It's Getting Colder...

I love the winter. It's good for photography, the grass begins to glisten every morning, and it gives me an excuse to wear my National Geographic fleece jackets! To quote Manic Street Preachers, "We love the winter; it brings us closer together."

However, there is a downside to winter. PAIN. My bones ache when it gets colder and it makes everything slower. I take much longer to write and to cycle in the mornings.

And the hands...

Ugh...

At least this year I have gloves to keep at least a little feeling in my hands!

It seems as if I complain that it's too hot in the summer, then complain that it's too cold during winter!

Another downside is that I can't go on evening bike rides as it's already dark by the time I used to go on bike rides! At least I can still ride to and from school everyday. Also, I still go on bike rides at the weekend!

Thank you for reading and I hope you get through winter okay! Goodbye until next time! ~Jay

LGBT+ Club At My School

When I was in year 10, there was an LGBT+ club at my school which I went to every week. I had a lot of fun at this group and it was a wonderful place to go to for support. However, this club disappeared when I went into year 11. Now that I'm in year 12, I am allowed to set up my own club...so that's what I've  done!

With the help of a few friends, we've set the club back up! The first meeting was today!

I'm looking forward to running this club for (hopefully) the next two years. I hope that I can leave a positive impact on the young LGBT+ people at my school. Maybe it could help me, too!

Thank you for reading and goodbye until next time! ~Jay
