Living within earshot of the largest military base on the west coast means my eyeballs will probably cook before i see the mushroom cloud.

Had a dental appointment today. The lead apron they put on me during the X-rays felt like a nice weighted blanket. I actually felt disappointed when they took it off.

It’s a chilly one on the coast here today, a nippy wind is in the air, I’ve had a coffee or two, chatted nonsense with friends. I’ve been to the village butchers and obtained two tasty Cumberland sausages which I’ll soon be placing in between two slices of sourdough bread. I’ll then be good to go and ready to do a little worky stuff.
Have a productive one, wherever you are.

Wasteful as it was
I miss having a hot bath
Alas no bath here

I'm up at my writing desk and I hear the glorious sound of the tea kettle starting to whistle, then silence. Which just means that my dear husband is making me my nightly cup of chamomile touched with lavender honey, a combination I adore in the evening.

Why is my display name Summer Bear you ask? I got it from one of my favorite books by #BeckyChambers, A Psalm for the Wild Built and A Prayer for the Crown Shy. In the books, one of the main characters, Dex, is a #TeaMonk of #Allalae, the child god of #SmallComforts, who is depicted as the summer bear. Like Dex I feel lost in life but unlike them I have denied myself small comforts for so long. #SummerBear reminds me that I need to care for myself or risk sliding back into dark times.
