Too old to rock and roll, too young to die. Vegan and anarchism curious.

Likes permaculture, infosec, Tranmere Rovers, and whatever my current enthusiasm is.

Officially not right in the noggin #ʘ‿ʘ

I'm an idiot.

My appointment for an ultrasound scan was at 10:15, not 12:20. Good job I rang them rather than face a two hour round trip for nothing.

I've rearranged for in six weeks time. In the meantime I'll get on with the strength training anyway and see if anything pops out...

Had the most progressive discussion locally the other day. It was with my bank because I was overdrawn and they wanted a chat.

It ended up with my account manager, who lives locally, basically fist pumping with me over the phone and agreeing that it's not worth destroying yourself for the man.

I might have mentioned this before, but I was an odd fish as a child*. Mum thought I was a bit thick because I didn't start reading aged one like my elder sister. I actually remember thinking those stupid Janet and John books were just an annoying waste of my time. Literally the first book I ever read was Robin Hood, aged four, and I just never stopped for a decade. I was allergic to stuff that was transparently condescending to kids.

If anyone else was similarly odd, I'm guessing I'll find them here.

* Yes, I know I'm not exactly normal as an adult either.
