A word of warning, this post may veer into the self-congratulatory. Feel free to comment appropriately. Earlier I was explaining to someone that I had been diagnosed with my fourth chronic illness. They reacted. My inner voice as they reacted was basically saying “calm down it’s not a tragedy.” I suspect their emotional response was … Read More

I recently joined Noom because I’m four stone overweight. Last time I needed to lose weight I did it mostly by myself and via willpower. This time around I’m allergic to raw fruit and vegetables (technically I was last time I just didn’t know it…) and have chronic pain and fatigue. My willpower is more … Read More
My Mother thinks I’m incredibly sad, in the opposite of cool sense of that word. She called today and I told her I was having Eurovision drinks. I could hear her and her inner musician roll her eyes over the phone. My Mum likes my friends with ‘Edge’, to say she likes my Depressed, Suicidal … Read More
I have, I think, blogged about Neil Gaiman before. Unfortunately he seems to have been in the bundle of the year that this blog is missing. Generally I think of him as the poor man’s Alan Moore, he never quite goes far enough for me and has the very Stephen King habit of making sure … Read More

So, world creation is my jam, I mean it really is. There is nothing I like better than creating my own world that fits together except perhaps being a part of the creation of a world with other people. That is exactly what we are doing here. People are enthusiastic and full of ideas and … Read More
I like to travel alone, over the years I’ve headed out with others, FJ, Jellicle, Imp, Weasel to name a few, but really what I like to do is just hop onto a road and see where it takes me. Today is almost the complete opposite of that. Today I’m taking eleven LURPS members (twelve … Read More
Finally I’m done with the practicalities of being Live Rep. I decided to post one final message to the refs, after consultation with the Jellicle and DS Luke, this is what I came up with: I’m about to leave this conversation so a couple of things before I go. First I want to say Thankyou … Read More
I admit it, I get irritated by the phrase ‘I feel so blessed’. It gets my hackles up and I associate it with the sort of upper middle class showing off of round robin Christmas letters. The sort of ‘Christians’ who don’t seem to have taken on board the whole rich man heaven camel eye … Read More
