Ah, many of the dogs biggest fans only got to meet them over the internet. His spirit’s always around, too.

Also, I now have two vaguely cat-shaped demons, if that’s any consolation… ☺️

It is. I promise you. Technically, aesthetically and emotionally
July 3, 2025 at 4:27 PM
Oh, that is just beautiful. Absolutely brilliant. Truth and beauty combined, which is why it’s never smart to piss off an artist.

You do form so well, it’s a delight to see. Even if cuckoos are bastards… The roses are perfect too.

Oh that’s lovely! I had a brief foray into bird paintings many years ago, and am promising myself to try again one day soon. Not with anything like that level of sheer joy, tho.

Do please come over and see us, that would be amazing! It’d be an absolute delight to see you in person.

Yes, ma’am. I just needed a hobby, and you know, I was there… I *am* very old now. I can fall apart if I like!

Actually now I’ve found Supernatural, that’s my new hobby.

But how are you? I was thinking about you not long ago too. How are you doing? What have you been up to? ☺️
June 29, 2025 at 8:31 PM
That’s always a good recommendation ☺️
June 29, 2025 at 8:27 PM
I tried it, but it didn’t take. It’s still on my list of things to look at again tho. Do please send more recs too ☺️
June 28, 2025 at 6:32 PM
I hereby encourage you. Just because I need more people to squee at, who will understand why I have to sometimes resort to tortured guineapig noises.

And I’m up to the tunnel episode, and omg it’s so tense - and I know what happens…
June 28, 2025 at 12:50 AM
EXACTLY! Dammit, why don’t more people recognise this!
June 28, 2025 at 12:09 AM
Do let me know next time, but I hope you had fun!

I absolutely adore Supernatural. If anyone had said that it had this much Angel content, sexual tension, violence, magic, angst & torture, I would have been on it sooner.

No other series has made me shout at the screen, cackle, or weep like this
June 28, 2025 at 12:08 AM
You put that beautifully. Tho I balk at ‘dreadful’. Some episodes I’m skipping over, yes, but that’s mostly just because they’re monster of the week and, well, have no Cas content. Or Jack. I’m up to series 13 again now, and skipping markedly fewer episodes.

Anyway, tell me of Down to Agincourt…
June 28, 2025 at 12:04 AM
Hi, you! ☺️

Honestly, I don’t think any of the small strangled squeaks I make over Cas being asleep on a sofa should be shared with anyone. I have the vestiges of dignity left. Probably…
June 25, 2025 at 10:34 PM
I also realise the amount of squeaking/shouting/swearing doesn’t get any less, second watch through. I *know* what’s going to happen dammit, but I still have to go “Nooooooooo…!”, “Caaa-aaassss…!”, “FFS DEAN!” and “Ohgod, Sam…” quite a lot.

I can never watch #Supernatural in company I now realise.
June 23, 2025 at 3:41 PM
Hey, you! I’m very intermittent on the socials, but I go through phases of catching up again. I’ve never really learned the ways of Bluesky. My policy has always been barrel in and post shit, and is even more so now lol. Hope you’re doing well! ☺️
June 23, 2025 at 12:19 PM
I’m not obsessed, it’s just a new low impact hobby, which is a very healthy and normal thing. Yes.
June 23, 2025 at 9:57 AM
I’ve found a new hobby that I’m able to keep up with, without expending too much energy. It’s called Supernatural, and I’ve watched it all now, so I’m watching it again 😬
Well, actually, the Cas episodes mostly. Ah, dear… But it’s making me very happy. Hope all is good with you! ☺️

Things are ok, mostly. Still playing symptom bingo and seeing what diagnoses come up. Still full of gallstones but no flare ups since December, so that’s good. I might get an operation on my elbow and see if that fixes my cubital tunnel. But doing alright all things considered. Cats still demons 👍🏻

There are loads of butch trans women and camp trans men, and loads of people who express gender in their own individual way.

And to get a GRC, you have to demonstrate that you have lived as your chosen gender for 2 years. Which ridiculously still means conforming to gender stereotypes 🙄

I have also been trying every flavour of Go To Sleep juice, for whilst I have been sleeping a whole lot, I’d like to start doing it at nights, and being awake in the daytime.

Fewer bizarre and disturbing dreams would be welcomed, too.
February 24, 2025 at 11:22 PM
I’m going to give Bluesky another go, because my social media bar is now set very low, & I need to have an idea what the Sweet Holy FUCK is going on in the world.

Turns out looking at Facebook and doomscrolling Reddit do not provide a balanced overview of world events. But I do have loads of memes!
February 24, 2025 at 11:22 PM
It was fun, and that pretty much covered all of December in the very lovely Whiston Hospital. I managed to total 3 MRIs, 1 CT with contrast, 3 x rays and I’m hoping I now qualify for a rewards card of some sort.

Since then, I have mostly been asleep. I think it’s safer.
