It's a prime square © day.
Today is the 349th day of the year, a prime number, and there are 16 days left, a perfect square.

Talking of perfect squares, how did I not know this before this year?
Not only is that a lovely equation but both sides, obviously, add up to 365!

I had a long chat with a good friend on Friday and she recommended that for the sake of my mental health I get off the bird place. Consequently, I have deactivated my account. Which means I have more time to dedicate to here and mastodon

Off to by mincemeat in order to make mince pies this afternoon. Should I buy rum or brandy to add to the mincemeat?

I am going to be using the recipe from Jeanette Winterson's book Christmas Days but I am too late to make my own mincemeat. Next year.

I am really wary of asking this but when I come across a post with Adult Content and I try to see what it is, I cannot see it. What am I doing wrong?

Yesterday: Christms meal in London with a few trans friends.

Today: Christms meal in Reading with a few trans friends.

Sat 16 Dec: Christms meal in Oxfordshire with a few LGBTQ+ friends.

Wed 20 Dec: Christms meal in West Berkshire with a few trans friends.

Do I need to widen my net of friends?

I have just resigned from my swimming club after 34 years. If anyone knows of anywhere else I can train in the Reading UK area...

Just shy of what looks like a wet and dismal Cheltenham Spa. Couldn't get my laptop to connect to the GER WiFi so all the work I thought I would get done will have to wait until I get into the office.
Oh, and I've forgotten to bring *any* toiletries 🤦🏻‍♀️

Been up sine 05.00. Catching the 06.41 train to Cheltenham Spa, but it is for the lat time this year!

This trans person is going to go to training with her swimming club this evening for the first time since the end of July. I have been swimming competitively for 55 years yet I am nervous.

Conversation from a friend's recent date:
He: It's so nice to meet someone who's nearly as clever as me.
She: I'm in mensa.
He: What's that?

As my profile says, I am a trans woman. I would dearly love to get involved in supprting the trans community. Any suggestions?

The last time England's men's team made it to a World Cup Final, the FA still banned women from playing the game.

I sometimes create tasks in Outllook that are many months in the future. When I do, I often add a note or two describing my current situation so that when I eventually read the task I get a little glimpse into my life as it was. I also get the opportunity to reflect on how much my life has changed.
