I would like to travel around America Jack Reacher style except by motorbike, living off savings and my wits. Failing that, when I get my bus pass, travel around the UK by bus and write a fictionalised account of my escapades

And one of many reasons why my assault went unreported; the shame, having to tell what happened (what I could remember) to the police, if it made it to trial having my life picked over (pre social media) and it ultimately coming down to my word against theirs. 

I got up in the end, had something to eat and watched a few undemanding videos on YouTube for a while. I went back up to bed and did manage to sleep but I made sure I set an alarm so I didn't sleep in!

Thank you ♥️

I’m far from famous for my fashion sense, but you look fine in your mum’s skirt (were you bending forward to take the picture?) It’s driving me nuts I can’t make out any of the book titles though!

I can’t sleep and I have no idea why. I’ve been through my mental checklist of things that usually are to blame (I can’t sleep in tight clothing, for instance) and I’m good. I’m just a tired, fidgety, annoyed with myself grump who can’t find the one thing I need to drop off 

Maya, I’m sorry this is still happening to you. Remember we all do care about you x

I have a strange urge to see this film, if only to find out how crazy it is...

I’m not particularly fretting about the end of the world, sudden apocalypse style; either running out of meds or pacemaker battery will get me if I survive the initial event. The slow, drawn out end politicians and corporations are likely going to lead us into, probably while telling us we’ve never had it so good,…

If nothing else, when I was a teen working in a medical supplies warehouse, Kylie's was a brand of incontinence pad.

I’ll bet the “Tooth Fairy” is very highly vetted; could you imagine how much one could get for them on the secondary market!!

Hey, you know what they say about tulips from Amsterdam? (Two lips, get it? I'll get my coat....)

To be fair, she doesn’t really have to try too hard at that! She’s currently nestled in my right armpit, something she seems to love doing (maybe she finds my deodorant reassuring?)

We bought a raised baby bath, designed so that you could stand and do everything. Frankly, we were too terrified to use it and freecycled it at the first opportunity to braver souls!

Maya, I’m so sorry for you; that someone would create an account just to do that is incredible and it’s a credit to you that you can rise above it. I know how you feel about Jez and particularly SNS being a safe place; I’ve often opened up on here and had nothing but warmth and support, so I can’t imagine what it must…

I wish I could look this good asleep...

Tat made me laugh, and reminded me of one an ex told me once; her mother told her that the ice cream van only played the music when they’d run out of ice cream.... 

Is Kinja being weird for anyone else (borderline rhetorical question, I know)? All sorts of things are missing on my Kindle, such as stars (Can see the numbers though) and the publish icon when I post. I have to aim where they should be to star/post, plus other stuff is absent. Also, the kitten is running around like…

[shakes treat box]

She (the one with 8 legs) just prowls around her tank, doesn't make any noise or smell. The other one, however....
