Came face to face with a rather large fox this morning. 🦊 No pictures as it happened so fast. I was squealing inside with joy but the fox was obviously fearful and ran away.

For 2 days I've travelled back and forth to hospital in Edinburgh. I would very much like to not have to return soon. It massively affects my working day.

No no listen, all I need to do is figure out how to get 9-10 hours of quality uninterrupted sleep between 4am and 7am every day for the rest of the year and I’ll be fine

It's weird, maybe i have banged my head or had an aneurysm but I feel like being sociable. Maybe it's the time of year where we need to coorie. Take night walks and look at Christmas lights. Or go to a cozy folk music gig. Celebrate light and fire in times of darkness.

Grandmother's death day today. Weird that she died on the day of the dead. And also one day before my dad's birthday.

Started pilates. Can't believe what a difference it has made to my morning. I think it might save me from the dark winter mornings.

Iceland is really living up to it's name currently.
Following on from record breaking heat earlier this year, Iceland has recorded record breaking amounts of snow for the time of year, Reykjavík for example has recorded 40CM of snowfall.
Iceland bucking the current very warm Arctic trend.

It could be the lack of sleep but is anyone else incredibly alone in the world? No partner, had to cut off one side of the family, dont want to bother the other side and be an inconvenience, no partner, no pets. Everyone else seems to be family-tied.
