None of us is getting out alive, so, be kind, be weird, take long walks, really listen, don't hold on to the past if it weighs you down, talk more, tell everyone you love what they mean to you, be kind to yourself and others, time is worth so much more than money or having stuff

Have swam 10 miles in the Torridge Estuary during November. Please donate a little something, from your cosy sofas if you can.

Beautiful
Winter swimming-where you drive 30+ minutes each way for a 5-10 minute dip in 41°f/5°c water on a beautiful afternoon with awesome people. 😄🥶💙❄️

Hard to get into the water due to Storm Burt. Tree trunks, logs & all kinds of debris including 💩 Gives the pooches time to forage. #lovewhereyoulive

Always feel better after a splosh in the water🏊
For a balanced view of outdoor swimming, today's swim can be summed up by the word "unpleasant"

Still feel better for having done it

The multi-millionaire who bought farmland to avoid tax…

And the man who decimated farming to progress his own career

…are now the self-appointed saviours of farming

On today’s pod we discuss how people have lost their damned minds.

Tonight there will be a Blue Supermoon at 9:35 ET

The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon.

The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!

Since I'm new here, I thought I'd post a sample of my music. I write mostly for choir or solo voice, but also chamber music and some larger forms. Trying to carve out more time for composition, but it's a struggle always. Anyway, enjoy! soundcloud.com/patrick-mich...
