Red moon rising. It’s beautiful if you can see it

It’s early morning train o’clock
The lunches are made and everyone is still tucked up in bed. (Just thinking that would be the worst holiday-type superhero ever. Your superpower - ‘lunch fairy’ ?!)

Wherever you are, wherever you go, I hope your day is a good one.

I received the gift of some wonderful words from @compostablespork and set them to the picture I took the other evening.

They have become both and


Goodnight. Sleep softly. Sleep deeply. Quiet sets gently here as the light begins to fade.

These long evenings are wonderful.

If images could capture smell... honeysuckle with jasmine in the background as present as the warmth of the sun

Clouds looking like birds in the solstice sky. Very much enjoying the long light tonight.

Black Panther award is given to the man who saved people from the Waffle House shooting. (yes this is from Twitter, but it is so worth sharing) -and yes, we do need heroes and people to acknowledge their amazing work. especially now.

slowly ticking things off the list.

slowly.

with plenty of breaks, and recognition of even small accomplishments, in between.

slowly, but steadily.

today's mantra is:

keep looking forward, every day.

Everyone loves playing in their sprinkler- especially on a hot day

This is instalment number two in the summer life of our garden birds

Did it! Yay! (Does this count as a sub-toot? I never understood that stuff)

I woke up at 6:04 with a song in my head (fly me to the moon) thinking yay! I can run! And the heavens have opened. First time in my nearly two months of daily running that it has rained.

I’ll give it 10 minuets and go anyway 🙂 now that I’ve said it, I’m committed. (I work like that with goals- externally articulating them is a definite motivator)

just got a reminder from my work email - so I clicked on it.

And it said: Nothing new right now.

-so it sent me this so I would look? What's up with that? I closed the application in response.

Today's ironically good day

I had a meeting far away and had to get up at 4am to catch the train (I'd say pre-dawn, but it's light then here) and a long meeting to sit through... but, I slept the WHOLE way on the train (well slept 4 of 6 hours, and that's monster napping) And then and the tube guard in London let me out of the station to get my favourite falafel even though my ticket didn't let me go out & back. He let me if I promised to run. I'm rested and all falafeled up. mmmm!
