@PetraPhoenix Good Morning ️️

#3GoodThings #Today1. No headache!2. Got my nail fixed and she didn't charge me.3. Did some nature journaling.

@Sharonbw @joyce We picked a handful of irises yesterday. (central England)

#Today was a good day. Got a website for a local mutual aid group established using a new stack setup I hadn’t tried before. Happy with the initial results. Now it’s Chinese leftovers and maybe movie time. If not, then Ball X Pit.

@PetraPhoenix I will, thanks.

@ajlewis2 I'm still working through Looman's book. I think the answer is less about getting fewer hours of sleep and more about using the time I have better - for some definition of "better"

@joyce I'm eager to have that cool weather drift further south. In the meantime it's yardwork for hubby and cooking for me.I hope you have a good writing day.

@j258853Thank you. It's a smaller house on a big lot with lots of garden space.

A new day. A new chance to succeed.Waking late four mornings in a row. If this keeps up the sun will be rising before I do soon.But I like my early morning dark time. Quiet, before the day has a chance to stir the pot.Perhaps this is a new normal that I need to adapt to. A change, probably for the better, if not entirely welcome. Maybe I'll find the advantages of better rest outweigh the opportunity cost of sleep.May your costs all be worth it #today

@Sharonbw Good morning. We got a few little sprinkles this morning which hopefully subdued the pollen a bit. I'm almost afraid to see what my (theoretically) white truck looks like. Yellow polka dots? I hope we all get a decent bit of rain on Sunday.Have a good one!

@CA_Hawthorne 🥳 That's what I'm talking about! Let's do it!

@joyce We are also seeing the decline of the plants from 20+ years ago. I don't know enough about them to even guess. We want to bring in a plant doctor to look at what's going on. And yes, I'm further south and a few weeks ahead of you and Sharon. Do enjoy those redbuds! They are one of my favorites.

#today misc life admin today, including bellyacheing at the gas people who cut off our gas supply fully (as wanted) but pointlessly wrecked out lawn etc because they didn't wait for us to be in!In other news, a #research report has just been published that shows #heatPumps and #TRVs (ie #zoning) can play nicely...https://www.beama.org.uk/resourceLibrary/university-of-salford---beama-trv-energy-house-report.html

@joyce Nice that you found the path forward on your WIP.

@Sharonbw That's good news that the mask helped! This drought is awful. We're getting some drip systems, as I don't garden and hubby doesn't get up early enough to water the planting beds before work. We're hoping it will help save our plants, especially if this drought continues. The last I heard we need 7 inches to end our drought.

@joyce The dogwood is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it. Good luck with the new character and new plotting.
