May your Sunday be slow and seeped in long moments where you get lost in flow and pockets of brightness.
I’ll try to do some catching up on following back new arrivals today. Welcome everyone.

Well, November has been rather grey so far, but the iris seeds are always good for a splash of brightness at this time.
Look for colour and you will find it.

This workshop on living more intentionally with mortality:
I'll be damned if I buried most of my closest friends, all of my elders, study climate psychology, work in alternatives to incarceration and wrestle with a unique cancer, for NOTHING.
This shit should least be useful for SOMEONE.

Started the day being bitten by a weasel. Then had lovely few hours playing with nephews but goodness, cancer energy does not match that of a 2&4 yo. Have a hospice call this arvo that I have NO energy for but too late to cancel. Jobs to do. Need to crash. Cuppa and a crossword before anything else.

When you realise you missed ONE word in a knitting instruction and are now going to have to redo a whole piece. Hrumph!

Forever ago my husband printed off a fab @happytoast.bsky.social colouring sheet for me. I’ve just got round to doing a bird a day and it’s amazing how just a couple of minutes of zone out helps with the sometimes overwhelm. Thank you Happy Toast! Only two left.

It’s an afternoon for ginger tea, blanket, knitting and Columbo.
Just one more thing - could someone come cook tea for me.

The air is coated in the mellifluous melting trickle of waterfall song from robin. It rings out through blue skies & from green to green. A chorus rabble of squeals, clicks, whistles & bubbling brings background jazz beats from the starlings that line the roof & aerials.

There is something in the light today that is making me feel giddy with joy; it’s bright but soft, it seems to be making everything glow.

Blue sky is stippled with white clouds and a susurration emanates from the trees as a wind turns up its pace, on and off, rattling silver moons of honesty below and above blowing the bubbling talk from goldfinch as they head home to roost. #naturewriting #NatureWriting

Got to do my first injection on myself of new meds and feeling decidedly wussy about it. Going to have a hunk of dark nut choc on standby for after as a reward.
