Thanks @RiverSeal 

My usual … walking, meditation, garden, music, cooking, curling up in foetal position and reaching out. Thanks for noticing.

Lovely to see your message @Shaz51 

hhhhhmmmm! Love a good cuppa

hope the mister gets better 

I had 4 visitors over for music making and lunch. They were beautiful and it was nourishing.

however I am struggling a lot with despair. Not able to completely hide it but feel held by our music and plans through to January next year. 

my concentration wasn’t brilliant but good enough I guess.

walking with sisters really helps
