And the scene where he was in his childhood and then suddenly adult Bruce was there made me gasp. It was like a moment of schema therapy imagery in real life.

I was in ikea and a performative parent loudly talked to her toddler the entire time. "Ooh it's a silence darling! Shall we try and be mousy quiet? It's hard isn't it poppet? Ooh let's put our fingers on our lips and whisper like tiny mice!"

Thanks. I know... i get so embarrassed admitting it though

Thanks!

Aaaaanyway. I'm watching Letter to Brezhnev for the first time in maybe 25 years? 30 years?

I assume testing is expensive, but i used to donate often.. oh well.

I wish I could donate again. I used to do it a lot, but I had a transfusion in 96 at the peak of CJD so I can't.

Random British theatre person in it, someone who had recently died when shown, kept popping up in various time periods... remember it as bonkers and crazy, had lots of dancing and was possibly a musical.

Thanks! I will keep them safe.

I wanted velvet ones for so long and never saw any! And these were in the horrible outlet place for NINETY pounds.

I'm seeing another friend for coffee next week to tell her about my Internet dalliance, and I'm anticipating the same. I'll be intrigued to see if she'd realised.

I've heard about the repeated coming out thing but it's never been necessary til now when I've wanted to talk about someone, and now I'm really noticing. It's fine really, and certainly less scary than the first time

It was really nice that she just carried on the conversation (I was telling her about having new exciting talking to someone stage) without being noticeably surprised that it was a woman

It feels a bit frustrating that this has to keep happening over and over. It's not as scary now at least, I suppose. But as I'm sort of starting talking to someone it feels like it might have to happen more soon, which does feel a bit daunting...
