  • I agree with every word you said El on the women and trans issue.  Women deserve male free spaces, however that male identifies.

    Thanks Staffordia, I think many people feel the same way, and there will be others that dont.  I believe it's the same for men as well, Mr El and I have been on nights out with gender neutral toilets and had women walk past him whilst he was using the facilities, he felt very uncomfortable and we left the place, I can totally understand why he felt like that

    thankfully it's been not too bad here beanie, how has it been up your way ? 

    Didnt get to sleep till nearly 1am today ahm knackered. Back to work though, I'm taking healthy food to work with me. 

     I think I have allergies, have thought this for a while but seem to be carrying on regardless until it happens again and I remember, was mummy sitting on Saturday, we had ice cream, sweets and some baileys so lots of milk based products. My breathing has been terrible since. 

    Went for a walk at a local country park yesterday and really struggled with my breathing, havnt been right since. 

    So milk based products are out for the foreseeable future just incase

    I very rarely eat cows milk products, El, and if I do there's often some sort of reaction.  I'm lucky I can still eat sheep/goat products, but I get reactions even with them if I eat too much.  Such a balancing act!  It's why I fall back on cashew nuts  cooked with my past as my protein, sometimes.

    Hope the work goes well today.

  • Hope you're feeling better El. I have sympathy with the car issues- we spent so much money over the years on Mr F's classic cars. Would Mr E agree to getting rid of the old car once established the new car is more reliable?
    I love audible too- listen to lots of books on my commute. The new Pratchett recordings are great, although I didn't really gel with some of the earlier ones. I also loved Rebecca (think it works better read aloud for some reason) and the Robert Galbraith books. Lots of popular science as well/
