Yeah exactly, keep the ones who were there close for sure

I'm glad you've been able to get your thoughts and feelings out in text. This sounds incredibly painful. I can relate to being very unwell in hospital and not hearing from family, though it was the other way for me and was my parents. I had lots of mixed feelings about it but it stung x

Thank you pal 😭😭

I'm considering renewing my passport early in case that becomes more difficult or impossible. I really didn't think when I first transitioned that I'd have to worry about this.

I definitely think having a crunchy texture improves all salads!

It was pretty good! If you fancy trying it;

Drain 1 can chickpeas & coat in oil, salt & pepper. Spread thin on baking sheet and roast at 200C for 10 mins. Add oregano & sliced garlic & roast for 10-15 until crispy

Roast broccoli in oil with salt & pepper.

Cut tomatoes, mix, add fresh lemon juice

Thank you!!

It may feel a bit Christmassy but this gingerbread recipe can be increased with ease and never fails me for gift boxes. Very fun if you bulk buy some icing tubes so kiddos can decorate them!

A hero to us all!

I'm on team repulsed but amused.

I was very indifferent to my name before transition and didn't think it suited me particularly. I don't think I realised how indifferent I was until I chose my new name and immediately loved it!

Perfect!

Pastry can make me so angry! They could be blitzed into crumbs to make a biscuit like pot for wee ramekins perhaps?

Hoping to make a wee video showing everything over the next few days!
