Two years ago, burned out to the point of random vomiting, I put my hand up for a voluntary redundancy from the academic job I loved. On my first day unemployed I took a train to the outback.

It’s 4.22 on Saturday on a beautiful day in autumn and now I can’t get out of the bath because it’s too cold, but the water is warm. Plus I haven’t finished my glass of wine.

Vale Millie the chicken, killed by a dog today. Of the many big things in the world this seems small. But also big. We loved her.

Planted next year’s garlic and calculate that at 1 head per week we will probably *just* make it. I want to plant more so next year we have surplus but my beloved is unconvinced. Who should win? Team surplus v team exactly right amount?

Yeah I get that. Hope for nourishment of all sorts for you and yours. And I’m 💯 grateful for what I have. Which is not helped by these beautiful thugs (yellow created cockatoo) who come to destroy (and not eat!) food stuff.
