The man on the radio is talking to us from Verona ... he's practicing his Italian but there's no sign of Robert de Niro waiting. Weatherwise it's back to wearing jumper, jumper, cardigan, though there could be sunshine later. The traffic lady is probably taking time out at a service station in the middle of nowhere with the chef on the radio ... they're both letting time tick til the man on the radio returns.

Today's groaner: why do toucans dance in pairs? ... because two toucans can can-can better than one toucan can ;-D badoom tish ... here all week!!

Biggest Dog was at the vets yesterday after a sleepless night for us both. Dementia has crept in and made a home and is closing the windows on her sight. Much comforting is needed at night. However, she remains indomitable, in possession of much energy and is the one who still leads the charge when the postman calls. Long may she continue, for who else will keep the Hairy Horde in line, turn cardboard into shreds and scatter the pigeons onto the telegraph poles? Beautiful Biggest Dog.

Friday, Friday, Friday and the coffee is coming cup after cup after cup ...

Hi let me introduce myself

I’m Abi

I’m 23.

I live in the uk.

I have congenital nystagmus (from birth, involuntary movement of the eyes).

I got the official paperwork done when I was 7 but have been wearing glasses since I was 10 months old (I have the hospital records of that eye test).

I am going into first year having done a foundation year last year.

I use a symbol cane not a long cane and people constantly confuse it for a long cane or ignore it. One lady where I volunteer thought it was a pointer .

When I’m able I volunteer with English heritage at a local site

Unlike HIV living in an actual genuine person(if you want a deep dive on that mess, well there’s YouTube videos on the topic)

I’m in and out of different doctors offices for different things some where I’m attending uni and some where I grew up cos I’m fairly local but moved into dorms for independence.

blind werewolf/gnoll/doglike beastfolk who compensates for their lack of sight with their senses of smell and hearing, but struggle to deal with indoor spaces with lots of things to bump into

I figure they'd deal with it the same way anyone would. They'd get to know their home environments well, and would tackle new environments in a way that felt most comfortable to them

My eyes have fucked up yet again! Like I said they would. But do the eye clinic care? No. Why else would they give me a appointment in October when I was suppose to be seen in April??? That’s 6 months for fucks sake.

Every single time they do this. Addenbrooke’s Hospital doesn’t know it’s head from its arsehole. They fuck me about constantly. But when I go to complain to the patient liaison service I get told I can’t because “it hasn’t happened yet”.

I think you’ll find it has happened now. So I’ll try make the complaint again. I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’m done being fucked over.

I’m fucking DONE!!!!

Hereditary retinal dystrophy: living with the diagnosis

Hereditary retinal dystrophy: living with the diagnosis

By Shaini Saravanamuthu, as told to Kara Mayer Robinson When I found out I have retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a form of hereditary retinal dystrophy, I was shocked. No one in my family has vision problems. I had some problems with my vision, but I thought it was because of poor lighting or simply because eyes weren’t meant to see well in the dark. After my diagnosis, my struggle to see at night made…

RE: Ludovica's girlfriend, I've been picturing her like my childhood dog. A solid coat might look nice against Ludovica's spots. My old girl had black fur with a strong brown undertone. She was a rescue (and the sweetest, calmest lady), but according to a DNA test (which I know aren't the most reliable) she was a Labrador Retriever / American Staffordshire Terrier / Chinese Shar Pei mix. She just passed recently. I guess that might be part of the reason I have this strong mental image. Hope you don't mind me sharing!

do you guys ever think that, when Arthur thought Daniel died, part of why it stung so bad, was because he never got to actually see him again?

he spoke to him, he was in his presence, but he didn’t see him. Daniel may have seen Arthur, but Arthur didn’t see Daniel. John saw Daniel. do you think, ever, Arthur ached just to actually see the people he knew and loved again?

though, do you also think, part of him was thankful for the blindness? he never had to see Parker’s body, the man he’d known and cared about for so long. he doesn’t have to remember the faces of people he left behind, because he never actually saw them. he doesn’t have to be haunted with the memory of how Oscar looked at him when calling him his purpose. or the memory of how Noel would’ve listened to and looked at him with such understanding. he doesn’t have to remember how any of them smiled, or how they looked at their worst. Whether that be when they sat, depressed at a bar, or when on the brink of death

sure, they can haunt him in other ways. but at least their faces can’t be attached to it. not like Daniel’s. not like Bella’s. not like Parker’s. not like Faroe’s

Just so you know a "gay" person coming out as trans and straight isn't a downgrade! It's something to be celebrated because the straight trans person in question is being their happiest and most authentic self and that's pretty fucking great

After Mollymauk sacrificed himself to save the Mighty Nein. After he tore himself apart at the seams to end both himself and Lucien--Lucien, who is also starting to hate the horror he's become, who is nothing but hurting and exhausted at the end, who just wants to finally rest when Molly asks if he's tired--after all that. Do you think Caleb dreads the day Kingsley tries to sacrifice himself to save the Nein? A blood hunter who always gives every last drop of blood for the people he loves?

Do you think Caleb's heart always aches when he sees Kingsley, that he ever sees that last fatal scar, and remembers Tealeaf lying lifeless and bloodied and naked in his arms? Caleb feeling hopeless and defeated for the very first time when thinks he's lost Mollymauk--when his spell fails, when all his magic isn't enough, when he pours his whole heart and soul into this desperate wish to heal, and he can still do nothing to save Molly's shattered soul.

Do you think, when he calls King his stray with such fondness, tells him to stick with the Nein and they'll always take care of him--that he always tries to keep Tealeaf close, whenever his Circus Man starts to pull away and close himself off? That Caleb will always be especially protective of Kingsley, swearing to himself that he won't lose him again?

Do you think he keeps practicing that resurrection ritual? Holding his lucky rock in his hand, going over all the words he wants to say, preparing for an offering just in case? Caleb Widogast knew defeat once, but never again. This time, he'll save him--

Every Universe

"I love you." She uttered, barely above a whisper. "I love you in every universe." "Do we end up together in every universe?" He asked. "No," She replied, and the painful memories of those life times flashed behind her beautiful eyes as she reflected to the 'back then's. Yet, she smiled, "But I love you anyway, how could I not? My soul yearns for you, even before it had come to know you. It remembers, I remember." "Does it hurt?" She was silent for a moment, "A lifetime without you hurts more then a lifetime when we are not together." "I love you." He blurts out unthinkingly, desperate. He reaches out for her hand, taking it and holds it in both hands in a grounding grip. She looked down at their hands and smiled, relishing in the bitter sweetness. "I know." She confesses quietly. She held his hand tightly, trying to ignore the buzzing within her body- threatening to tear her apart atom by atom. "But you aren't mine. Not this time."
