Opening presents in bed is something The Jellicle and I like to do. One of the reasons I was pretty sad about her being ill was not being able to do that, we approximated it though, with FaceTime. Isn’t living in the future fantastic? Mum got me a lovely bag and The Jellicle found me … Read More
Today started with some disappointment for me, I like my birthday, very much and I like making something of it. Some years that has been having a cuppa and cake with DS Luke, always I take it off work and have done my whole adult life. Sometimes I have a full roast dinner with my … Read More
Sometime in 2008 I stopped Dom (Princess Lex’s car – I was driving at the time ) and demanded the Jellicle and/or FJ get out and grab me the rather fantastic bottle I had seen discarded at the recycling point in Hala. The Jellicle moaned and they all laughed at me. I made up a … Read More
I don’t know how it started but FJ and I give each other crème eggs at New Years and we’ve been getting weirdly competitive about it. In a funny way, I mean, not a serious way. It’s some kind of joke the meaning of which or humour in which is tangential non- explainable and just … Read More
I like to wear jewellery, one thing that really cheered me up during the pandemic was wearing jewellery. This bracelet started out life as a tourist trinket for evil eye averting in Greece: At some point during the pandemic I was wearing a pentacle, a St Christopher and this evil eye bracelet to the extent … Read More
(Content Warning mentions therapy and ASD, there’s a frank mention of sex at the end). I’ve written here before, about two or three years into my relationship with The Jellicle about the way I feel love most within a group of interconnected loves. M-i-L has been very grateful in the past that my way of … Read More
(Content Warning – poor mental health, description of a mental break, mention of suicide) I’ve mentioned a few times that I suffered from a mental break last year. They used to be called nervous breakdowns. Technically a doctor can’t say definitively that I did because I didn’t immediately end up in in-patient care. However two … Read More
I admit that the massage diploma has cost an awful lot. I’m pretty poor right now (and The Jellicle is striking a lot this year) and the diploma is a chunk of change. To be fair it’s not the diploma itself that’s the problem it’s the driving and staying overnight that’s a bit much. However, … Read More
(Content Warning – this is pretty grim in case the title doesn’t give that away) In the last ten years I’ve seen three people be run over in Lancaster and thats honestly beginning to feel like a lot. My whole life is beginning to feel like a lot to be quite honest, which is possibly … Read More
Last year I showed some love to The Jellicle Cat because she is one of my favouritest Queer People that I know. The prompt for today is to show some love to a queer person in my life. And frankly I was tempted to just post about The Jellicle Cat again because she’s a wonderful … Read More
