Today I signed a mortgage and a contract to instal solar. No guts, no glory - right?

Dinner is served, milady. Your entree this evening is pureed salmon and coconut oil with a soupΓ§on of thyroid medication. Your main is tuna and prawns in broth with a little rice and carrots, and to finish we have your favourite: a splash of lactose-free milk.

Should you require a snack at any time, please help yourself to the nibbles on the plate under the chair - with the compliments of the house. #catsOfMastodon

I have been led astray by the ubiquitous solar ads, which made it seem inexpensive to instal. Apparently, in the real world, anything non-dodgy is going to cost a substantial sum. #decisionsdecisions

Maybe I don't need a car?

Since my legs became so dodgy I haven't driven much anyway. I'm nervous of my control. And I am responsible only for myself.

I have a scooter that gets me comfortably to anywhere within 2ks, bus & train access and I take Ubers if I go any further. Is it really worth the struggle to learn to use hand controls and get the car modified if I don't really need it? Not to mention the capital tied up in the car and the ongoing costs from my pension.

I'm leaning towards No.

I really should go have a shower. But the cat wants a cuddle, and who am I to decline?

I can't take a picture now as I am immobilised except for one arm, but old picture included for cat tax. #cats

Platform 1 at 6:12am has a particular kind of light. Not the golden, romantic light of postcard mornings, but the thin, undecided light that hasn’t committed to being day yet. The sky is often the [...]
