I've decided to go by Ashley, a Bi, NB Trans Woman. It suits my gender identity better and has the added advantage of of being both a boy and girl name for 'those occasions'. Don't get me wrong, I'm a trans woman and wish I could have transitioned in my teens, but here we are (see earlier post).
"biological male who identifies as a woman".

I'm only going to say this once.

FUCK THE BBC!

If I could cancel my TV licence I would.

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: eight maids-a-milking, seven swans-a-swimming, six geese-a-laying, FIVE GOLD RINGS, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Swan milkshake, yum.

Considering the level of abuse, and getting jail time (suspended), why doesn't the same criteria apply to anti trans posts that are as abusive, if not worse?

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

I've been called "nutty as a fruit cake", many times. So I thought I'd make one.

It's #Glutenfree and #SugarFree.

Tastes very sweet, despite no added sugar, and the texture is quite dense. Which is how I like it.

Def make it again.

The recipe is here 👇.

Since I came out of hospital in June, I haven't been able to make this bread (👇). Keeps going flat or large voids. Today I've started experimenting with the ingredients and reduced the psyllium husk by half. See how it turns out.

Well worth sticking with this one to the end. Should be required viewing.
Objective truths are still out there. It’s just harder than ever to know what they look like.

What’s Up With That?

Last Saturday I woke up to a puddle under the kitchen sink. It appeared to be coming from the main stop tap, so put a bowl inner it. Then noticed a drip from the washing machine cold feed.

Called our plumbing service and immediately the drips stop. They came yesterday and did SFA.

😠😠

Just started watching "Black Doves". First episode was very gay. Looks promising as an action thriller with Kiera Knightly in the lead role. Looking forward to finding out who the Black Doves are working for.

I made my first Christmas Pudding today. #Glutenfree, #Dairyfree, low fat (only olive oil). Can't provide a photo as it's in a pudding basin covered with parchment paper and foil. But here is the recipe.

Or foster dog had been held up in his safe place most of the day bc his mom went out with a friend. I even had to coax him out to eat. He's had a lot of trauma this year, and with my health issues I've been part of that.

I wish he'd come to me when he's feeling a bit down, but he wants his mom.

UK government have mandated by Dec 2026, non wholegrain wheat flour will be fortified with folic acid to help prevent birth neural tube defects (NTDs) in foetuses.

Another stupid idea since everyone gets it, not just pregnant women.
