Not *entirely* sure how I’ll manage that much sitting, as I’m still bruised AF from spine injections, but it’s remote so worst case I can put ice packs everywhere 🫣😂

I used those all last winter and they are great. But bright enough that the batteries do need replacing a lot.

I bought a £20 SAD lamp that clips on my side table and shines over my head for seasonal-blues reasons, then realised it was also amazing for crafting.

Upside/downside: the cat likes to sunbathe under it with me (yay cuddles, awkward for knitting)

Makes sense! And it sounds like a really cool book 📕 ❤️🔬

That hardly seems possible!? We must have been marvelling at rock layers nearly as long as we have been marvelling at anything.

As always, your recommendations make me want a tardis so I can sneak extra reading time 🙂

Good evening Womble! Late reply because I have spent the day *reading* 😁

Today is Green Man’s Holiday by Juliet McKenna by which is genuinely scary

This week: Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and finishing Little F by Michelle Tea, both 😍

+some tech-ish books for new job which starts soon

Alt for the video (how did my settings not block my post without those??)

A steel bird feeder with three compartments full of treats, and another metal feeder with suet balls, and many tiny birds eagerly snacking

I should have known you were in Orlando :)

I have/had artist and musician friends there, and really liked the view of the place they shared

Hopefully I can sit tomorrow, yesterday’s injections left bruises 🫤

Health? Community?
