I live in Surrey UK where I love gardening and often get lost for hours in the garden or allotment. I also enjoy cooking , weaving, spinning yarn, photography and playing with my new pocket 3 video camera.

I know from experience that the brain thinks if you leave it long enough it will just disappear but no, you just have to push through. Try doing 2cm a day most days. It's surprising how it adds up.

Ai generated picture using what 3 words
I've just come up with a fun past time. Go to what 3 words and either pick somewhere or use where you are and put the words into an AI picture generator and see what comes up. This is my local Waitrose entrance where I've just been ๐คฃ (tamed player swoop)

I just craved a packed lunch. I offered to make it myself but my parents insisted on paying 5 shillings a week for food I never ate and most often locked myself in the loo to avoid.

I did my utmost to disappear at lunch times.
