Living on a farm I appreciate not needing to wear a watch or generally worry about what day of the week it is so I was shocked when I was told that THIS is Easter weekend & family will be descending upon me! I’ll need to do some shopping in prep & because of that I won’t be here for #herbChat today

Well my phone needs charging so I’m going to have another cup of tea and just sit quietly for a bit. Since April Fools joking ends at noon maybe I’ll wait until this afternoon before rejoining you all here, lol

Happy Indie April! I would love if you checked out my queer scifi novel that has characters over 40, cute robots, and a star-crossed human/android relationship. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

I was woken long before I needed to be up but was told it was fine because I’m on the list of family members who can be called at any time of the day or night. I thought that was lovely to know. 😛

Elke and I have been out for walkies; the sky is clear so we had a good look at the nearly full moon. I hope it’s still visible tomorrow night. I’m signing off now, hope to see you again soon. Take care.

March was a more ‘interesting’ month than I liked, here’s hoping that April behaves itself.

Anybody else going to #ALECC this June in Edmonton? Still trying to pull the details together, including finding who some fellow travellers might be! #envhum #envhist www.ualberta.ca/en/literatur...

Well it seems my wi-fi password was compromised. Instead of working in the gardens I’ve spent the day dealing with that. I’m not much of a fan of tech about now. 😛

With Kings of Kramwen coming out in a couple of weeks, I'm celebrating with a special promo this week to give all a chance to pick up Crown of Caphedra for FREE on Kindle. www.amazon.com/dp/B09M7V62SS ...and I must say, I'm happy to see so many readers take up the offer! 🪐📚💙 #DarkFantasy #BookSky

I am literally too tired to type. Dtr and teenage granddaughter were here today and we worked! The garden dirt is ready to work, it was good to get those first shovels full turned. I’m calling it a day now, more tmrw. Take care.

Women do not have to be quiet, or smile more. We are here and we aren't going to take the back seat anymore.

The insanity that still has me wondering about Mercury retrograde & Uranus up to no good has made this an ‘interesting’ day. It’s going to take some time to get things straightened out. It’s been suggested that I just go to bed & let those who can fix things do their thing so I’m calling it a day.

I urge my male friends to give this a read as well . Do you recognise some of this with yourself, if so , please talk to someone.🙏🏼

Is anyone aware of some kind of spam going around about internet connections and copyright infringement? I’ve just had a weird email supposedly from #Telus saying some sort of problem may have come from my computer but they don’t have my name right on it.

Wow. Thanks for posting—if you read this, and absorb just one sentence, let it be this one: “We treat asking for help as an admission of defeat rather than what it actually is, which is a sign that you’re still fighting.” Universally relevant. 💙💙💙🐾

The Feral Cat Network Foundation of Alberta, located in Donalda, is closing and looking for homes for 47 cats. If you can help, contact Jennifer: [email protected] Keep in mind that they're feral, so they need extra special care to become socialized. #cats

This is important. Read this, especially if there is a man in your life.

Rural residents are outraged about proposed changes to zoning in the Cowichan Valley Regional District that would restrict property use.

Well it’s great being back online but it’s time to call it a day. That wind is roaring again so I’m not expecting a restful night and am keeping my fingers crossed that all stays well overnight. I hope you all are well, wherever you are. ttfn
