Wrote about my illness. 72.peteashton.com/the-state-of...

This took me a couple of weeks to write and partly in lieu of me being able to stay in touch with a number of friends and family. Chronic fatigue is a fucking arse, but I'm slowly learning how to manage it.

The state of Pete

I've been unwell, and will continue to be unwell for a while. This is an account of where that unwellness is at.

Rain yesterday. Blue skies today. Rain forecast tomorrow.

Forgot to take a photo for today and was struggling to find something in the archive but then @joegrassby.bsky.social posted about Jonathan Meades and I remembered in 2016 I found this stencil under Spaghetti Junction.

A stencil of Jonathan Meades on a raw concrete wall. He is a middle aged man in dark glasses wearing a suit.

Fiona scavenged a bird drinking bowl thing from a skip. It’s significantly larger than the one we used to have on the garden table. May have to rethink its location.

A black plastic drinking bowl for birds which sits on an ornamental stand about a meter high is itself sitting on a wooden garden table in front of a fence. It looks out of place.

Send more lawn. This one’s nearly done.

Lavander wants to know if the camera is food.

A black a white rabbit sits up on its hind legs to try to reach the camera. On the wet ground are leaves and garden detritus.

Hard frost this morning. Also I note the squirrels have once again not tidied up their mess.

A wooden table top is covered in frost. On it are small pieces of an apple which has been chewed up by a squirrel. They are also frosty.

Half a garlic bulb and a red pepper are surrounded by various green herbs on a chopping board

My shed door.

Six planks of wood make up part of a shed door, photographed straight on and cropped close. The nails holding the internal support are visible as a diagonal. The winter sun is shining from the side with dappled shadows.

Noticed this old archway was clear of leaves and catching the winter sun in a nice way the other day.

Lots of rain last night.

A bucket is full of water with autumn leaves floating on the top. The bucket is within other buckets.

Caught Lavander being startled by something. Probably a squirrel or a plane or a ghost.

I know there are people who only check this blog for rabbit photos, and it’s been a few days since the last one, so you’re welcome.
