    1. Me and The Friend went on a trip to Cirencester today. Cirencester is a beautiful medieval town around an hour on the bus from Swindon. I’d really recommend it for you to visit. Make sure you’ll have a look at the cathedral when you are there. There are also loads of places to eat…

  • Eat regular meals and masturbate

    1. The Friend asked me a few days ago not to comment on my blog on what she says or does other than something very general like where we went for a trip. It was quite difficult for me to accept that but it quickly became obvious that I have no choice but to get…

  • Taxi driver’s wife

    I didn’t post for a couple of days because The Friend is here and she’s keeping me busy. That is a quick update: 1. Two days ago I did my last shift in that medium size care home in a village near Swindon. I was actually offered some more shifts but decided I have to…

  • Wearing a dress to the park

    Over a week ago I had that conversation with a friend over Facebook messenger (not The Friend who is coming to visit, but a different one), we were just chatting about the weather and our plans for the day. It was very hot in here, although not unbearable, at least not for me. At some…

  • Life is too short to be normal

    I saw the above sentence yesterday and I liked it so much that I decided to make a blog post out of it. I must say it certainly feels like that to me now: after everything that has been happening I’m thinking, why would I be normal if other people around me are not? I…

  • Can’t be bothered

    1. It’s supposed to be the hottest day on record in the UK today, we can expect temperatures up to 42C. That is too hot even for me. I hope this is the only reason I can’t be bothered to do anything. Although I have plans to make cold beetroot soup today, Polish speciality for…

  • Her name was Absentia so she wasn’t there

    1. On Friday morning I finally got an email regarding my occupational health assessment for the permanent job I was offered a few weeks ago. I don’t think I mentioned about this delay on the blog, but never mind. The email was from Absentia Coordinator, which I guess explains everything at least up to a…

  • Thinking in procedures

    A few days ago I came for a shift to a care home I never was in before. The front door was open and led to a little waiting area with a ring bell for staff and locked door to the actual care home. Great idea, I thought, especially when it’s raining. I rang the…

  • How to make decisions when ‘Magda shaped hole’ is not available

    Just to remind you: ‘Magda shaped hole’ is a situation where I have to make a decision, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a big one, but I’m unable to weight my options, which happens quite often, unfortunately. What I then tend to do is, I rely on information from the environment, that means…

  • Personal hygiene and society expectations

    You know, I sometimes feel as if I’d like to live in a society where being ‘clean enough’ is considered ok. I am aware some autistic people have problems with taking showers or baths, it is often said it’s due to sensory issues, but I wonder whether there’s anything else behind that. I actually like…
