Shortly after my morning post earlier today my vision went and the third migraine in five days came upon me
This is a very very very strange time for us so not surprising I guess
Blooming nuisance though

SWFrance

Weather is slightly changing by the looks of it. Sunshine will return!

Fabulous

Good morning

Truly magnificent

Lovely
We are off to Sicily next week to look for orchids with @mariposanature.bsky.social
Can’t wait!

Good morning to you

Looks as though I’m the first to respond!

Today is #RoseWednesday

Enjoy your day 😊

Good morning
Dinner tonight at the house of some friends
Not sure who else will be there but I know it will be convivial and full of kindness
In the meantime we are moving into our final week here, drawing various threads together
Great to have it accompanied by beautiful sunshine which really helps

Should be good for a week or two 😂

Fab

Fab!

I know I shouldn’t laugh

But I did 😂

Very loud call from a cuckoo a few minutes ago. By the time I’d opened the Merlin app it had stopped. Now presumably flown elsewhere as silence reigns. It’s not yet on my lifetime list 🤣

😉

When the sun catches that incredible iridescence… wow

The Chinook helicopters of the bee world are out in force. Also known as Carpenter bees. Huge, loud, and very zoomy. Beautiful things.

Wonderful!
Bet that gladdens your heart every year that passes.

Thanks Annie, you too.

I think I enjoy it more than almost anyone I know 😂😂😂

And I know a few quite serious horticulturalists!!

So glad you have found a helpful strategy

I have a 12-year old (autistic) GrandBoy, highly intelligent and very loving and kind, and it immediately made me think of him. Thank you so much for sharing.

Deeply envious!!

Beautiful

Do you think you’ll ever go back to reread it, or is it the act of journalling itself the important thing?

Good advice. Thanks. When I was alone for months in France during lockdown I did that and it definitely helped. But I also had great purpose at that time, with the garden. We are just in limbo now … other complications too 🤪

I hope the transition goes well for you.

Good morning
Second migraine in three days yesterday
Very much in the “darkest hour is before the dawn” phase of this strange time in our lives
Desperately trying to maintain the brave face approach to life
What are your strategies if and when you face a similar situation?

Thanks v much for understanding x

Exactly. So rude. Can’t wait to be out of there … which is a huge shame as it’s a fab apartment in a fab location.

Oh, and I also got the very rude “with all due respects …”.
