I really wanted to write a wee mini-roll post today. For a while now I've been thrashing about in the murky seas of Twitter, now the unenigmatic "X", as well as the pristine, sanitised swimming pool that is Zuck's Threads, so it seemed a good time to do an update. Then PEM hit. I mean,… Continue reading Mini-Roll: PEM, plans and the cut-and-paste Press
Things are looking up. Boris de Piffle Johnson is no longer an MP, his US doppelganger appears to be in deeper water than the Mariana trench and, most importantly, in my world at least, my baseline has shifted back in the right direction. Now, I am not saying those things are related, but I will… Continue reading Mini-Roll:Things can only get…
M.E. Life, politics and social angst The posts below are now an archive. Latest entries for what is now Mini-roll 2.0 can be found in Latest Work. Each entry is usually no more than 2-3 mins to read. What is a mini-roll? Inspired by the UK "mini" Budget, I'm starting a series of "mini" blog… Continue reading Mini-roll
It's about Time Dear M.E. Ally This blog post is for you, and it's about Time. Time as something finite, something precious and something unequally distributed amongst us, especially pwME. (The abbreviation pwME is a shorthand for people with M.E. used on socials which I will be using here). Settle in as it’s long and… Continue reading Dear M.E. Ally
We have moved today from one amazing city to another. My favourite city in fact. Hamburg. This city has everything. Great cafes and bars, a beautiful lake spotted with places to buy delicious German food and Alsterwasser (Hamburg's version of Shandy), striking docks and beach clubs. Yes beach clubs, with sand, and an incredibly chilled… Continue reading So close
Am sure to those of you following this story that taking time out just before starting a shop seems a bit odd but I am putting it down to the Universe's quirky sense of timing. Because I am in Berlin. A place I've wanted to visit for a very long time and after a number… Continue reading And relax
Sleep. My crystals whispered to me today echoed by the universe. Rebalance. Renew. Regenerate. After a morning of making new connections in the material world in terms of finding space and like minded supporters i am spending the rest of the day making new connections in the ethereal. Maybe I'll find some space there too.… Continue reading Rest and reach out
I woke up with a rather tired and achy body today. I may have overdone things a wee bit at the weekend after spending all day out walking around town on Saturday and most of the day wedding planning on Sunday. It also occured to me that since starting this new life I haven't given… Continue reading Crystallising down-time
I am overflowing with the excitement of possibilities today. Full on babbling brook. A quick look at my chart and I can see a key couple of planets are actively encouraging my outpouring. Transit Venus is almost exactly conjunct my natal Mars, my chart ruler, and their creative collaboration is well and truly stoking the… Continue reading A date with Venus
Looks like I needn't have worried about temptation today. My body had other plans. Be still day. This used to be what I would call one of my M.E "bad" days. I wake up feeling like I've had no sleep or rather reverse sleep. That is, every minute asleep has drained me further. Sometimes a… Continue reading Still learning
