A standing renovation

[hatmandu]

Hello world. I haven't written here since April, apart from a one-liner on my birthday to announce the death of our cat. It's been that sort of a summer. I can't remember a tougher, more challenging year, with a crazy mixture of masses of work, and often nowhere to do it from: after leaving Kidlington in June, we lived in a mobile home park for

Congrats on swish new house and funky wood burner! How am I? Well, I've just had three of our main funding streams cut, one of them entirely, so I'm pretty pissed off. How are you?

[hatmandu]

Um, am really sorry to hear that. Hope things don't turn out too disastrously.

[lisekit]

Seriously, the way things are going the next ten years are going to be a fucking disaster (not just for me, either). If I meet anyone who voted these shits into power, I'm going to punch them in the face.

[hatmandu]

Not me.

[lisekit]

Nah, I didn't think it would be you. Funny, nobody seems to be admitting to it at the moment.

Erm, only the LD shits...tee hee you can't reach me. That's the second punch in the face I've apparently avoided by being here.

[lisekit]

That's OK, they tricked me too. I think if I meet any of them, I'm going to punch them in the face as well.

Who else is trying to punch you?

Abi, apparently- similar reason, try pregnancy & veggie/veganism

[lisekit]

Oh, that thing. Well, there are plenty of idiots out there who will try to give you uninformed opinions about anything. FWIW I think it *is* possible to do healthy pregnancy on a vegan diet but you would need to do it *very* carefully and sometimes it's just easier to cram your face with fish instead.

(That is to say, the kind of people that walk up to you in the street and tell you what you should be eating when pregnant tend to be uninformed idiots. I always have time for informed commentary.)
