It can be exhausting, can't it? There's always something.
I have slowly realised the difference therapy has made to me is not that I don't wobble or spiral, but that I come back much quicker when I do.
Hours not days now.
Oh this sounds lovely! It's one of those things I've never seen but would love to. And I'm always a fan of staying up late to read.
I got some tickets recently and had to justify the expense by reminding myself how rarely I go...
Going to the theatre is the best thing, I am going to try to do more of it. Something magical about the whole interaction, story telling, connection.
Thank you, lovely. It's all a bit miserable at the moment, but the moments of softness and connection mean so much to me - including this one! How are you?
Half a book a day, a beautiful sunset, the company of friends, small moments of choice and freedom, trees (always), quiet, beautiful music, precious moments with loved ones not long for the world. I hold these all so tenderly.
One of my other problems is that the world is an awful place. But in the words of a wise man I know, sometimes you can find joy in the dimness.
One of my problems remains that if I sit down to read, I read the whole book. If I make a huge effort I can stop at half a book.
I got a network railcard after having a similar reaction.
I am endlessly making Nigella’s salt and vinegar potatoes, and looking for things that would go with them is my impetus for cooking right now.
It was so good. I did a happy little sad sigh at the end.
I’m ok but it is a bit 🫠 here.
A word in praise of the air conditioned overground trains in London. A blessed relief as we swelter.
We can be friends because I actively avoid it.
Amazing!
Hello!
Hello! I’m good - somehow teetering along in my own care sandwich, somehow holding onto building my own life within that.
Ooooooh
I so totally approve of you watching this first thing. I am going to have to hum in anticipation all day instead. I’ve been looking forward to this SO much!
And I do think of @tuesdaymidnight.bsky.social when I see it too.
I have one too - I have it framed on my wall so that I can look at it often too!
Urgh that is so annoying!
I suspect it’s the practise I’m lacking in, but I am still super impressed!
These are all so lovely, I’m totally in awe of your skill!
Oh I really don’t like those taps - not hot enough for black tea.
I know that you are a tea connoisseur! I’ve learned that the secret is to tailor which teas I have where - and maybe you can have a little water filter at work??
Tbh my life would be a lot happier with more cups of tea and more knitting and crocheting. And it’s not even like this is something out of my control, either.
What if I say fuck it to the admin I need to do this afternoon, and instead I just sit down with a cup of tea and some good music or a good audio book, and finish that sock I started knitting at some point in 2024?

@jo-maggie.bsky.social hello!
