I should say reading again. The first time must be 20 years ago when I thought it was wonderful, then the only thing that irritated me was overuse of the word 'also'.

This a BBC series based on Paris Lees autobiography.

What the Guardian thinks.

I just ran out of time. I was out dormousing much of the day and I fell asleep and didn't wake in time to finish writing. I'm trying to continue my latest serial and also working on a new short story. I may do some more tomorrow but no promises, I am quite tired and have a busy week in prospect.

Former judge Dr Victoria McCloud is planning to challenge the UK Supreme Court ruling at the European Court of Human Rights because she like many of us feel it impinges on her freedom and human rights. I support her and wish her well. It annoys me that the government could pass an act and then completely renege on it after twenty years of it sort of working, so they have very seriously affected my human rights and yet still take taxes off me. I would not pee on this government if it caught fire.

See attached link to BBC.

I am very sad to see that the UK supreme court is antitransgender and that that well known overpaid hack, JKRowling has funded this discriminatory finding that will set back transgender rights in the UK for a generation. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what transgender is about. Seeing as the current research suggests we are affected before birth should that have the same definition as cisgendered females. This is political with morons like Rowling not seeing the bigger picture.

Sorry, helped to marshal a group of kids around Arne, we walked about 2.5 miles up and down hills I couldn't even stay awake to drink my cuppa, I am so tired, too tired to write.

I'm going to have a go at a continuation to this story with some glossaries of dance terms I downloaded. Thanks all who commented on parts one and two your encouragement is very helpful. Unfortunately, they don't have a term for a Smudge cat who launched herself off the floor with forepaws patting together as she tried to catch a fruit fly. It looked as if she was saying her prayers in mid-air. It was really quite amusing to watch.

I've been ill all over Christmas and still feel weak and wobbly. I am slowly recovering, and only cough about 25 times a second now. I remind you of a piece I wrote 12 years ago at this time of year, using a character from Bike which still seems to have a charm and humour, if you haven't seen it before I suggest you have a look and enjoy.

The end of the world just got closer.

My kitchen mixer tap has been dripping for some weeks. Yesterday I tried to get the cap off and failed. I went and finished reading a novel instead. Today, with a renewed feeling of intent, I got a selection of screwdrivers and set to. I had bought some washers in the week so hoped I could do the job. I have never been good at plumbing, I'm still not, but it seems mixer taps don't have washers, they have cartridges. I watched a couple of you tube videos to see what I had to do, I then looked on Screwfix site to see how much they were. There are loads.

My daughter was in Cardiff the other day when a woman approached her and handed her a flier about the preservation of woman-only spaces, against transwomen. My daughter quickly scanned it and then gave it back to her saying, "These spaces should be open to all women, however they became so, as they are all women and they are all equal." She said she felt very angry that people should be prejudicial, it annoyed her feminism. I was very proud of her.

It seems transgender children are the easiest target for the self-righteous rightwing parties to target, so it's good to read a positive story for once. It may only be a drop in the ocean of hate that seems to exist these days, but it made me feel glad that someone is trying.Here is a link to the Guardian report:https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/29/tran...
