Just took a quick look at #Bluesky in case I would have the surprise to find people from the #PKU community.

Answer: Nah.

At least, Bluesky would have been a better choice than anything related to #Meta or even #Twitter, but no. There's no movement.

I have pretty much left Twitter, I'm progressively leaving Instagram and I do everything I can to encourage people to subscribe to my blog so they can stop relying on Facebook.

I forgot to share the good news!

The last result was 413umol/L - looks like creating had little effect on my phe levels. (Well, my levels before were 300, so could be? But before that it was 481 and 556, so… 🤷‍♀️)

Took my bike to Halfords on 12th March to get it repaired.

They kept saying it would be repaired, but they never got back to me.

I had to chase them so many times just to get the story that the supplier said nothing to them. I can believe that, but why they never bothered chasing it up when that was their own self-imposed deadline is beyond me.

Eventually yesterday I asked to my bike back as they were never going to fix the issue.

April is #Stress Awareness Month which means it is obviously the best time to try something new 🤣 So...I'm launching a #KickStarter for my new book #TheRedHatStories this weekend.

These stories take place above and below the streets of #London. They explore the connection between strangers, the assumptions we make, and how overlooked encounters have unforeseen effects.

Sounds interesting? Link in bio.

Been watching #SortYourLifeOut it's soo motivating to go through the doom piles!

I love how gentle and non-judgmental the programme is towards the families, not the Channel 4 "benefit street" drama and laughing at them.

The April sale at Routledge includes my “incredibly vivid” memoir of living with mild traumatic brain injury.

Reviewed by a Clinical Neuro-rehabilitation Psychologist to be “of great benefit to professionals, survivors and their families alike."

Readers have contacted me from around the world to say how much it helped them!

soheb, 2 months ago to Health

The past few days I’ve been taking creatine powder. From what I can see on YouTube, it’s used by gym enthusiasts to help them lift more weights and recover quickly.

As I’ve been feeling quite exhausted from walking a lot, I’ve been trying creatine, and I can tell you I’ve been feeling far less sore on the daily! But the weirdest thing is that I realised last night I was having half the dose as I need two teaspoons rather than one, but I’m still noticing the effects!

I might soon enter in construction mode on my website. As I encourage Meta users to bypass it by subscribing directly to my blog, I must walk the talk and improve that communication channel. 😐✊🏻
