It’s official!
I’ve been paid!
That’s a good thing: it means I can pay off a few bills, and indulge my cravings for chocolate.
Suitably low sugar chocolate, obviously: diabetes is unforgiving, like that!

I’m left handed: you’d possibly worked that out, if you’ve been following me for a while.
I’m very aware there are some who put handedness on a pair with sexuality, and will make a negative moral judgement about you, based on one or the other*.
I’m also not a fan of terrorism: the idea of using violence in support of your cause.
I don’t think violence works, in persuading others your cause is just, and invites violent retaliation from your victims.
So … ?
So I welcome police probes into one group, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya, who are claiming responsibly for several arson attacks.
It turns out, though, that their name translates as ‘The Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand’.
OK: I’m maybe being a little paranoid, here, a little sensitive over nothing.
But their name tells me that — in amongst the antisemitism, and attacks on Jewish, and Israeli, targets — they’re prejudiced towards left-handers, like me.
I don’t think the group will be fire-bombing my flat: I think they’re more concerned with fire-bombing synagogues.
But that name feels like a personal attack.
