  • Taxi driver communication adventures

    1. I’m enjoying my spare bedroom. Not that I slept much (it’s 6am) and I can hear neighbour coughing (I’m not wearing earplugs at the moment) but I like the vibe it gives me. It feels like spare bedroom is good for when I feel the need to escape the world a little bit, while…

  • Instagram reciprocity

    Yesterday one of my favourite artists shared a photo of painting that I particularly liked. It does seem to me her technique keeps improving so I liked and commented on it with just one word – ‘amazing’. I really thought it was, you know? For that she liked and commented on one of my latest…

  • My political views (Matt Lodge from Labour party)

    I was waiting for Intensive Team to visit me today to ‘see if I took my meds’ so, as I live in first floor maisonette, I didn’t want to rush to the door for them and decided to leave it open. You see how safe I feel in my flat? Who would want to break…

  • Do British think they are the centre of Universe?

    I had a strange conversation in town today, with a lady who was preparing to sell some Chimney cakes I first became aware of them in Czech Republic, so I thought they were Czech. Now it turned out they are actually Hungarian. Anyway, I thought that lady was Czech or at least knew something about…

  • Effective altruism (in Swindon)

    I’m not sure if I understand the concept correctly but it seems to be about praising people and organisations that do good. I normally complain here about various options of support that seem to be available in the UK, but when one reaches out, it turns out there’s nothing substantial there or even, possibly, the…

  • ‘Be a bit weird’

    Above: me, in the communal area of Applewood, with it’s famous red window. It was 23.15, I was meant to be asleep (hence the eye mask) but somehow ended up listening to Pitbull’s International Love. I can’t believe I’m 44. I’d probably need plastic surgery if I lost all that excess weight, lol! I took…

  • Who called for that ambulance?

    As you may know I got sectioned a few days ago, when I was in my own home, which is against the law in the UK. Unfortunately the same happened when I got sectioned the first time a few years back. I’m now recovering in Swindon hospital. Hospital staff was hinting me it was my…

  • Gossip from psychiatric hospital

    1. It does seem to me that some people imagine psychiatric hospitals as scary places where patients run around naked, hit their heads against walls and need constant restraining. I’ve been in three psychiatric hospitals as a patient, in two different countries, I also visited my dad in one and believe me, most of the…

  • Herd vs lonely

    Ok, so what is the difference between A&E observation unit and a proper mental hospital? Mind you those are very likey to be different for different countries or even hospitals. After I got taken to A&E sometimes last week, I got placed into Observation unit (it didn’t actually state observation is due to bad mental…

  • I’d rather be… in A&E

    Anyway… My mobile is being a bit funny after spending the entire week under my fridge and I’m scared to look at my emails. Otherwise I am not too bad, I suppose. I just had 3 course dinner in Sandalwood Court, Swindon and it’s only been a few hours since I realised that Queen Elizabeth…
