Decided to shamelessly promote my longer Sicario fics*:

Tame my flesh

Storm

If not for you

* or Variations on a theme, as my husband would say it ;-)

The only motivation you’ll ever need. 🐾🐉🐈‍⬛🤍

Yep.

Bluebells. Wild garlic. Such an amazing place. Managed to walk 2.75 km, _very_ slowly and enjoy this sight.

Clinging to beauty, and doing loops around the community garden. Such colours there and in our little garden as well.

Now, that I am slowly emerging from my initial shock and deep misery after getting my diagnosis (fuck ALS, thank you very much), maybe I should finish my half-baked fic, and let it out into the world. It will be shamessly soppy and soft but I don't give a fuck. I want it to float out there for all eternity after I am gone.

She stayed for five minutes.

Now, that I am shit-scared, and anxious, I cling to memories. Clinging to the time, last year, spent with friends, in loving environment, being spoiled and being able to enjoy the lifestyles they have. A different world, different nature, where everything is bigger... but there are tiny beauties as well as this visitor to my friend's windowsill. I try to remember only these snippets of beauties and not dwell on the possible future.

Would love to see photos of @tia-greyblueviolet if she is willing, or @ursahlee or anyone elses (my circle is so small 😆)

Four pics that aren't selfies ( personally, I hate selfies):

1. Mantzi, the cat who decided to take me on as owner

2. My favourite building in Dublin, Ireland

3. My "highest" achievement, haha, my cookies at the Gravity Bar at the Guinness Storehouse (some lucky agricultural ministers ate them later)

4. A loaf I baked.

Yay, it's here! The new book of Roger Deakins about cinematography. No win for guesses what was the first movie I checked out 🤭

This is going to keep me entertained for weeks.

Note to self

Yes, it is absolutely worth sitting on a wip for a few weeks and come back to it with fresh eyes. Time is not an issue, don't rush it. Don't be afraid of rolling your eyes after spotting a few mistakes and laugh at your own silly choice of words.

It is supposed to be fun, remember? Not a chore.

Happy St Brigid’s Day tomorrow! And happy Imbolc, too, each to those who celebrate. It seemed like January would never end but the light is actually returning.

[geopsych]

This year the snowdrops are buried in snow so here's last year's post for Imbolc and St Brigid's Day. Have a good day and feel the good things stirring even if we can't see them yet!

[doughmonkey]

This year I left out a handkerchief for Brigid to bless. But have no rushes to make a new cross... 🤔

Watching The Boys. Strangely apt*, isn't it?
