New poem performed for the first time this week at Babe Slam in Margate
"Check out my Blue Sky pithy comments..."
A reminder, if anyone needs it today - whatever you're feeling today is valid. You are worthy of nurture and love. Be kind to yourself as well as others.
I know this can be a difficult day for many. #motherless
Anyone else utterly staggered and appalled that Justin Welby says he considers the most significant aspects of his time as archbishop to have been moments of royal pageantry ๐คฎ #bbclaurak

Avoiding psychodrama and click bait but quite appreciating seeing the wild screen grabs from the other place on here. You couldn't make this stuff up. Keep calm and carry on. This is the long predicted information war. Alarming stuff but we've come through worse.

My absolute highlight was Falle Nioke, playing exquisite West African music, which led me to finally go to the wonderful Faith in Strangers, where he was playing again the following Saturday. 2 terrific Margate venues.

Also v pleased to see Bluesky shaping up nicely to be a proper discussion platform and I might get a bit more discussion-y on here as the year progresses. But right now I'm still in holiday mode.
It was perfect. ๐ We always share a poem after we've meditated then have herbal tea and chat. This one, everyone agreed, was especially lovely.

Well I hope he gets a lot of our money back after the Tories and their PPE corruption..
And I also hope some of the profiteering wrong 'uns go to jail
Let's see.

So it turns out they spent ยฃ715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK
