The Way We Heard. Love was All Around Us again.

Hi Jenny, I'm getting
Posted on Sat, 20 Jun 2026
Hi Jenny, I'm getting immunotherapy. My dad died in six weeks. But that was thirty years ago. It was pretty much palliative care then. New treatments offer much better odds. The NHS and Macmillan nurses are great and the nurse to staff ratio is...

It saddens me to hear
Posted on Thu, 09 Jul 2026
It saddens me to hear refugees used as bait for the baiting of evil, small-minded morons. Trump, Farage, Mosley, Hitler. A fag paper of difference between them.

glaze (or gaze) both work
Posted on Wed, 15 Apr 2026
glaze (or gaze) both work equally? But some are more equal than others. I suspect we give are the suspects we get. Brain rot has a lot to answer for. I'm not really English. More alienish.

I used to get hot flushes
Posted on Thu, 28 Mar 2024

tragic, like you I don't have
