Ha, yes, maybe that's where I'm going wrong.
I should add years to my age.

I am sending good health wishes.
If there's anything I can do, let me know.

Men telling me I look younger.

Jeremy was a keen cyclist before illness made cycling a two-wheeled bicycle impossible. Through the Wheels4Me scheme, he was able to explore tricycle options & get back to doing what he loves.

Valentine's Day doesn't bother me as a single woman because I've never understood it.
I don't like receiving flowers or mass produced landfill shite.
Ask me what I need,then buy it.
Now that's gonna make me smile.

Roasted vegetables on a homemade pizza with homemade pizza sauce.

Roasted vegetables on a homemade pizza with homemade pizza sauce.

I'm suspicious even thinking it but here goes.
It has been a surprisingly pleasant Monday.
Good things kept happening.
I then used up all my energy making pizza from scratch, but it was worth the exhaustion, tbh.
All made by myself, INCLUDING the sauce.

Thanks.
It's on the list already.
Any others you can think of let me know!

Looking for recommendations on books about neurodiversity?
I'm aiming to build a tiny ND library for my neurodivergent group.

Thank you!

Email the best way to order or?

About | Empty Chairs The story behind Empty Chairs, why it exists, and what to expect.

I'll be hosting an Empty Chairs evening in Walthamstow soon.
Date to be announced but likely to be in a couple of weeks.
I'll post here when confirmed.
Please have a look at the website.
Get involved if you are passionate about community and collective compassion.

I think that's what empties me of joy most days.
The death of collective compassion.
This me, me, me mindset is horrific.

We live in an individualistic world.
Me, me, me shouting about their cars.
A burden of capitalism!
Investment in public transport would surely coax more people out of their cars.
Collective compassion is a rarity.

My car was stolen. Here are six important things I learned Keyless thefts are on the rise and car crime is increasingly organised and high-tech.

1. Don't own a car.
2. Walk and shop locally.
3. Use public transport
4. Rent one when needed.
5. Use trains and buses
6. Cars kill people

I've had the most wonderful words said about me over the past few days.
It was unexpected.
I feel invisible sometimes so this brought all the good feelings.

I'm so angry.
One item I get for my son for his sandwiches has gone up by 15 pence since last week!

Where's the uproar about the rising price of food?!
I tried to do a food shop earlier.
Went to 4 different supermarkets online to compare prices.
It came to Β£50 four meals in total, so I gave up.
I'm hoping by joining a food co-operative, I'll be able to cut back and not be in debt just to eat!

I fixed a bit of broken gutter in the rain this morning if you want to know how my day started.

Also, I've started lying on the floor to regulate my nervous system.

Just step over me.

Currently without heating and hot water and seriously panicking about how much it's going to cost and where I'm going to find the money.
It's all so fucking exhausting.

Looking back over the last few years and my experiences in dating.
Not one man made me feel that he was truly interested in me, or that he was invested in my safety.
The only man who met me where I was at is no longer here.
Emotionally evolved men are rare.
Sad, isn't it?
