New favourite thing:

Watching people slice rocks in half on YouTube to see what's inside.

It's ASMR with added suspense. Extra points if the video includes tumbling.

I just saw a guy make gorgeous polished cabochon pendants out of rocks from the IKEA carpark!

Right. Nice to have choice. It's actually really well set out and super helpful 💜

I made some art yesterday.

It doesn't look much chop postage stamp size but here we are.

Yes! I love them too. The Porongorups have karri loam on the upper slopes and a lot of rainfall all round 😊

Vanessa Waterhouse @branchflowerphoto.bsky.social · Jul 20

I started the account. ithespoonie is the name. I haven't followed anyone or posted anything yet but might find the energy to do a bit today (lol)

Comorbidities are a killer! POTS is so incompatible with ME/CFS. My body thinks I'm running when I'm lying down doing nothing. Ugh.

Vanessa Waterhouse @branchflowerphoto.bsky.social · Jul 20

Yep, me too.

Not to mention the energy to try them on!

One outfit change a day is pushing it these days.
