Anyway morning! I'd hoped to awake full of joi de vivre and metaphorical beans but instead am TIRED and COLD and had an anxiety dream so am just slightly derailed and off-kilter. I had a crappy week last week but can't talk to anyone about it and have therefore internalised it and feel generally quite bad/guilty. I've therefore not really planned ahead / thought about this weekend, which is busy and I have to be on my game. Perhaps I can rescue it? Let us try. Let us think the positive thoughts of the forward-motion people. I must go and do a solo #ParkRun. Perhaps that will fix me! Good morrow to you all anyhoo. I hope your day is filled with laughter and magic. X

Hoping your solo park run restored some order & what was it 🤔 joi de vivre to you.
@TheBreadmonkey I hope my day is filled with magic and beans as well! And yours too actually.
I'm trying out this book The Artist's Way by some American nutter and it has me writing nonsense every morning and it seems like it might actually be quite wonderful.
@TheBreadmonkey
I hope your #parkrun kicks off a better week/month/year.
@TheBreadmonkey
May things improve soon!
🌈🪄✨
@TheBreadmonkey hope you feel better after parkrun. I am absolutely not feeling the joi de beans either, because it is cold, dark and wet out there, the bed is nice and warm and I don't actually *like* running, but I'm going to stumble out and do parkrun anyway. We normally meet with friends for breakfast at a local cafe afterwards, so that's my motivation.
@TheBreadmonkey fingers crossed for you to feel better!
@TheBreadmonkey I'm sure you'll feel better after the run. I'm translating a book about brain chemistry just now and have been reminded how brilliant exercise is for improving mood. There are lots of little neurotransmitters just waiting to make you feel good!
@TheBreadmonkey sorry to hear out of kilter, Ben. Hope the Park do run run hits the spot.
My evening was immeasurably lightened by a brief conversation about the Orion constellation
Me: Look! You see it clearly tonight.
Mrs P: Where?
Me: There. Look, you can see the four points and the central three stars in a row. Orion’s Belt.
Mrs P: What? Brian? Who’s Brian?
In our family it will henceforth be known as Brian’s Belt.
@TheBreadmonkey oof sounds rough! Very much know how that feels, and it ain’t “fun”.
Hope the park run helps, and the weekend gets better for you.
Wishing you some of that laughter and magic!
Thanks Harry! 🙌😊
