Well Manchester was the second city to host Pride Events in UK after London and it all started at the time HIV/Aids was starting to affect the 🌈 population in Manchester. Certain 🌈 bar owners and 🌈 business's formed a charity The Village Charity to raise funds for affected guys and now that work is the foundation of the 🌈 support services in the City. One year early on the charity did get some of the memorial quilts (remember those?) to lead the parade and I got to help carry the quilts, an honour at the time. Google The Village Charity it explains the early days before it became a party weekend.
Flexibility; square pegs, round holes. Plans and spaces are in your head but inanimate objects have their own plans. Their ideas are solid, inflexibe, rigid. It is not in their nature to adapt or compromise. You as a living creature must make the changes in your plans.
There you have it Clint, you've gotta break many eggs to make a good omelette 😁😎😝 either that or go to your IKEA store and study their fantasy(?) 30/40/+ square metre studio/small space apartment mock ups. Cheers DougT 🇫🇴🇬🇧
Mmmmm…omelettes. And IKEA! Once I get my new kitchenette fully set up, I’ll be making an omelet or three and IKEA might happen today. Although it’s the busiest day there. TBD. But I do love strolling through for inspiration.
And spotting the 🌈 couples/singles. Sundays the busiest day at IKEA here. This weekend is also the Manchester 🌈 pride weekend. It's the last public holiday too before the decent into winter and Christmas seasons. Google Manchester Pride 2025 I'm sure there will be posts already and Ticky Toccy too!

Ain't that the triple truth (or my mama's middle name wasn't Ruth)? Thank you for sharing your perspective and wise counsel, dear one.
😁 Ray your too sensible, Cheers DougT
Old and wise because of many previous lifetimes.
I push back on "old" but do sense you've been around a block/universe a time or three. Keep shining your light, Mr. Lightbown! :-*
I hear ya, Cheers

Wish I was there! Manchester seems to do Pride RIGHT! Cheers, my dears. 🌈🎉
Thank you, dear Lee. The small changes I started the other night still feel big—and they’re making the place feel so much cozier in my heart. Hugs
