We've got a couple of similar ones in North Somerset.

@drcakeberry.bsky.social so much fungi around at the moment, bumper year this year, have you been any walks to hunt for them?

It's very variable, I had a health issue a few months back and very different approaches from people.

Physical distance, phone in another room during set times eg past a certain evening time or if watching TV. Put on aeroplane mode when out and about.

Did you avoid sleeping in there for 24 hrs?

Anyone had non wool carpets installed, how long till the smell dissipates?

We've got lettuce growing in ones which were left here when we moved in. New ones will be for tomatoes, a courgette plant and maybe more lettuce, then winter greens through the autumn hopefully.

Planning on sorting out some veg planters we had delivered today, will feel nice to have that sorted.

Oh and lots of annoying house stuff...

Up and down, also work struggles.. sorry you're the same.

Felt like he definitely struggled a bit with anxiety / feeling uncomfortable at the start, impressive being able to confront that whilst being filmed. Nice to see reality TV of people just being nice to each other.

I thought he did pretty well.

How is everyone? Not been on here for ages...

Sending a hug..

I'm not using bluesky or twitter that much..

I thought that, 🙂

Bee experts, if a neighbours put a hive right next to our hedge is it likely to cause an issue? Love bees but it's right next to our compost bins which we regularly use. @drcakeberry.bsky.social @intheflowerbeds.bsky.social ?

Too many battles to try and fight sadly :(

There was probably a lot more horrible stuff I missed out. He said the people may be dead now that he mentions but their family would still be alive. If he's only changed names people could still recognise themselves.

He goes to work in social care for the council at one stage and complains people are too 'lefty' and don't like his 'banter' I think we can probably all imagine what that would be like....

I listened to it today. Its unbelievable some1 can write about being abusive towards patients and face no consequences. Regularly getting drunk on shift,being derogatory2patients, misogynistic views, so so many issues. Yes it's an incredibly hard job, but the way they've written about it is awful

Out of the wind yesterday it was such a lovely day on Mendip, we didn't walk that far but it was so nice to just sit in the sun after such a grey winter.

I was taking 5mg which is half of the lowest dose prescribed, urgh!

Did you find it took a while for the amitriptyline withdrawal symptoms to go away?

I did try that too but got horrible UTI type pain :( hope it helps you.

Nortriptyline for me, I'd avoided taking anything the whole time I've been in pain, but was really fed up with it last month and gave in. The gastro side effects have made me stop.

Reminding me of benzo withdrawal which I really don't want to be reminded of! Felt terrible this morning but it lifted whilst I was outside, but back to grim again this evening.

Started taking a pain medication last month, did help a bit but side effects intolerable. I took half the lowest dose prescribed but now having horrible withdrawal symptoms trying to get off it. My body is so sensitive to medication, always wondered if its linked to Gilbert's Sydrome which I have
