White liberal

Unlike many, I'm still on Twitter because my timeline consists of golden retrievers, police dogs being brave, Welsh rugby, and the occasional left wing political comment. I responded to one of the latter along the lines of, "Yes, I'd rather live next to a refugee than a Reform MP," and suddenly I receive a torrent of abuse.

I say torrent; I mean twelve abusive comments. Actually make that eleven as I count white liberal as a compliment. I reported one as it wished harm on me but I can ignore the rest.

It confirms my suspicions that Reform voters are not only unpleasant people, the majority of them are thick as two short planks.

Went to Mumbles this morning to buy fish and take back my library books - with the serious intention of not borrowing any more for the time being as I have loads to read. I'll just take a little look, I say to myself, and come home with five books I couldn't resist.

As the shop was waiting for more fish it necessitated me wandering around for a while. I have a couple of dresses that I've been thinking need a cardigan without sleeves to go on top. I couldn't think what the word was. I said to myself, "What's the word for waistcoat?"
"Oh, that's the word!"

I googled waistcoats and find out they're on trend at the moment. Get me, a trend-setter. well, maybe not exactly a setter but definitely on trend. So I bought myself one in Mumbles. Tried the charity shops first but they didn't have any - obviously because everyone's wearing them not getting rid of them.

Out on High Street last night with the friend who works with the girls working on the street. I know there are women who say they personally choose to do it but not the ones on the streets, who are driven to it by poverty, addiction, boyfriends. Their stories are so tragic.

Last night one of them was asking if we had any crop tops. I went into full Welsh mam mode saying, "You'll get a cold in your kidneys, child!"

We had several requests for condoms. I have undertaken to find out where/if we can get free condoms to hand out.
