I got cancelled on by my therapist tonight, she claimed to have a powercut. In reality she likely did, however I caught myself analysing last week’s session for things that I could have done wrong. I was a bit upset following my Mum’s birthday (the first one without Dad) – I know, so unexpected right?! … Read More
I mean I’m a woman with a public diary. I’ve had this website for a while and I’ve been putting up my private diary entries since 2003… However, it’s not like there are a lot of people still reading this so, what do I wish that every straight person knew about me? I’m not ‘just … Read More
My Dad died last month, on the 22nd April. It was heart failure due to his leukaemia on top of an underlying heart condition, but because the UK is in the middle of lockdown it’s taken this long for us to have a funeral. That and last week there was a point we wondered if … Read More
The worst thing about this Christmas and New Year period has been the absence of my Jellicle Cat. The Imp and family needed her and so we planned it all out. Then of course my Dad got sicker and The Princess demanded a family Christmas. The Jellicle came for a day and did some baking … Read More
In a very real way I am living the life I wanted to as a kid. Sure, if I were to meet my eleven year old self now I’d have to tell her that I didn’t go to Oxford University (and am actually pretty relieved about that) and am not yet a published author (it … Read More

This weekend the Jellicle is away with Imp in Durham and Weasel is moving into his new place so I have taken the weekend to do Mish-things. The first of those things is going to a MtG Midnight Pre-Release in Preston. I’m very excited about it, I hope I manage to stay awake!
Wednesdays are one of my favourite days. I’ve mentioned this before, but today Work was tiring and the relaxation of eating chicken whilst killing zombies with MiL was very appreciated. Three days since my birthday and the world has moved on to other games and circumstances. The Jellicle spent the evening testing out a virtual … Read More
I am still on the most intense emotional rollercoaster. We won, but at great cost. Also The Princess, Britney and Bonsai Kaiju NPC’d! It was so very good. Jellicle, Excellent Lesbian, Bilbo and I stayed up talking, dissecting the event and its resonances, as others gradually went to bed. I’ve never experienced such an emotionally … Read More
The Jellicle and I went to the cinema this afternoon, this morning we hung out with DS Luke who said that The Last Jedi script felt a bit flabby to him. I have to say I agree. When authors or franchises get famous I notice they suddenly lack good editors. Rogue One was awesomely tight, … Read More
