My boy was 26 yesterday ❤️ we’ve been together since he was 6 months old. He’s as unphotogenic as ever, but his heart is the most true. Love you Cirrus ❤️

Early detection is not prevention!
Highly profitable screening can cause iatrogenic harm: a cascade of intervention and considerable worry and distress for something that was never going to cause harm.
Prevention is lifestyle behaviours, not medicalisation.

Bit stressed & sad today, my dog is not doing great with the changes in our lives & I’m finding figuring out the options hard.
Maybe it’s a hint to get going more with Pain Coaching but I love my 10hrs at the community shop as it roots me in my community otherwise I get too lonely.
Sad.

Came home after a shitty morning to find a friend had bought me a present; a treadle hen feeder! Rural gift giving 🥰
I’m on a low income & trying to literally carve out a new home in a bramble patch & my 3 inherited hens have been joined by rats but my budget feeder wasn’t helping deter.
Touched 🥰

Took my friend José & her son in law to a hospital appt in Newport, Gwent. Found this amazing tea rooms in a park to wait at. José told me lots of old WWII stories (she’s 100!) it was marvellous as she was on top form ❤️

I made a dead hedge. We have the old railway posts and willow posts (hoping some will become living fence posts). Great way to get rid of my brash & smaller branches.
Making a space to live out of rubble & brambles. No where to rent in my rural area if you are single low income. It’s 🤞🙈💪🏽🙏🏼

Recovery (from pain in my case) is a privilege. So much has to support it. At base, a sense of safety is key. So much harder in poverty, in stress, in fear, in loss, and not in control.
I was lucky. I’m grateful. I had to work hard, but I was further up the ladder than many.
We need to notice.
