My wonderful fiance, who is having a pretty shitty time of it at work currently, took it upon herself to have Saga Volume 6 waiting on doorstep when i got home yesterday!

We've a dinner tonight at a wonderful restaurant, and tomorrow we celebrate a year of being engaged.

Love her to bits, and she is the best thing in my life.

... and you post this in the 'life is sometimes sort of okay ...' thread? Why not the 'Drokking fantastic' thread? I mean, come on! Hope you sorted her out a massive bunch of flowers lad!

And they say romance is dead...

Flowers me arse. A devilishly good satay, a thorough trouncing at the board game of her choice followed by a back-rub with benefits, that's the way to a woman's heart. No? Just my one?

Speaking as we were of romance, my salvaged Mac Book Pro turns on! So far it looks like the HDD is knackered (have plenty of those lying about), and the screen surround cracked from what looks like a bad face-down fall, but other than that there's no signs from the screws that anyone has even tried to fix it. Add to that it's actually Penryn Core Duo 2 from 2008, and I'm a happing camper. Once this ghastly nigh shift is over, I'll be all over it. Now, where do we keep the bamboo skewers...

A nice job it is too, Flip. You did well getting it sorted within the year, if my family's appalling record is anything to go by!

The grandchildren are coming over on Saturday and to them I'm not a disabled, late middle-aged, deaf bloke, I'm just Grandpops and it's bloody marvellous!!

That's brilliant Tankie!

Filippo, looks good, hope you and yours are doing OK.

I'm now officially one and a half months into the waiting list to be seen at Edinburgh's Gender Identity Clinic. But...the waiting list is at least ten months long, and that's one of the shortest Gender Clinic waiting lists in Britain.

Hawkmumbler · 19 July, 2016, 06:24:58 PM

I'm so happy for you Taryn!

ZenArcade · 19 July, 2016, 06:27:11 PM

Good stuff Taryn. Z

Bollocks, my kids have the same view. What will my grandchildren think?
