want them to have to put up with me on top of what they're already dealing with!

I recognise some of those elements in myself, and I think I'm getting gradually better at turning down the dial when I'm with other people, but it's always very joyful for me when I get to be unfiltered with other slightly neurospicy dreaming imagining folk.

Oh, hang on, also maybe should add that I'm not very neurotypical. I often get told that I talk too much, and/or that I'm too intense, or that I overshare or that I'm 'not normal' or 'just too much'.
My daughter's been assessed as having autism, and she's hugely keen for me to share it with her!

(although I do still get itchy feet now and again, so it might not be the end of that story just yet).
There we are. If any of that seems interesting, say hello, and let's see if we end up part of each other's 150 🙂
P.S.

Oh, and I've lived and worked in lots of countries - Wales, England, Germany, Portugal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Zimbabwe, Dubai - people are often interested in that, although it all seems a long time ago to me now - I've been settled in Wales for the last twenty years...

I could never have predicted how much I would be able to rewire my brain for happiness.
That's probably what I'll talk about most of the time, because I love seeing other people becoming happier.
