        The growing a good metaphor for me this year, hopefully I blossom too. Dating when you are as ‘unique’ as me won’t be easy, but that is where my mind is traveling to

          We are all unique!! It’s good you’re thinking about the future though and how you’ll navigate it! It is definitely a scary prospect and I applaud you for it!!

    Not 100% sure of my plans this weekend. It’d be nice to finally get the bicycle serviced so I can get out on it again, but I’ve just not found the energy. Been steadily plugging away at other hobbies though, keeping the brain ticking over. I’d like to try to do a bit of woodburning (like, burning a picture into some wood, not just setting fire to a log) but I don’t have a serious plan for what yet

        I just have an old soldering iron! It’s not ideal tool but it does the job. As it is I didn’t get any done this weekend, but I started a sketch that can become one

          Sounds like a good start! I think mine is basically a soldering iron too but you’ve reminded me about it so I should make an attempt!!

    First week off and of course the weathers been rubbish!! Went to see Supergirl tonight! Was quite a good superhero movie! Had a massage mid week, picked my dad up from the airport and going out for dinner tomorrow. Plenty to keep me amused!

      The trailer did look good, Holywood always pulls together a good trailer. And my Dad picks himself up from the airport these days, so he’s a bit easier. Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix this weekend, plus football world cup, and Rugby all day today on STV, so just tons of sport on the telly. And I’ve never been overly massage inclined, and with reports about so many creepy dudes wanting happy endings I don’t think I’m in a rush either

        Oh I love a spa day or a wee massage. It is my absolute favourite treat!! Been watching the world cup and a wee bit wimbledon! Hoping for a Mexico win tonight!! My dad got in at 1 in the morning so I was ‘it’ for picking up!! Supergirl not getting good write ups in the press but I wonder how much of it is because its a female super hero. They never seem to do well!!

          Yeah, some sexist bullshit around that, as you are very correct. Fragile male egos
