🫘 Hello, I used to be Kate. The Erstwhile Kate.

Hi! Lovely to see you! Well, I have recovered from my Twitter addiction so I will continue to be relatively quiet.

Sorry - didn't mean to blurt all that out! Am glad your daughter has settled into secondary school!

Your fam is North Island, yeah? Paul has been back to DN recently as his Mum moved into hospital care. It was hard for him since she's really slipping now. See your family while you can. xx

A black and white dog wrapped in a blanket on a purple couch with a cushion with the picture of a very similar looking dog peeping over the blanket at the back.

Kelpie with his head right on top of the black and white dog. We are not sure whether it is affection or oppression.

Still being weird.

A Kelpie dog sitting next to a black and white dog of indeterminate breed lying wrapped in a blanket on a purple couch. There's a lot of rubbish in the background. Well, clutter really.

These weirdos

Thirtieth next year! Paul wants to travel more.

She's not out of pain yet. The extent of it was extraordinary. It was on her bladder, kidneys, bowel, sciatic nerve and her pouch of Douglas was "obliterated", to quote. She had to take a year leave without pay. But it's a huge relief that she's no longer in a wheelchair.

😂😂😂 last notification here.

Well, my youngest had her insides bonded together with endometriosis and nobody took it seriously until she was in such pain she couldn't walk, but she's had it all scraped off now and is a lot improved. Not totally, since it was very extensive, but somewhat better.

Hi all. I just bothered logging in. How is life? I mean aside from the impending collapse of civilisation and all.

I stand with the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people, the original custodians of the ACT and all First People of Australia. The theft of land, destruction of families and oppression, overt and covert racism, cultural and physical violence, continue to make life hell for Indigenous people in Australia.

Damn

Look that can only be for the best. I am convinced it was a dreadful idea.

Elon wasn't giving a sieg heil. As you can tell from the look on his face, it was a galvanic response to a shorting intra-anal biohack pod.

Hey friends, how easy is it to do a denial of service attack?

I wish! I had a tree full of royal Gala apples until the Cox's Orange pippin next to it died FM a fungal disease, andy daughter decided the gala had it too, and decided to top it back a lot :( no persimmons this year either.

I've only got five as yet. The rest are coming, lol!

I kind of regret that all the batshit insane people are magats.

Oh no, here comes zucchini season...

Oh and endo is the worst. One of my son's curses that lifted with transition was endo.

Thanks Marcus. Really do hope we get answers soon.

We've been to emergency 3 times since Dec3 and a good GP twice, two ultrasounds and CT. Waiting on gastroenterology now. She had an ovarian cyst which was a red herring. It's been hideous.

(boom boom!)

I always have! :)

Lol, Vivid is a sea of phones!

Apologies to anyone I've stalked around the galleries

I take pictures of people taking pictures at exhibitions. It's a habit I've had for years.

Well we'll definitely hunt some down. Crohn's is one of the possible causes that has been suggested. It sounds like a vile condition.

Thanks - I'll look into it. She's been on obstruction clearing levels of laxative since Dec 3. It's not ideal...

The fucking slippery elm powder predates my daughter by a decade, at least. I wonder whether it tastes like the 80s?
