@purplepadma ish? 😂
how are you today? how's your week been?
@moonrabbit My week’s mostly been good, I did midweek get a little too fixated on work and I stopped doing things like leaving the house and walking or otherwise exercising. By yesterday evening I did not feel good, i resolved to look after myself better today so I went for a very sweaty power walk this morning in the sunshine and made sure to stop working earlier.
I have made lots and lots of progress in my literature review and I’m now pretty sure I can complete it by my self-imposed deadline of 14th Feb, which is my last working day before HOLIDAY! 🏝️
@purplepadma hooray! well done you on all of that, and ESPECIALLY on the looking after yourself and heeding the signs that you weren't.⭐
and hooray for nearly holiday too! 
@purplepadma not a last-minute packer then?
and yes, sun cream is vital!
Beauty out of destruction.
@lionelb or creation! we heated only with wood for a long time, and i came to see fire very differently then than i had before. i also knew a chimney sweep who was ... well he was an earth elemental in a very solid human shape, as far as i could tell, but anyway yes. talking with him was fascinating!
we don't have a fireplace where we are now, but i have the raku at least.
