Morning Skyfolk.

Jack status: unwilling to greet the day.

Neurology has written to my gp for the third time to tell him I’m a hysterical woman. Advising medication even a quick glance at my records would show was contraindicated.

And breathe….

A beautiful piece of writing about the reality of living with long term chronic illness that doesn't have an end point.

Today’s poem was The Harm by Colette Bryce. Beautiful use of perspective. Haunting twist. Loved it .

When you realise there’s no milk.

On the plus side, Asda’s cheese was heavily reduced.

jiminy's animal reviews: Found along Australia’s southern coast is the leafy seadragon (𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴), a relative of the seahorse. They gently swim through the water with tiny fins so as to appear like seaweed. This protects them from most predators except for underwater stoners. 🧵

Going back to reading a poem a day that catches my mood in January. Today, Wendell Berry’s Below.

‘All my dawns cross the horizon
And rise, from underfoot.
What I stand for
Is what I stand on.’

New year vibes.
Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

The next 8 hours are going to be spent trying to keep Jack ok when fireworks set the sky on fire. Solidarity to my fellow nervous pet owners.

Just looking at my 2026 events calendar. I'm going to see both Mama Mia and Deep Purple. This encapsulates my split personality perfectly.

So much writing goodness in there too. I want this to be the year I actually complete stuff.

But first, 11 sleeps til Whitby! Here I am eons ago with Sal.

Plans for today derailed by a hideous night's sleep. Now have a small dog attached to me tucked up in bed. A small pootle to our favourite bar may happen, but I need intravenous bacon and coffee before I rise.

Well here’s a box of loveliness.

Still haven’t found my own books. Perhaps they were a fever dream.

This is where I admit the rather embarrassing thing that I am also looking for the author copies of my own books that I put ‘somewhere safe’…
Annual study clean commencing. What to play next? Also, shiny new year notebooks 📒

It will come as no surprise to anyone that next week we are off to Whitby.

One of my favourite Bunnymen songs. Just love it. Mac's voice is superb.

Like multiple people all over the land, today I ordered new gym pants in the hope they propel me out the front door and onto the treadmill with new found, new year enthusiasm for exercise.

Yeah.

(Not shiny superhero pants either. Something suitable for a middle aged woman with butt droop).

Time to cheer up, so we're watching Wonka and it's so very sweet and silly 😜

OH is poorly and has the vomits, and I confess I was well happy that meant I could have the last piece of chocolate log that was technically his.

(I have been to the pharmacy for meds and advice, regularly check his HR, temp, blood oxygen levels & BP, so I'm not completely evil).
