This month’s flowering pot plant … dahlias**

AU$12 of sunshine! Hopefully the rest of the flowers will unfurl over the next little bit.

It rained and rained and rained heavily on Friday night and there was some nearby flash-flooding.

And in very excellent news, ThePalace(OfLove) remained water-tight! Hurrah!

I’m trying to get back into good mental health habits from today – they really do slip if you are not vigilant.

This primarily involves not looking at The Guardian, not scrolling on my phone, stepping away from the computer, picking up the cross stitch I’m making for Bessie (which has been languishing for more than a month) and watching soothing youtube videos.

And exercise. I really need exercise. I have no idea what my blocker is – except that I find the stationary bike terribly boring.

Maybe back to very gentle yoga videos.
