I think she makes a chicken curry, but instead of chicken pieces, uses the dinosaurs. Also Lio recommended these to me, but I feel too mean getting them when my dinosaur-loving fiancée wouldn't be able to have them (gluten)!

Great news! I hope you'll have a reason for a genuine smile today(tomorrow?) too :)

It was one of those things where it took me around a month to do a task that took about half an hour to get done. An important/urgent one too.

Ahh this makes so much more sense now. I feel sorry for the gluten people, why should you have to miss out on all the fun, dinosaur shaped food? Perhaps there's a gap in the market there.

Today:

- Good first day back at work after a week off.
- Listened to some awesome music from my desk because no one else was in the office.
- Had a moment of gratitude and said 'I love you' out loud whilst picturing all the lovely people in my head like a giant game of Guess Who, minus the guessing part.
- Enjoyed a vegan sausage roll from Greggs at lunchtime. Best pound I ever spent.



Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world awaits in darkness for the light that is you.

In fairness, Morissons do dinosaur gluten free pasta, so that's a big hit in this house!

Btw, I see you've also been sampling the vegan sausage roll- are you a secret member of the ve-gang?

Today:
- got myself out of bed at a more sensible time and felt better for it
- productive morning
- managed to catch the bin cleaning people as they cleaned the neighbours' bins so we could sign up to their service
- playing the Da Vinci code board game, even if I lost spectacularly
- sending Kiran srs bsns mathematical content
- relaxing in front of the TV

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you wish to make.

- slightly improved sleep
- finding more things to apply to
- getting a job interview apparently (mixed feelings, but hey-ho, at least I seem to be more employable than I thought!)
- feeling like I got my priorities slightly more sorted/clearer
- finding out my parcel is just delayed rather than lost
- watching The Simpsons

Your super detection skills are coming to the fore. I am about 90% vegan so I'm almost there, however I should also point out that I've been trying to fully transition for the best part of 10 years now... there's hope for me yet! Are you a fully fledged member yourself?

Jenna was right about the dinosaur curry, and hooray for another vegan type person… do you like egg mayo?

- went to my first volunteer shift and everyone was lovely
- saw my dad after a couple of weeks
- bolognese wrap!
- told the facilitator of the group I’m attending something and she didn’t make a fuss
- Jenna mail made me laugh

You're at risk of being kicked out of the ve-gang (I decided I'm in charge!) if you keep proselytizing your wretched egg mayo!!!

I think I’m probably in charge tbh.

Sorry to confess this but even when I did eat dairy I absolutely hated egg mayo. It made buying sandwiches in the supermarket very difficult, as that's basically all they'd have on offer for veggies!

Are there many other vegans knocking about here?

My things for today are:

- Had a really lovely breakfast tea catch up with a colleague. We smiled and laughed a lot about silly memes.
- I did another clothes wash, and as it's not raining, it's now drying on the balcony. Essence of bus fumes is my absolute fave of a scent.
- Dealt with a Royal Mail related issue very calmly.

today

- got to hang with Jodie, always a pleasure <3
- Kiran saying 'I am SO straight' repeatedly when looking at JPEGs of a certain gentleman ;)
- TWO iced coffees, one for me, one for Lorna apparently *shrugs*
- got the darned interview clothes sorted!
- wasn't anxious in any of my social interactions today, including when I set off the alarm in a shop which just proves my theory that I do in fact *not* have social anxiety
-accidentally was prepared for when my period randomly started in Oxford Street and just about avoided a bloody disaster
- Kiran enjoying when I told her my hole was bleeding
- Kiran being impressed by my imagination/story building capabilities
- Kiran in general tbh

Ah for context they were about 8 ish and 5 ish and their adult didn't deem them skilful (one l, really?) to ride it yet so I didn't want to steal their thunder by tagging along and showing them up! :P

Seeing some of the ve-gang from here actually!

I'm veggie (again, after I ate those chicken nuggets which we shall not speak of Lana!) because I like cheese, not the vegan kind, that ISN'T cheese.

Genuine statement: I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not because I genuinely love the smell of exhaust fumes, although probably not on my clothes though.... yeah I get you now.
