    Morning all. It sounds like everyone had a good night? 😁

    Another day hiding from the builders, but I did have a pigeon friend sit on my hand, so that's put me in a good mood for the day. ❤️

    Good morning Scopicles

    I actually slept 6 hours uninterrupted last night so I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed 😊

    @Grinchy that's brilliant the mens club went well. Takes courage to try new things

    Hi everyone!!!!!

    @Grinchy I'm glad you have a group you can go to for support and friendship and stuff

    Maybe this needs a separate new discussion topic but going to a mens group made me think … it would be nice if there was something like that for me but I don't find I can fit into a category

    I don't associate really with most other men when it comes to "men's" stuff

    But I would feel the same in a group for women (if I was even allowed in)

    I even don't associate with men who question their gender, I can say this from experience because I've been to a gender clinic and most are sure that they are women and wear female clothes and paint their nails and stuff … I'm happy if others are happy but not for me

    I even tried to find a group for non-binary people but I found I didn't fit in well there, can't really explain why, they were nice people just no one I could relate to

    There doesn't seem to be a group … for people who don't fit into a group 😆

    I’m not sure what’s wrong when I’m trying to tag Ada and Beaver79 it’s not coming up so I can click on their names but can do everyone else.

    @Ada
    Hi I hope you had a few hours sleep please remember your thought a lot off and we are all missing you a lot.

    @Beaver79
    Hi sorry I just saw that your X-rays results were all good that’s great news I hope your bloods come back the same.

    @Teigr

    @66Mustang you always make me smile thank you. The fact you have tried different groups is awesome.

    That was a good way off putting what this group feels like as I also feel like that and consider yous my friends.
    I’m doing ok thanks happy to be getting my house painted at long last. I’m sitting in my bedroom just now my daughter is coming to take me out for a coffee and probably drop In and see my mum.
    I hope you enjoy your day.

    That sounds like a good day, are you going out while it's painted? Then you'll get home to a new looking house 😃

    How did you get them brave enough with you that they'd sit on you?!?!?! I wouldn't like it but also very impressed!! The birds round here fly away if you even go near the window let alone be outside 😁

    @66Mustang, remember that's just the stereotypes of men / women, they'll be plenty of both at groups that don't fit the expected 'norms' ❤️ Maybe a neurodiversity type group would be ideal?? Online at least they seem very accepting of everyone and will be able to relate to some of your experiences and feelings!! Or a group related to some of your interests??

    Morning @Teigr, @Lou67, @Beaver79, @Marydoll5, @Rosie_Scope and everyone else!!

    I lost all my sun and it's rainy and cloudy here today!! I have a doctor appointment for late this afternoon which is meant to be in person so I feel like I'm on edge waiting ahhhhhhhhh
