Rest easy, mum. 🕊️

After recent events, here’s a little thought for everyone, leading up to the festive period.

Instead of worrying what’s under the Christmas tree, worry about who’ll be sat around the Christmas tree with you.

Life’s not a dress rehearsal, enjoy it while you can.
My mum in a light grey tracksuit and sunglasses stands indoors in a shop, smiling warmly at the camera while holding a purse and a small item. She is wearing jewellery on her hands and wrist. Retail displays and signage are visible in the background.

Autistic Joy can come from unexpected things. Tonight is this simple but very familiar score for piano, which is pleasing to the ear and something I've spent the last couple of hours completely focused on. What brings you Autistic Joy? #ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics
The image is a piano sheet music for the song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John. It features the vocal melody, lyrics, and chord symbols above the grand staff. The music is written in a moderate tempo, marked as "Expressively ♩ = 68." The first verse begins with the lyrics, "There's a calm surrender to the rush of day." The accompaniment includes a combination of chords like C/E, F, Dm7, and Gsus4, along with their variations. The structure indicates dynamic phrasing and harmonisation suitable for expressive piano playing.

Threaders and snowy out tonight 🥶❄️ Looks like we may have a good covering by the morning.
A light dusting of snow covers a grassy garden area, with decorative ornaments including an owl statue, flamingo figure, and other small figures placed across the lawn. A small plant is visible to the left, and part of a dark pathway is in the foreground. The scene is dimly lit, indicating overcast weather.

Doesn't wander far.
A striped tabby cat with white paws is walking along a concrete pathway surrounded by grass. The pathway has metal railings on either side. The cat appears to be moving forward in a relaxed manner, with its head slightly down.

The Bosun's Call, a whistle used in the RoyalNavy, served for announcements or "pipes." It signalled tasks like collecting meals while hot, leading to the phrase "piping hot." At day's end, it commanded silence, inspiring "Pipe Down." A versatile tool, it holds deep roots in naval tradition.
A black-and-white photograph depicting a sailor in a naval uniform blowing a bosun's whistle. He is positioned in profile, facing right, and wears a traditional sailor's cap and jumper. A pouch is slung across his chest as part of his uniform. Behind him, two lifebuoys are mounted on a ship's wall, numbered "39" and "357," along with a round metal fixture resembling a naval badge or emblem. The background features structural details of the ship, including a porthole and ventilation grille. The image conveys a formal and disciplined naval atmosphere.

Four Royal Marines Commandos from 539 Assault Squadron are pictured aboard an inflatable black assault boat navigating through a shallow body of water surrounded by dense vegetation. The troops are in camouflage uniforms with face paint for concealment. Each soldier is armed and positioned strategically for potential engagement, their weapons aimed forward. The scene conveys readiness, coordination, and a jungle or riverine environment suited for special operations.

Merlin's chill. 🐈‍⬛️
A sleek black cat is lying on a tiger-print blanket, positioned comfortably with its body stretched out. The cat has shiny, smooth fur and a long tail, which is resting straight on the blanket. Its head is slightly tilted, with bright eyes gazing towards the camera, giving a calm and curious expression. The background includes parts of the room, with visible floor items adding a casual, homely setting.

Royal Marine Commandos from 45 Commando RM man an Observation Post in the mountains of Afghanistan during Operations against the Taliban and al-Qa’ida.
Two Royal Marines from 45 Commando are stationed at an Observation Post in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan. They are engaged in operations against the Taliban and al-Qa’ida. One Marine is armed with an L85A2 rifle equipped with a sight, maintaining a vigilant position while observing the landscape. The other Marine sits close by, dressed in camouflage gear, with a light tan helmet and body armour. Tubular munitions, likely for anti-tank or anti-structure purposes, are positioned beside them. The rugged, arid mountains provide a stark backdrop, suggesting a high-altitude operational environment.
