A quick selfie from the café bar area in my local Travelodge, my home away from home. ❤️
This place has saved me so many times, it feels like, when I’ve needed a homely place to stay in over Christmas/New Year.
2016, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024 and this year too.
Happy days!!

Here, I fixed their sign 😂
This place needs a change of management.
To call out social workers on an Autistic person just for spending a bit of time in the community area, when that person has been MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS, is nothing short of disgraceful.
This is 2025, not 1925, you idiots.

This is the most fired-up I’ve felt going into a new year for a very long time, and it’s something I’m hoping I can keep it up.
If there’s one thing I’ve always been guilty of so far, it’s been being too nice. Which has led many to underestimate my inner strength and my general value.
No more! 👊😂😝🙂🙏

One thing which never fails to annoy me - increasingly over time, TBH - is how, in this(UK) country and culture, people are so relatively passive-aggressive and rude, even to those they should appreciate.
I seem to have come across a disproportionate number of those clowns.
In 2026 that’ll change! 👊

This time - the strange time between Christmas and New Year which we’ll soon be leaving - always strikes me as a time of reflection, more than anything else.
(Especially this year, as I lost two very good friends between Christmas and NY last year, and this is the first anniversary 💔💔)
A sad time 😢🙏

A good example of what I start my day with on a typical day chilling in the Travelodge. (Usually I get Irn Bru but today I’ve changed it up for Pepsi.)
I guess it’s a liquid breakfast as opposed to a liquid lunch. Although at just after 3PM, that might be an all day liquid breakfast! LOL!
#HappyDays

So I’ve been spending the last few days and nights in my local Travelodge, taking my usual Christmas/New Year break.
I love this place!! My home away from home. Staying here brings a whole new meaning to “Happy Holidays”!
My usual holiday destination without even leaving Dundee!

Great positive night at Andy’s Man Club tonight. Really enjoyed it, was a good laugh at times, very powerful in a relatable way at others, but was always very positive.
At the end of the night, the cherry on top was being told that I’ve been making personal progress and fitting in well! Woohoo!! 🙂🙂🙂

One thing I detest about living in this northern latitude is the long, cold, damp, dark winters.
Last night we had wind, rain(Which came on JUST as I headed out!!) and 3°C.
Anyone who seriously says there’s no such thing as bad weather, and there are only bad clothing choices, can fuck right off! 😝

Love me a pizza! This is my munch tonight(Like most nights right now 😂)!
Mozzarella sticks, Tango and bananas are welcome too BTW 😝
#Pizza #HappyDays #Banana #Tango #Nom #ThisShitIsBananas #Woohoo ✌️

Thoroughly enjoyed tonight, it reminded me that true friends are like gold dust… All I can say!!
Now, I’m looking to start preparing myself for what I hope will be a much more socially active 2026, with late 2025 acting as a ramp up to it.
As long as life doesn’t throw anymore curveballs at me!! 😝😂🙂

Really enjoying the sense of freedom which BlueSky gives me right now. The sense of liberation is amplified because so far, amazingly few people who I know are on it. So, I can say what I think, when I think it, without fear of offending snowflakes!
(Not that I know many but some FOFs are)
Get in!!

First post I’ve made on the BlueSky app.
Really liking loads of things about this site already! The fact that BlueSky allows longer posts than X, that it appears so friendly and welcoming, and that it’s put a cute lil “Sun” emoji up beside my username, are just some early examples so far!
#Sweetness

Awesome night tonight, spent with the best people 🙏🔥🙏
Sometimes it really is quality over quantity! 💙

What’s up indeed BlueSky?! How you doin!! 😂
Nice to be here!
