Steph

I adored this book too. He’s such a unique writer and so many life wisdoms in there as always with his books

😮😮

Sounds horrid. Not much better here. Hope you can rest after physio and long bus travel xx

Cat nurses are the best

Great action shot!

🙁🙁

Two important things:
1) after tomorrow the sun will not set before 5pm again in the UK…until October
2) if you’re struggling just now *please* be kind to yourself

Me too. It’s the toughest thing. We were told in August he had pancreatic cancer and in Sept that it had spread and was terminal but we are very grateful that he’s remarkably still here and enjoying life. I hope you’ve get lots longer with your lovelies

So sorry and totally feel your fear and pain while I look after my terminally ill ginger lad

Horrific 💔😢

So handsome and princely 😻😻

Oh no I hope it’s nothing too serious at this stage. Yes please stop getting old cats, I hate it, I need many more years either way mine 🙁

Fantastic work!

How gorgeous is this? Sheep eating toast. Well worth a follow of this gorgeous farm

Asking for help doesn’t make you weak. It’s a form of strength and courage

I do love a Beurer heat pad. Seem to last the best. But Shane about the cover, it needs to be cats!

So beautiful 🥰

Love this 🩷

So grateful that my beautiful Quinny is still with us despite his terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis 4 months ago. He’s got thinner but is still enjoying life and lots of cuddles so we are taking a day at a time with him #blessed

Been doing some easy paint by numbers kits to try to quieten my anxious mind while I’m in a black hole of depression. Here’s my bookshop one (sorry it’s sideways, bit like my life lately!)

I’m so sorry xx

Never disturb a sleeping cat!

So sorry x

Oh no Marie I’m so sorry. That will be a huge adjustment for David after caring for him for so many years. Thinking of you both xx

Oh no so sorry to hear that xxx

Colourful illustrated artwork on a deep red background with handwritten cream text reading “You can be a kind person and still”. Surrounding the text are playful illustrations including a rainbow, butterfly with heart shapes on its wings, peach, flower, planet Earth with a ring, and an acorn. Additional handwritten phrases say “say no”, “disagree”, “say the wrong thing”, “stand up for yourself”, “have bad moods”, and “make mistakes”. The overall feel is warm, reassuring, and human, celebrating kindness alongside boundaries and imperfection. Picture by Nikki Miles

“Caring for myself is not self indulgence, it is self preservation.” Audre Lorde

Kindness doesn’t require perfection. It may include boundaries, honesty, bad days, and mistakes.

Looking after yourself is part of being human.
