So fricken crypto has become bloody impossible to buy in the UK now.
Spent most of my day off wrestling with vpns and exchanges and verification services.
Have to sit patiently now to see if I’ve just flushed £70 down the drain or if I can actually pay for another vial.

“Ere, mate. How are you built like that?” Says one of the teenage boys that came up to me as I’m stood outside my wife’s work, waiting to walk her home.
“Like what?” I confidently reply. They walk off laughing amongst themselves.

Running this tomorrow if anyone fancies chucking a last few quid at a good cause. It's 23 degrees Celsius with no cloud cover so please consider donating before I disintegrate into a pile of dust at the 20 mile mark 🙏
I'm running the Valencia marathon in 4 days (!), so I'm doing a last minute push to help get money to @deeboom.bsky.social and @stargocks64.bsky.social for their trans healthcare fundraisers.
Any amount of money and any shares massively appreciated 🙏🖤❤️ Ty Ty

Last wedding of the year and I’m chilling whilst the groom has a shower.
I’m just happy he didn’t want a bath.

Bloody immigrants.
Walking over here on their land bridges.
They ruined England for the real English.
Like Red Deer or something. I dunno.

Farewell little yellow Skoda.
Bought as a commuter car, you ended up taking us the length and breadth of Britain every other weekend.
The cause of thousands of bruises on children’s arms.
A ladder for group shots.
You will be missed. (Because it’s bloody cold out there. I hate driving)

Haven’t shaved my head for a few days as I’ve been ill.
Emma can see white peach fuzz everywhere. There’s a real chance I might have enough to have a proper head of hair. Minoxidil may have worked.
I should be ecstatic but I daren’t let myself dream. Too scared of disappointment.

Ringo and Ziggy are coming back home today.
They went to stay with the in-laws on Tuesday whilst we shot Wednesday’s wedding. Then they got snowed in.
The house has felt empty without my boys.

Melting snow slid off the roof. Knocked the gutter loose and took at least two tiles with it.
I’m in bed munching antibiotics for a chest infection and really shouldn’t be hiring ladders to fuck about on my roof.
Life can be rather inconvenient sometimes.

Loud music. Sweaty punks, metal heads, and trans people.
It still strikes me every time I feel happy. Like, true happiness is still a novelty to me.
Estrogen is so good for my brain.

Finish work at 10pm tonight.

I CAN make it!
I’d agreed to shoot this gig before I got a job. Thankfully my wife has stepped in. Absolute hero. 🦸♀️

Blegh.
Caught a lurgy. My voice sounds like Barry White, which is hilarious but also dysphoric af.
Shame I’m still in my trial period at work because there’s no chance I’m risking my job by going off sick. 🤒

Sleeper/Rialto gig in Newcastle Thursday night. Hull fair last night.
Exhausted and skint but I’m fucking alive. And I never thought I’d say that at this age when I was 25.
Cheeky little poem there.

HOLY SHIT!
It’s taken 11 months but I have my referral to Nottingham Gender Clinic.
Hopefully, when we’ve rebuilt from the coming shit-storm, I’ll be able to access care and not have to be DIYing in my old age.
It’s a long shot but the pendulum does tend to swing.
