I'm doing really bad with holding on to my things lately; so not only have I managed to lose a brand new beanie (a gift nonetheless) recently, but yesterday I stopped off at a cafe while doing site visits. The guy was friendly, even pulled up a table outside for me to sit at ( Read more... )

Mindful March: By Ear

So, aside from work and taekwon-do, I've had no plans today. I've not done a lot; worked from home, but did get in a lunchtime walk. I even managed a quick hello with a couple from next door, and a random man sat on a bench ( Read more... )

Altruistic August: Out of Order?

gavinf1980 Aug 15, 2023 18:59

No one to slow me down, no one else waiting to be served behind me ( Read more... )
