As we approach the end of October (and the fast approaching first frost), I have made some time to dig up the last of the potatoes for this year 🥔

It is always the most fun part (for me) to dig through the soil and unearth them, not knowing how many there will be 😄

A touch of creative recycling later, I've repurposed a former tin of tea in to a fancy new dice box with a little tray 😄

Always a pleasure to take the commuter scooter out to run some errands on a warm; pleasant October morning 🛴

It's hard to believe that it's currently October when the nightshades growing in my garden are still thriving 🌱

It's been a little over five months since I took up my old hobby again 🏅

This weekend was my first proper 5k; in support of Birmingham Hospice's Rainbow Rush 🌈

It was delightful to run again and prove to myself that I can still do this (albeit covered in colourful paint 🙃) 🎨

I hope that I can have many more days like this; where I can housewife; where I can make home-made sticky toffee pudding; where I can continue to see my wife's joy 😊

Here's a fun statistical anomaly.

We opened 3 Kinder eggs, (assuming an even distribution of toys;) each egg has a 1/16 chance of being Batgirl.

P(A ∩ B ∩ C); (A, B, C = 1/16), that's a 0.024414063% or 1/4096 probability that all 3 eggs were Batgirl.

Same as the current odds for a shiny Pokémon.

That's seriously impressive 😮

Here I am still wondering if 30kg is so far above my current limit that I should go back to using 25kg...

Good idea :)

I would just like to assert that I am in fact an oracle and that I shall be speaking no further on my divine powers 😎

(For the avoidance of doubt, this is a joke. I am not in fact an oracle; I just have slightly mediocre observation skills.)

I decided that I wanted a keepsake to remember August (as well as all the wonderful places I've travelled to across the 200 miles) by; so I plugged my fitness tracker data in to a virtual challenge app to receive this 😃

I think I'll hang it with all of my old fun run medals 🏅

Having set myself the distance challenge of covering 200 miles (by foot) in August; I've managed completion in 23 days 🎉

I'm getting there, one day at a time 🏃‍♀️

98 days since first writing, I've received a response from my MP @antoniabance.bsky.social to my concerns over the treatment of trans people within the UK.

I shall take time to carefully read/understand its content before drafting my reply.

This is the badge that NHSBT gave me for donating blood 10 times. I started medical transition shortly after receiving it.

They (despite continuing to email me) have refused my donation every single time I've asked since.

Had they not refused, I'd likely have given over 50 times by now...

A new page in my #junkjournal ✏️

I (recently) was fortunate enough to have some time to visit the @rammuseum.bsky.social in Exeter (as well as the surrounding area).

I was most impressed with their LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ exhibits, as well as their fossil collection 🦴

A new double-page in my #junkjournal ✏️

This is about the day we saw Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at The Crescent Theatre ✨

We had paused for a moment outside of Boots to allow a group to exit the store (when it happened).

Fortunately for us, the staff inside had seen the whole incident and kindly brought us inside to get cleaned up (and on our way).

We also left with some day cream (which was most kind of them).

I was delighted this week to be able to see my favourite play (Sweeney Todd). It was EXCELLENT (especially the actor portraying Anthony).

The day however was somewhat tarnished when (earlier in the day), someone threw a cup of (what I believe to be) iced tea over myself and my wife.
