Got another mastoscold yelling at me for "using the platform to promote" my photos.

For the record, I don't generally sell my photos, here or anywhere else. But even if I did, I fail to see why that would be a problem.

Preventing artists from making a living is a strange hill to want to die on.

Another important poll:

Do you “play politics” in life?

Good morning! We'll hit 90F / 32C today, which used to be big news even in June and July. Maybe not anymore.

I'm going to refresh the bird bath and take a walk before it gets too warm. Many thanks to my friends here who reminded me that wearing a mask outside could help with the pollen. 🫶 It does!

Yesterday I had to water some wilting perennials. I've never had to do that in April, as we usually have plenty of rain. I hope this isn't a trend.

#Today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

A day to breathe.

Some days get so filled with stuff, I feel like I forget to breathe. Especially of late.

So I'm taking a day to just breathe. No 2 mile hike. No major chores. No trips out of my hermit cave except, possibly, the mail box.

I have some music cued up. A book to finish reading. Another to write. A couple of small tasks to accomplish. Nothing more.

I like this plan.

I hope you can take at least a few minutes to just breathe #today

I was at my apartment's gym and this bro kept dropping his weights from about 2–3 feet above the ground and after the fourth loud bang I kind of lost it and went over to him and said:

"If you're not capable of lifting that weight without dropping it, then you're not capable of lifting that weight."

So I guess I’m never leaving my apartment ever again.

Good afternoon (other good times are available).

You know, it's not been too bad, for a Wednesday.

J said she'd come with me to walk the dog today, so that of course turns go, walk the dog, come home, into go into town, get some fuel, go to chemists in town after, park, walk the dog, leave town, go to farm shop by some 'easy', convoluted, 'on the way' route to get some bread and milk, then home.

We did get the best part of the day weather wise though, so there's that.

Next, paracetamol for my currently daily headache after another round of ear drop application, and a nap.

Incidentally, because we drop down into a sea-level place from about 235 metres on the way, my ear popped into clarity - for about 0.75 of a second. Tantalising. Hopefully it's close to freeing up properly now.
