What mattered was presence. What mattered was truth. What mattered was choosing growth over self sabotage, clarity over chaos. The dogs turning the path into their own winter procession.

Do it.

Come back to it if it appeals in a few months/years .

Life is too short and there are too many things we'll never get to read to plough through something that makes you want to read just one more page.

That sounds like a perfect breakfast. Or lunch. Or supper in truth. :)

Some fungi in a heap of horse poop

I think this is egghead mottlegill. I throw mushrooms on the muck heap when we have them but only these grow ( and aren't for eating) .

On the other hand we have adders, ducklings, rabbits and all other wonderful things in my 'mucky nature reserve; maybe it's payoff buying mushrooms.

I fundamentally believe this. I despise seeing people scolded for personal choices and feel we need options to mute content , but we need to share our humanity. That lurks not just in ideology but in the day to day joys and trials of the mundane.

I absolutely love sumac , it's one of my favorite flavours. And zaartar is delicious. I could eat every single day :)

I think it's worse for people like you, otherwise healthy, full life with a young child, because you see impact on others and that doesn't help.

Just - be kind to yourself while seeking solutions! You deserve that kindness.

Hanging really can help a little ime.

I kept more mobile for a good while with yoga. I absolutely detest the impact of muscle relaxants (I don't know if it's the ptsd but they make me weepy and depressed) so I do my best to avoid them. 1/

@lbc.co.uk - I thought I'd give Ali a chance today but 'Bonnie Tylering'Trump earned immediate switch off. Disgusting to try and make illegality heroic.

It should be easier to find second hand yoga bolsters . I want a dozen to prop me up outside and cannot afford new.

Iranian elementary school bombing:
Some losses aren’t measured in numbers, but in the ordinary objects that no one came back for.

Is it taking recycling too far to reuse the wire from damaged heras panels as wall mounted climbing plant support? I don't think so.

I'm enjoying how there's functionally no difference between me posting a thought here and going into the garden and shouting it at a pigeon.

Interesting take on the Iran situation from an Iranian. There is no way the Trump is on top of this.

Also - my mother's Swedish influence meant I was outside in my pram for naps as a nipper where ever we were- snow or baking sun . I need fresh air to feel safe.

So happy it's open window season again. I'd sleep with a window open year round but husband did not go to a British boarding school so is less happy in a freezing room.

He's old - and with age has become clingy . He likes to sit on me at ALL times. Which is a tremendous honour.
