I didn't anticipate that Labour would be the party to tip us into the Years and Years timeline...

Even more reason to leave 'normal island'....

Went to a crochet workshop this morning... Maybe I finally understand the basics.
Obviously I shall spend all afternoon crocheting now to practice

This is something else...

Just putting it out there that as an autistic person I still wear underwear... I just found comfortable ones.

We've agreed to do a social thing in the evening today (well 6 o'clock) and I'm not sure what we were thinking.... Urgh

Just found out the waiting list for Neurology up here is 2 years...
I will probably be able to see a consultant quicker once we have emigrated than I can do here.
How ridiculous

Watching a Manchester based series on netflix for an added sense of familiarity with local accents and city scenes 🥰

Would you leave the UK now if you had the chance?

We were planning to leave in 27, but now debating leaving next year instead

I'm making bread and trying to supress another urge to learn to crochet again...
A totally normal day off

Such a significant step, but still not full decriminalisation and it's more than 150 years after it was introduced

I had a realisation today: I'm not antisocial so much as I'm just increasingly disappointed by other humans
June 2, 2025 at 8:41 PM
This really wouldn't suprise me...
After all they don't want to tax the rich too heavily as most Labour MPs would probably be taxed too

The UK can't afford adequate welfare spending but can increase its defence and weapons spending, just in case.
Honestly f*ck these priorities

UK defence review to send 'message to Moscow' – Healey
At least six new factories will be built and up to 7,000 UK-built long-range weapons will be procured.

Turns out I'm surprisingly grumpy about the ending of this week's Doctor Who

They're not even pretending otherwise anymore.
This is fascism

It's not even a bank holiday weekend here yet I'm still digging up the garden.
It's been great fun removing turf and layers of stones underneath

Today I am trying to convince my partner that we should buy a farm.
I even made a song to the tune of 'let's go fly a kite'

UK house prices really are the most ridiculous things...
I say this even as an owner of a small cottage.
May 19, 2025 at 11:00 AM
My new life plan: buy a derelict cottage in Ireland with a few acres of land (the important bit). Put a polytunnel on it and start a plant nursery...
Who knows if I'm joking at this point

Holiday!
Though I've not gone anywhere and this is 20 minutes from my house, it's my first official time off in my own business
May 14, 2025 at 1:35 PM
Another reason I'm looking forward to leaving the UK is so that I won't have to hear about the royal family as often
May 12, 2025 at 9:05 PM
Today a sizeble part of my inner self, whether soul or similar non-religious description, wants to retrain into gardening...
I also need a holiday.

Are the two related, possibly. Does knowing this reduce the internal desire to retrain?
No, not really
