the in unit development of new dogs & period of service makes them cost effective.

“Mate would you mind giving the team looking after the Conflict Management Dogs a shout out? I’m sure you’ve seen in the news they’re also going to be part of the cuts. They’re an incredibly valuable asset and losing them is tough.”

mismatched buttons, syrupy coffee ☕️ cool breeze, warm earth.
the moments of high summer bliss.
teasing out time like blades of luscious green grass drawn from tight sheaths, twilled in indulgent contemplation of the held promise of the day

what freedom this must have offered! imagined adventure, out the door & off! a “i’ll do as i please” lil miss!
wonder if it was long longed for or watched being made with care? Perhaps a chance discovery, cast off from another life?
treasure, adventure & freedom! the very best things a girl needs!

perhaps, grief’s all the luv we would’ve given them, if we still could, held safe in our heart.
grief isn’t a bad thing; it’s raw, it hurts, it tears us open, it’s timeless & endless; but it means we luv’d & that we still luv.
to hold onto the capacity to luv inspite of living, that is priceless.

something about sitting on the back step, just enough shelter to be out the reach of rain & the thunder rolling over.
something in that. Old gods turning in half forgotten heavens casting blessings to a thirty earth.
how many lives have I lived beneath the currents of unrecalled skies 🌌

how couldn’t u long to hold such a sacred creature softly within the palm of ur hand.
such a force of existence contained in so simple a form.
magic isn’t the casting of words but the crossing of time.
hands not unlike our own reaching across the void to gift such beauty into the now

the quest for the perfectly portioned workday cup continues.
in an attempt to reduce the overall caffeine consumption; smaller pot & cup.
the white isn’t the right tone but do luv the texture & I get two cuppas☕️from a single pot!
feels rather indulgent & just a tiny bit wicked on a work day😁
