Sometimes I ask my mum to top up the peanut supply, which she does by throwing them from her window. Tolly thinks peanut rain is somewhat alarming, but ultimately tasty. ALT in next skeet

there's only so long before hate & division will collapse in on itself. It's such a corrosive energy. In contrast, genuinely caring about people, community, & environment will grow & consolidate.

Advice from a small mouse. ‘If you are having a tough day and worrying, take a cuppa and sit outside a while and see the good things happening. Spring came, the birds are singing, the flowers say hello. Take a deep breath and plan for some kind action if needed’

Hi. It’s, #MadSkyChat. We chat tonight now for an hour. All mad and/or Neurodivergent people welcome. Just use the hashtag in every response to join in. I’m a bit under the weather. How are you all?

I was sitting on a bench in the park today, a 5 month old cockapoo type dog came bounding up to me in the most exuberant way. Made me totally dog broody and hating my stupid allergies!

Praise be to those who go straight to bed with no faff: the Stephen Collins cartoon www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... ALT: Cartoon shows a couple sitting on a sofa with their cat on the arm of the sofa. The woman says "okay, I'm going to bed" and then does so 1/2

It’s the time of year to be sharing this.

Submerge yourself in things that you love. They create the oxygen needed to carry on with everything else.

Well. That was a stressful GP visit. Normally I feel better after seeing her, but not today!

There are places free for Sunday, join me, my co facilitator and a small group of absolutely wonderful people who can appreciate the uniqueness of your struggles with wanting to not be here and offer you the support you want from our common experiences. /1

Dear GP, Please find copy of ECG enclosed. It says "normal sinus", however I am no longer in normal sinus because your gardeners have been committing wildlife crime again😡

Here’s your reminder that it’s #MadSkyChat soon at 8pm BST.

Gremlin present and correct (phew!). Bit spooked by the gravity water dispenser 😆 @luckyerica3.bsky.social @willow41.bsky.social ALT: Black and white video of a badger drinking from a water bowl attached to a water dispenser bottle. As he drinks the bottle bubbles and he looks up, startled.

This little gremlin (furthest from the camera) is late and I'm worried! ALT: Two badgers snuffling for snacks on a stone tiled patio. One goes close to the other & he bites her neck.

Anyone fancy choosing a new washer dryer for me?

Essex Badger Protection Group & South Essex Wildlife Hospital do a fantastic job, saving orphaned badgers & releasing them to artificial setts. Builds are funded by EBPG & constructed by their dedicated volunteers. But they desperately need a release site in Essex. Please share

Paging folks with cooking nouse: I have some tuna with a use by date of today, that I won't eat. Is it okay to bung it in the freezer? Should I cook it first? Or even bin it - would rather not but it does look as though it might be on the turn. @wijsgeer.bsky.social

Have done loads of exposure this week. Now I'm cold (v unusual) & convinced I'm getting sick. So ofc the sensible thing to do is to sit and panic rather than getting up, turning the heating on and making myself some supper 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Learnt a cool new badger fact this week courtesy of @somanddevbadgers.bsky.social Let's have a quiz! What's the smallest gap, in centimetres, that a badger can fit through. Closest answer gets a virtual medal.

When someone says they need to talk to you about something, but not now, and they won't tell you what it's about.

And Womble of the Month award goes to ... me! Last night I checked my bank balance around midnight, had a mini panic & didn't sleep at all (for multiple reasons) Decided to have a nap at 10.30am. Woke at 2.30. Had to spend £25 on taxi to health appt Turns out appt is tomorrow 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

old friends catching up & assessing the week ahead

Solid explanation of dysautonomia as well as some recovery tips.

Extrapolated myself from stressful keyboard warrioring for a short #GetTheFckOutside A little black poodle (?accidentally) dropped their ball at my feet. I threw it for them & they brought it back to me🥰🥹

I'm supposed to be going for a walk and then choosing a new washing machine. Instead I am embroiled in trying to explain, to a mate's partner on FB, the difference between (valid) criticism of the actions of the Israeli government, and antisemitism. Sigh.

Lose yourself in the forest, and find yourself anew.

Yay: A bit more out in the world Boo: Somehow, while I've been hiding in my room, the price of a coffee & cake has nearly doubled

Somehow I seem to have completely failed to go to bed / sleep last night....

After a long winter, I’m beckoning spring with this beautiful scene by the great Lucy Grossmith. Sweet dreams, everyone 🤎✨

Third migraine in 4 days. Thanks brain!

Sending you off tonight with Hannah Willow’s ‘And he was made of Stars.’ Sweet dreams to each of you 🤎✨
