Familiar Faces

I like how, instead of
Posted on Tue, 17 Jun 2025
I like how, instead of feeling sad and mourning the loss of physical strength, you have simply transferred your time to something else, equally pleasurable and creative. A garden can be enjoyed simply by passively being in it or even seeing it...

Posted on Wed, 11 Jun 2025
This put a smile on my face, despite the hardships and annoyances you seem to be enduring. I enjoyed the poem and the animal details alongside local highlights. We also have a few vacuum cleaners, I won't say how many, some are very old but I...

Makes me realise how hard it
Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025
