Filofax redux
10 years ago I had a Filofax. A bit of green paper from it is what I first wrote my phone number on for Will, and he still keeps the same bit of paper in his wallet, even though the number itself has long ceased to exist. It was...
Big brain time
I’ve been doing a lot of lying down for the past couple of days because, of all things, I managed to pull my urethral sphincter. How did I do it? I was laughing at something the cat did, and suddenly, pain. I didn’t even pee but apparently my urethra...
Farewell Sweet Bee
You were a tiny sausage-shaped angel and I truly miss you. I hope we can meet again one day....
Musings on Civil Defence sirens

Setting up an IMPROVED Giant Land Snail tank
I wrote a prior post about setting up a snail tank, just under a year ago, that gets a fair bit of traffic, so I thought I would write an updated version now that I have gotten a proper glass tank for Jupiter. The original post is more about...
How an app helped to pay for my wedding
I’ve been meaning to write this post since October, but as usual, life got in the way. To cut to the chase, I want to tell you about something alarmingly simple called Plum. Now, it’s not a secret that my financial situation is not amazing. I live on...
Pictures of my gross hand
If you’re into that sort of thing. I’ve got gradually better at looking at it without completely freaking out. Today is the first day that the top of the knuckle hasn’t split and bled when the old dressing was taken off. It did bleed earlier in the day however,...
