  • So apparently my iron is low so I need to get on the supplements and also start eating a bit more medicinal red meat. I’m not a vegetarian any more but left to my own devices i can go a long time without (much) meat. So I have some stewing steak defrosting but I can’t decide between a chilli con carne or an old fashioned stew (both instant pot so it doesn’t heat up the place too much)…leaning towards the chilli…

    Anyone got any good recipes?




  • severance spoilers and health issues

    In many ways my love for severance is about the absolutely bonkers show it is, but last ep was different.

    That depiction of IVF and miscarriage. The awkwardness of the waiting room. The scene in the bathroom. The dirty grout and the fact the blood was the right colour. The lack of words. And the fact that the post episode discussion on Reddit had so many who knew this was a correct depiction and then some lovely gentle conversations and even questions about “I’ve also wanted to know if this is what it’s like for others”. It reminded me of going through that stuff and how it was so hard to be open about it but also there was this … shared secret thing - so many women who quietly said “me too”, younger family members pulling me aside quietly for advice and to share their stories.

    I dunno what I even want to share here, just that it’s nice when someone somewhere takes the time to depict this stuff with humanity. That’s what art is for I guess.
