It's that time of the year again Yes we are still doing it - You can vote for the finalists here
www.readersheds.co.uk/index.cfm?
This year we have sheds that have been turned into something else during the lockdown - from making PPE visors, to teaching kids online and a comedian working from his shed.
We also have the other sheds we are known for, weird and wonderful creations, pub sheds and the odd Shed that will have you shouting "NOT A SHED" at your monitor
so go and vote for them and don't mention Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson

We have Martian rocks found on Earth, and we will absolutely find Earth rocks on Mars. There will be no Martian viruses because there is no macro fauna on Mars for them to parasitise. If microorganisms are on Mars they will be ancient and deep underground, just like our Earthling oxygen-phobic microbes are deep underground, and will probably be related to us.
It remains to be seen if there are any macro-fauna on the various ice worlds, and it's likely that microbe transfer between us and them is a hell of a lot lot rarer. That said, it is highly doubtful that humans shall be heading to the ice worlds within the next hundred years, so I'd not worry about it until it becomes a problem worth considering.

I've brought back my blog. Some of you might remember I used to post my writing regularly. I stopped. This is why.
Anxiety Comics

Let me start with an apology. If you have been a regular reader of this blog then you may be surprised to see it return. I know some...
( , Wed 22 Jul 2020, 22:04, Reply)

I suffered with it for years. Most of my life, really, although I didn't recognise it was Anxiety Disorder until I got my alcoholism under control and realised that I had all kinds of issues long before alcohol became my medication of choice.
I don't suffer from irrational bouts/periods of anxiety any more. Somehow during the process of learning to live without being shitfaced 24 hours a day, I completely and utterly ceased giving a shit what anybody thought about me.
It's a double-edged sword, though. When I suffered from anxiety (and before the drinking hit critical mass) I was a hugely popular person. I had an absolute shitload of friends, got invited everywhere and was generally a lovely guy. One of the great things about Anxiety Disorder is that it instills you with a sense of humility. Even if nobody else sees it, it's like a little monkey on your shoulder keeping you in check.
These days I'm a total cunt, for want of a better word. I'm not a malicious or nasty individual by any means. But I have absolutely no interest in going out of my way to please people just for brownie points. I won't laugh at somebody's shit joke in social situations just to win their favour, or tell somebody their dress looks lovely when it looks like a sparkly prolapsed anus. My boss absolutely loves me for my candour, but it has made me absolutely useless at being 'nice'.
I mean, I have a fantastic partner. Two brilliant dogs and I get along great with my partner's friends. I don't really care for friends of my own any more, I have plenty to do with the time I have already. But subjectively, I'd imagine most people would have preferred my previous anxiety-ridden life (minus the crippling alcoholism) versus my relatively new anxiety free but a bit of a total cunt with no mates life.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is, don't try and completely banish your anxiety. It's probably quite healthy to worry a bit about what other folk think of you! Bloody good on you for putting it out there, though. It's not the most macho subject in the world, so it's a condition that I feel gets largely hidden/ignored by the male population. All the best with getting your head screwed on properly!
( , Wed 22 Jul 2020, 22:51, Reply)

Yes, it's unpleasant but I can see where it keeps me in check. I also use alcohol to self-medicate and wish I didn't. i'm not an alcoholic, mind (I've checked) but my brother is and I've supported him through some horrible stuff.
It's pleasing to know you have support. Get better. I'm single but have terrific friends.
I know anxiety is part of who I am (though I would like to banish it) and I can use it for my life. And I hope to get my head screwed on right.

( , Thu 23 Jul 2020, 1:01, Reply)

I very occasionally get a wistful longing for the absolute freedom from any responsibility or accountability it seemed to give me. But I've gone right off the idea of taking any substances whatsoever that significantly alter my cognitive function. Not long after having my last drink, I put down the pills and the weed, too. The thought of putting something like that into me now is analogous to poisoning myself.
I'll always be a dirty alcoholic, though. No matter how long it's been since I last drank. It's always worth reminding myself that I'd almost certainly be homeless, possibly dead, if I didn't decide I was ready to stop when I did. Complacency is fucking deadly, and the only thing stopping me from starting is myself.
I really don't mind that part of the sobriety deal was me becoming a less friendly person. The only time I dislike the new Mr. Penis is when my somewhat volatile temper gets the better of me. But those moments are very, very rare.
Hobbies and animal pals are definitely very, very good outlets!

Peppermint Patty thought Charlie Brown was great. But in the world of Peanuts she was a weirdo who couldn't be trusted. It was part of Schulz's complex world. And yes, Marcie was presented as in love with her which further complicated matters. Thank you for the kind words.
