Welcome back, Jo. Missed you, glad you found so much in the meantime. Two things. I don't remember the loan for an iMac but glad I did. A time machine would enable me to gift it to you (did you pay me back, ha-ha, of course you did). The other thing is that I can't give up Trump-watching first thing every morning. Wish I could. I cannot tell you what I want to happen to him because it's not in keeping with your message here. Keep writing – the world, humans and all of nature need you.

Hello : ) It was a “I’ll keep a bit of your wages until it’s paid off kind of deal” which was a wise move on your part!

I was so addicted to Trump-watching on Threads. Trust me, I know what you want to happen to him because me too. Me too. I’m doing my best to excise the bit of me that his presence has poisoned. I can’t let it take hold.

Love this Jo 🤍so much resonates. I’m laughing so much because I’d forgotten Hinge and Bracket!! I feel your inner dialogue, so similar I think to mine at times. Keep writing, I’m struggling with it too at times, so easy to go into “what’s the point?!” but I think and honestly in my heart believe the ordinary every day of each other is what will sustain us x

Thanks Jo. I’m increasingly drawn to the ordinary every day and the peace of those rhythms. AI could never. X

Always scary how I could have written almost the same sitting on my bench in my very unkempt garden with my cat. Happy June to you too.

Something about us has to be predictable or where would we be? 🥰
