Month in Review(s) - July 2022


July wasn't as awful as June.

Which is a heckava low bar, but one that's worth having!


'July - Gorffennaf' with ice-cream and fruit on a table behind the words


My energy levels still weren't at their tippity-toppest after having Covid, and then the heatwave came.

Dear Lord, the heatwave came.

I am one grumpy bear in the heat - like, I get so pi**ed off, at pretty much everyone and everything - and we had record-breaking temperatures here in the UK. Again.

It was relentless, and climate change is both real and horrendous. London was on fire. I don't mean that metaphorically.



Add in some very not-good mental health days, and July was well... not good.

But it wasn't terrible, and it was better than June so... yay, improvements! 😅



Looking at what I wrote/posted in July... looks like it's as erratic and esoteric as ever.

So... enjoy! Lol.

  1. July marginally better than June? Yay for small victories!

    I'm like you when it comes to the heat - plus I'm physically miserable (sweat, cramps/stiff legs, everything hurts basically).

    You have a 2016 post trending? Diary of A Sexually Fluid Girl - I just read that. it was a lot of fun but very honest and informative.

    Nia Nall rocks! (I'm watching Supergirl right now).

    1. Woo! Lol :)

      Ugh. I've melted. It's horrible.

      I do! There were posts from a bunch of years that got a lot of views in July - I cross-referenced the Blogger stats (which usually assumes nothing is spam) with Analytics (which usually assumes that everything is spam) and these were the posts which appeared on both lists! Surprised me too, but then, there's not a lot of info. about being sexually fluid out there on the web (which is why I wrote it back when I first came out,) so it stands to reason that someone found it and shared it somewhere. Which is pretty cool :)

      Nia is amazing!!! And she and Brainy are meant to be!!!! :)

  2. Yay for improvements! Even if the bar is low, you still exceeded it, and little victories should be celebrated :)

    1. I read it quite a while ago - that's one of my older posts that have somehow been quite popular this month! It's good, but its one of those graphic novels which some people are gonna hate!

      Thanks - you too.
